A staff member informed me the other day that a couple of ministers we knew had extra-marital affairs and were no longer serving in their churches. He wanted to know what I was doing to safeguard my marriage and my role as a spiritual leader . That conversation led me to reflect on what I have done to stay faithful to my best friend for over thirty-six years . (Most of what I wrote in my previous blog applies to this topic, too.) In my book, An Angel in the Flame: A Tale of Two Saviors , the story of Samson with an eye to Jesus, our true Savior,  I write: You can tell a man's character by two things: how he prays and how he manages his sex drive. How a man prays exposes his heart and to whom he bends his knee. How he manages his sexual urges exposes the depth of discipline in his life. Hypocrisy can mask both aspects of his life, and he can act out a persona many will accept as real. However, crisis and leisure are crucibles that reveal a person's true character. No Oscar...
