E.Umana here, I hope you had a good weekend. Let me know what you think about this post.

It starting to feel like everywhere you turn, there’s another politician caught up in a cheating scandal. The airwaves were filled with it this past week. Politicians from both political parties have been exposed. Its so pervasive that Greta Van Susteren of Fox news did a news special chronicling their foibles.

One person even said to me that everybody does it, to which I protested my disagreement.

Cohabiting before marriage,children born out of wedlock, where the parents have absolutely no intention of ever marrying,pervades the moral landscape and is considered no big deal.

 

As believers, we know that it is a big deal. We are not to throw stones at glass houses, we all have our flaws;but there are those who flaunt their immorality.

Nobody will ever be perfect in this life;however, True believers strive to do better and then there are those who cry stop judging me or the buzzword of the day is “judgmental” or “so-called christian”

 

FOR EXAMPLE  “I consider your wife Sarah to be my friend.

I know what you two have gone through. How could you ever do that to her? Your affair could endanger your life and hers, Sarah really doesn’t deserve this, Have you been tested for HIV, gonorrhea, HPV, Herpes,Syphilis or any of the other venereal diseases out there?

What about the kids? Are you being the best example of what a father should be to them?

 

When Sarah finds out and mark my word, she will find out,even if not by me, you will be getting a divorce as Sarah won’t be able to trust a single word that comes out of your mouth.

 

You claim to know God and you do this? when the world sees christians willfully sinning against God over and over again, it causes the world to see christians as hypocrites and blaspheme God. Think about it.

The cheater responds predictably: Stop judging me. We’ve known each other since grade school and if you want to still be my friend, You’ll keep your mouth shut, I love Sarah, but I need time to break off the affair.

The friend responds: I’m not judging you, but what you’re doing is wrong, if we, as believers can’t make judgements between right and wrong,lest we offend. someone who wants to keep doing wrong, then we’re in big trouble. Stop making excuses.

Come clean to Sarah and beg for her forgiveness, Knowing Sarah as I do, I doubt she’ll take you back as affairs can be overcome by some couples if the wronged spouse can truly forgive and the cheater get counseling;but the trust is extremely hard to get back as you know how much Sarah talks about how important  trust is.

You have to take the chance that your marriage may be over, if you don’t do it, I will,I mean it and I sure as heck will not lie to protect either,No games just do it now.

Cheater: Ok, I’ll do it.

Cheating permeates every level of society, but those who violate the public’s trust in their integrity and gave them the honor of being in public office really disgusts and disappoints me.

 

Representatives of the people are human;but they are to be held to a higher standard. holding public office is not a right its a privilege. Not everyone gets that honor.

The lengths, some of them go to cover up the affair. Ducking in hotels,making payoffs, contacting the women they carried on with to keep quiet,secret children etc.

Despite the fact, that sex and infidelity are being thrown around everywhere, Everyone is not being unfaithful, despite all the temptation around them including the ease with which we are able to go online and find friends from grade school from over 25 years ago and reconnect.

It is not impossible to be faithful to our spouses. The verse, I can do all things through christ who strengthens me (Phillipians 4v13) comes to mind.

 

God would not set parameters or limits on anything, if it was not ultimately for our own good.

I shudder to think of how the younger generations will fare. The Wall Street Journal layed it out in a story  entitled.

The Young and the Restless: Why Infidelity Is Rising Among 20-Somethings.

Some people in other countries when they hear of the cheating scandals and the controversy and condemnation of the cheating politician,actually called on Americans to not be so puritanical (which is hardly the case) infidelity is wrong and shouldn’t be taken lightly.
