Two different path met at an unexpected situation...
Rumors rapidly spread out the town that Pastor Fuentes was having a relationship with a whore, Miss Rocess, that caused a decline in church attendance. Some hated him for falling in love with an immoral polyandrous woman - an abhorring transgression in the sight of God. He was the meat of every confabulation or conversation in the town. Depressed and downed he was when he needed to choose between his love, Ms. Rocess or the church. He knew and always had known that God is not his option - He will always be the first. He fought emotional struggles and grappled against social prejudgement as Pastor Whoremonger.
One Wednesday, he was standing in the pulpit to deliver his message in a Bible Study when almost all of the attendees boycotted him. While he was sharing about respect, they walked out murmuring. Brokenhearted, tears shimmered in his dejected eyes as he slipped the words with a knotting voice, "God loves you." Ms. Rocess rushed on the stage and embraced him hardly, and sobbed, "Sorry, it's all my fault. I'm despised..."
How could he mend the broken church's trust? Is he going to give up the church or his fiancée?
