Week #2- Frat House Rewind

Here’s your 2x4, now hit yourself!

We woke up with coffee and a 2x4 this morning. The biggest struggle that we face as men, is women. No, not the battle of the sexes type struggle, but of our lust for those who a) are not our wife, or b) we are not married to. We saw it with King David. Look in Acts 13:22 and you will see how favored he was in God’s eyes. But then look in 2 Samuel 11:1 and see how David put himself in the wrong place on purpose, contributing to his own moral decline. Now, ask yourself this question:

What places do we need to watch out for?

As we keep reading in 2 Samuel 11, we see that David’s eyes began to wander. Sound familiar? Affairs don’t happen overnight, yet they hit like a linebacker coming around the O-line and we are the QB. Great, blindsided. Our guard was down. It starts when we let our eyes wander.

What areas do we need to lock out visually so we won’t go there? How can we do it?

The road to victory lies in the relationships we have with other Christian men. James 5:16 gives it to us no uncertain terms. We must be accountable to those other men.

Are we struggling with the wrong place or uncontrolled eyes?

We must be honest with ourselves before we can be honest with others. Take the weight of, find that other man, and “confess your sins to each other.” Check out this blog from Perry Noble: it’s not just for pastors.
