Busy week. A higher than usual number of people come in for appointments each January, a month of new starts, fresh commitments. And even though I’m not a big fan of New Year’s resolutions, I love the freshness of the new Daytimers, new digits on the check book, and the multitude of “OK this year we’re really going to ---” remarks that pass between my wife and I. For me this is an idealistic season, one that I know will nudge me further along towards important goals. I’ll improve, mess up, improve again, and wind up a few notches Continue Reading
Every Tuesday we’ll post something to do with strengthening marriages. Hope it helps. — Still In the Dog House? Try a Weekly State of the Union Address For the married man, there can be a real helplessness that goes along with repentance. You know you’ve messed up, you’ve apologized every which way you can, and you’ve taken some concrete steps to get help. You’ve joined an accountability group, you’ve gotten yourself an accountability partner, you’re in counseling, and you make sure that on a daily basis you’re in Continue Reading
Every Wednesday we’ll post a message having to do with doctrine and purity. Hope it helps. — Home Sweet Battlefield I’m reminded daily that although God created the World, this World is not the way He created it. It became something else. When Adam sinned, everything in the environment – man, woman, the earth itself and the spiritual realm – changed. Read Genesis 3 in its entirety and you see the devastation of Paradise Lost, and the new form the world would take. An ongoing battle would ensue between Satan and Eve’s Seed, Continue Reading
Every Friday we’ll take a break from topical posts and will post some random personal thoughts. — A Cuppa Joe - Random Ramblings from a Fellow Struggler I’d sure appreciate your prayers this weekend, as I will be teaching The Game Plan seminar at a men’s retreat in Atlanta. This is always an honor and a lot of fun as well, and I always look forward to being with other guys who are ready to get honest and serious about sexual purity. Since 1987 I’ve had the honor of working with men like that. I’ve admired their courage in Continue Reading
Every Friday we’ll take a break from topical posts and will post some random personal thoughts. — A Cuppa Joe - Random Ramblings from a Fellow Struggler Scanning a newspaper and feeling encouraged don’t general go together, but this morning I find they do, for three reasons. First there’s Kylie Bisutti, a name you’re no doubt hearing repeatedly. She was the Victoria’s Secret Runway Angel of 2009 who, as a Christian, found it harder and harder to justify earning her income through modeling sexy lingerie. Recently married, she Continue Reading
Every Tuesday we’ll post something to do with restoring marriages. Hope it helps. --- Shemergencies Emergency Situations Wives Often Face (And A Few Brief Suggestions That I Hope Will Help!) “I just found out my husband’s using internet porn. What do I do?” 1. Make sure he knows that you know he’s been using porn, and that it is completely unacceptable to you. Don’t accept a simple, “Sorry, it won’t happen again.” Instead, let him know that you consider his porn use to be serious enough to warrant action in Continue Reading
Every Monday we’ll post something to do with maintaining sexual purity. Hope it helps. — Different Worlds, Common Struggles, Amazing Grace How was your Friday night? That’s good. Mine? Oh, my Amish buddies and I just got together to chat over coffee about porn and such. Yes. I was teaching The Game Plan seminar in Ohio, and my host, a wonderful Mennonite pastor with close ties to the Amish community in his area, arranged a pre-seminar meeting between myself and local Amish leaders to acquaint them with our work, talk about Continue Reading

Truly looking forward to being with the students to talk this through, as candidly and boldly as Continue Reading
