The Life God Meant for Me

The Pastor began the sermon by talking about infidelity and fornication. "What a crock." Sara thought as she listened to him go on and on about how sinful it is to cheat on a spouse or sleep with someone other than your spouse. Everybody sitting in the pews knew that First Baptist Church had its share of trouble in that area. It was a known fact that Minister Nadine Hunter was having several affairs last year and that's why she was forced to leave the church. Where was the forgiveness? Not once did she hear anyone in the church bring up the subject of forgiving Minister Hunter for having affairs. But she heard plenty about how a man will be a man and that men cheat, so it's not a big deal. She guessed that's why the men who cheated with Nadine were still members of the church and Minister Hunter was doing street ministry, sometimes in horrible weather. Sara knew that she was growing tired of being around the hypocritical congregation of First Baptist Church. She needed to separate herself from the liars and back stabbers but where could she go? She was sure that every church had its share of the same. Anyway, there was something that kept her coming back to First Baptist Church every Sunday despite the people inside. She didn't know what it was, but decided she wasn't going to worry about it. Sara checked her watch, looked at the Pastor, and wished he would hurry up and make a relevant point. After all, it was time for her to get out of there and go home.
