Marriage Conference – part 2

I wrote on Friday about day 1 of a marriage conference my wife and I attended, about Eph 6 and the belt of truth. The next day the speakers went through the rest of the armor of God and how it applies to us and how we can use to strengthen (or save) our marriages. It was an excellent conference with a funny, fresh approach to the armor of God. After the conference, my wife simply said, "I thought we were doing all that and it still didn't work". Ouch! Not good. As you can tell, I led a double life while I was on the road, and many, many men that I knew did too. Did you know that 50% of hotel rooms on any given night have porn showing on the hotel TV? I wonder how many of those are of Christian men who want to break out of the bondage of their addiction and sin.

Learning Some Things!

I am definately learning some things as this proceeds. Being available for men in times of crisis is one thing...they call when they are on the road, tempted to do what they know is wrong - and I answer and talk to them. BUT...how do I get to them right when Satan plants that little seed of temptation -- on their way to their destination when they see a billboard, as they drive to their hotel and see a bar/club that looks inviting, as they pass the hotel bar, as they check out the movie titles of the pornos on the tv. All these are seeds from the enemy. He plants them in our minds, then waters them and waits for them to sprout. The key to saving a man who is on the road is to prevent those seeds from ever getting planted. Equipping them to not "see" the seeds is critical. Crisis Management is one thing, but never letting the seeds take hold is another path to freedom!
Traveling Man is a high contact ministry to help the guy on the road stay pure.

Traveling Man Ministry!

Wow! I have never blogged before, so here we go! Welcome to the Traveling Man Ministry blog. My name is Kevin, and I was a traveling man! I fully understand what can happen on the road, the temptations men can be hit with, and how we typically respond. I am here to help men who travel for business fight off temptation from alcohol, gambling, internet porn, porn movies, and infidelity. However, even if you are not battling temptation while traveling, we can help you from falling into the trap that many of us have. This ministry is designed for a high level of personal contact to develop a relationship that can truly benefit the traveler.
