Point Man Book Study (2 of 4)
Guest: Gabe Boyd and Michael Thornberry
Point Man: How a Man Can Lead His Family (Revised & Updated Version) by Steve Farrar
Chapter 3 Real Men Don’t
Real men don’t commit adultery.
“Affair” vs. “Adultery”
An affair is “an escape from reality, or a search for meaning outside the marriage.”
Usually happens in the life of a man who is either bored or frustrated with his marriage.
When you leave your wife to commit adultery with another woman, you take yourself with you. And you are your biggest problem.
1 Samuel 2:30 - “Those who honor Me, I will honor.”
The lure of adultery is that another woman will truly meet your needs.

A one-woman kind of man is a man who demonstrates his commitment by disciplining his eyes.
W.M. Taylor said, “Temptation rarely comes in working hours. It is in their leisure time that men are made or marred.”
Temptation itself is not sin but a call to battle…

John Calvin
