Make your final decision that you will not commit fornication or adultery.....that you will stay pure in your service to God. Men who study psychology say that once a man has firmry made up his mind about something, he will never change it!
The Bible talks about this when it speaks of a "repentance not to be repented of" or a "repentance without regret" (2 Cor 7:10)
Once we make a firm decision to turn from sin to such a degree that we won't change our mind, we have made a repentance without regret.
Mnay of us believe that adultery and fornication are sins not to be played with, but we often reserve a small corner in our minds to toy with the idea. We don't totally banish the thought of it from our minds nor do we challenge Satan any time he brings the suggestion to us.
Brethen, in so doing, you are sowing seeds of your own destruction. No matter how small or insignificant you thingk those thoughts are, they are large enought to give Satan all the foothold he needed.

Be Faithful To Your Wife
No matter how successful your ministry, please note that the girl you married is still your top priority. You will ultimately fail if you forget your God-given responsibility for your wife.
Proverbs is unyielding about this kind of a situation: "The one who commits adultery with a woman is lacking sense; he who would destroy himself does it. Wounds and disgrace he will find, and his reproach will not be blotted out.
"For jealousy enrages a man and he will not spare in the day of vengeance. He will not accept any ransom, nor will he be content though you give many gifts" (Prov 6:32-35).
God will forgive and forget the sin of the leader who falls and truly repents. But, the people will not. They will remember the rest of their lives - and many will never forgive the man who let them down by his moral failure. Such leaders will be haunted day and night by thoughts of "what might have been - had I not sinned"

God Ordained Marriage
God ordained marriage because a man and a woman aren't complete without one another. They need each other as helper to make it possible to survive the rough attacks life brings.
"Two aer better than one....if one falls, the other pulls him up; but if a man falls when he is alone, he is in trouble.....And one standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer.."(Eccl 4:9,12).
This describes what God intended marriage to be, one pulling up another and each helping the other. When God made the woman for the man, it was so she would be a helper. Unfortunately, instead of Eve helping Adam to fulfill the purpose of God, she helped him to fail.
The devil found a helper in Eve. The deveil couldn't destroy Adam directly, so he worked through the woman.
I wonder how often husbands have neutralized their wives' ministry, and wives have neutralized their minister husbands' ministry by unwittingly becoming "helpers" of Satan - for their own selfish reasons.
