Promise Keepers ---"Notes"--- Day Two Threats of Isolation
When a man is brought to Christ 93% of the time, the rest of the family did as well.

5 Key Steps

1. Ready
Ready Position = Come to Church ready to serve

2. Pastor Needs a Recruiter
The Pastor/Preacher can't be the only member of a church proselitizing to potential members. It is the church families duty to bring lost persons to the Lord's message, through the Pastor.

3. Neutralize the Opposition
Protect our Leaders, and Pastors. Defend them against libel and gossip. Protect each other from the Sin of loose tongues, and envious thoughts.

4. Be a "Hands On" Leader
Don't merely say you follow Christ, show that you follow Christ, by living faithful to the lords word and intentions.

5. Stay in your lane
We need to create relationships with our fellow christians, so we can be accountable to each other, and build each other spiritually. Celebrating victories, and struggling together in conflicts.

The Threats of Isolation -- Securing the Home Front

Marriage is not a human invention, it is a holy union, defined and designed by God.

God created one woman for each man, and his plan is for them to marry and have children, reared in god fearing homes.

The restoration of marriage is the goal of our lives, ever since the fall of man from the Garden of Eden.

Success is the tenth attempt after nine failures.

What a woman Needs

1. House -- The house is an extension of the way we treat our wives. Women take it personal when we neglect the house. Chores represent relationships to wives. Read the to do list, and know your limitations.

2. Security -- Your wife needs to be secure that she is the only woman in your life. A woman has got to know you will never desert her. NEVER mention the word DIVORCE! Youve got to be faithful to your wife with your body, emotions, and your eyes. Determine, before you are placed in a tempting situation, what actions you will take.

3. Romance -- Relationship's are romance to your wife. Date once a week. Call on the phone. Have a make out party. Find your wife's love language. Rekindle your wifes loves.

4. How to Fight -- Never publicly humiliate your wife. Never abuse your wife. Never bad mouth your wife to anyone. Don't attack the person, attack the issue. Agree to postpone a fight, but never longer than 24 hours. You MUST be able to say, "I'm Sorry" and "I forgive you."

5. Kids -- God first introduced himself as Father. We set up our kids boundaries, with the knowledge and understanding, that if they pass those boundaries, we still love them.. ie..Unconditional Love. Never withold your love from your family. Know that as you have disappointed your Father in Heaven, that your children will disappoint you. Accept their failures, as the Lord has accepted yours.

6. Find a Mentor -- Find a couple you want to be your mentor.


We need to go back and renew our wives and our marriages.
