Ministers counsel with members of the opposite sex every day. It is often an important function of their jobs. What could possibly go wrong with this type of relationship? Unfortunately, our adversary (1 Peter 5:8) can take a seemingly innocent situation and create havoc. Good people with good intentions can find themselves entangled in a sinful situation as they cross fences that should never be traversed. That tragedy could even happen to a minister. In this book, we will explore areas such as geographical, locational, sensorial, and emotional fences that ministers, and those with whom they counsel, would do well to respect. Is there hope for ministers who have crossed the line and subsequently have repented of their sins? Should a minister simply resign from ministry and pursue another type of vocation since he might feel that his "e;moral authority"e; is severely compromised? Our adversary would say without reservation, "e;Yes, by all means quit!"e; God, on the other hand, tells us to never give up! This God we serve is willing and happy to forgive. God not only can help a minister to continue as an effective servant of His but also can help him to grow even more and be a powerful and effective force in His kingdom. This book is helpful not only to ministers but also to all people who from day to day are in various types of men/women relationships. Our working conditions throughout the United States have changed drastically over the past few generations. More women are the workforce outside of the home. The Apostle Paul challenges Christian's to "e;walk circumspectly"e; (Ephesians5:15). This means to step carefully, to be sure that we are on solid spiritual ground with each step we take. I believe Fence Sense can be helpful to us in that endeavor.
