Susie, towards the bottom of the page there is a photo of a young man and woman. Click on it.

Steve,
YEA!!!! On a previous show you mentioned paying for an abortion…then the wonderful story of your adoption of your daughter. It was so good to hear Dr. Milam mention recently to a parent that called in about a out of wedlock daughter’s pregnancy’s and how she might consider adoption since it sounded like she was FAR from ready to raise an adult!!!
I do hope you will continue to encourage listeners whether they are pregnant out of wedlock or parents w/children that are pregnant & single to consider adoption. The stats for these kids is so sad & ALL of society is paying for the kids growing up in homes where the parent was not prepared emotionally, financially , etc. to raise a child to adulthood!! Hope to hear many times in 2012 your adopting your daughter and how you gave her a home that her 16 yr old biological parents could not because they were kids themselves..
Keep it up Steve!!!

I’m not sure I agree with Milan concerning the guy who asked about his wife having committed adultery through an emotional affair. Matthew 5:28 states “But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart”. That tells me that if you lust for someone else, like through an emotional affair, you ARE committing adultery.

What was the quote you shared about transformation

I have to agree with Tom above. there is a difference between a stray thought and an emotional affair. An online affair (complete with photo exchange and online ‘activity’ can be just as damaging if not more than a physical affair. I can attest to that, as i am a spouse of one who has had both. And, the emotional affair was almost more devastating, as he shared with this person so much that he was withholding from me, emotionally/intimacy related. Whether it was fantasy or not, the pain has been terrible and very hard to recover from. It is like a part of him was stolen from me and given freely to someone else. So, for once i have to disagree strongly with Milan and i think the comment that “emotional affair is not true adultery” is detrimental to spouses who are contending with this in their mate, it minimizes what the spouse is feeling and negates so much of what i have learned already and am working to cope with. I pray that this comment will seriously be considered again and perhaps better addressed in a future broadcast.

Writing again…just re-listened to NL April 17 —Milan there was talking about emotional affair and seemed to treat it the same as a physical affair. Listening to April 18 that seems to not be the case. Would really like clarification. I continue to be surprised by what was said on April 18 and as Tom, above, quoted from Matthew 5….if we have to take the New Testament as a whole and not cafeteria style, how can the comment of April 18 stand in light of what Jesus said?
