Just Say "No" to Adultery

Advice from Julie:
With South Carolina's Governor Mark Sanford admitting to an affair, many people are shocked and disgusted. How could he do that to his 4 little boys? How could he do that to his wife? However, his story is only singled out because of his position, but the situation is seen repeated in the lives of many other people. Men and women alike submit to temptations and have adulterous affairs.

Could this happen to you? Yes. If you should ever find yourself under certain circumstances, you may find yourself committing adultery. Can you prevent it? Yes. There are steps you can take to avoid these situation. Frequently, I hear of men in minstry positions who are certain to take along a male friend to help keep them accountable when they are away from their wives. This idea can be applied to both men and women. Ask your close friends to help you stay strong and keep you accountable. Don't enter into places where you might tread on "forbidden soil" without someone whom you trust to keep you on the right path.
