Act Like A Man: How A Man Can Live Out His FaithSample

There is too much unplanned pregnancies among singles because of pre-marital sex, stories of adultery left and right, movies and tv series that exposes us and our kids to the harsh realities of life and in a way numbs us to what is right. So what do we do? What I am about to suggest might be extreme and it sounds legalistic but I hope I don't come across as one. Hindi out of self righteousness or pride that I write the things I will suggest but out of the knowledge that I can be easily tempted and I have to rely on the Holy Spirit to help me overcome sexual temptation. Dahil conscious ako sa of weaknesses ko at kailangan ko mag depend kay Lord, I acknowledge that I am as powerless as every man if I don't hold on to Christ and find my pleasure in Him. Jesus Himself went to extreme measures to tell us not to take sexual temptation lightly. Here are some practical tips AT HOME: 1. Since I know I can succumb to online pornography, my wife and I can check on our personal history. Also we try as much as possible not to surf the net alone at night. We are visible when we are using the internet. 2. TV has changed in a decade. What we feed our mind, makes up our mind. Thammie and I made the decision not to have cable tv at home. Some thought we might not survive but after 6 years we are still alive and well. AT WORK: 1. Don't eat with the opposite sex alone. Make sure to go out as groups. 2. Don't drive your female colleague home. 3. Never counsel the opposite sex alone. I make sure that there is another person when I am talking to a woman in my office. 4. We installed glass doors in our offices for transparency. You will be surprised that most sexual acts are done in the office.
