Christians never set out to be caught in scandalous sin.
The pastor never set out to have an adulterous affair. The member of his church first came to see him after her close friend had died. She came for counselling to help her grieve.
They cried together and hugged and made another appointment.
At the next appointment, the pastor held her hand – he thought it would be a comfort – and when she left, after they made another appointment, they hugged again and shared a quick kiss. Meanwhile the pastor himself was feeling stressed out and undervalued; finally, there was someone who really appreciated his ministry.
The church appointments became home visits. The hugs lingered. The kissing increased. And they ended up sleeping together.
Until one day, her husband arrived home early.
