SERMON THAT TOUCHES THE HEART: THE DAY MY BOYFRIEND AND I WENT TO CHURCH

My boyfriend and I drove to church one Sunday. I had gone to his
house on Friday from work; I hadn't visited him for a very long time.
Gosh! It was one of the wildest weekends I have ever witnessed.
From that Friday night, the only break we had from the sheets were
times we had our meals and a couple other times.
On Sunday, we got into church as usual. We sang and danced like every
other worshipper.
My boyfriend and I were all 'touchy touchy'; he would whisper
something into my ears and I would whisper too. What looked like
Sunday as usual took a different turn when our pastor mounted the
podium. His sermon was titled "First Love"; he was preaching how we
related with God the first time we gave our lives to Christ.
He kept mentioning all the things Christians do these days without any
sense of guilt.
He turned to a corner of the hall and said "I can tell you for certain
that some of you came to church today straight from your boyfriends'
bedrooms." The part of the hall he was pointing at happened to be
where we sat. "Somebody there, you are looking at me now; you came to
church from your boyfriend's house."
The whole congregation was quiet; everyone listened to the pastor with
a straight face.
At the end of the sermon, pastor made an 'altar call'; "bow down your
head and close your eyes" he commanded.
"If you know you purposely lied or deceived someone or you committed
fornication this week come to the altar." It was a very fiery sermon.
More than half of the church emptied to the altar.
"Do not wait for anybody; do not look at your partner especially if
your sin partner is there with you."
I squeezed Fred's hand, hoping he would jump to his feet and lead the
way to the altar. He did not move. I left him there and walked down to
the altar.
After prayers, I returned to my seat only to find out Fred was not
there. I reached for my seat and sat down. On looking up, I saw him
returning from the altar.
Back in the house, we both looked like fowls thoroughly beaten in the
rain. Before I left his house that evening, we resolved we were going
to abstain from sex until we have tied the knot.
