Broken Man (Part II)

(continued from Part I)

Little by little, he felt alienated by the church and fellowship he helped build. He met with new friends. He picked up habits which were taboo to him like smoking and drinking. His search no longer centered on Jesus. His ritual became partying at least three nights a week. He would show up to church every once in a while, but this was rare because of the hangover from the night before.

Along the way he offended someone he held dear to his heart. He remembered that God would never push him more than he can handle. Yet he was tested and failed. He cursed God and renounced his faith. He was resolute to live the life of an agnostic.

For years, he lived his life not caring about church. After being unemployed, he was given a position at the church he grew up in. He took a pragmatic approach in that this was a job. He was made to attend church but he worked in the background so he could hide and do what he wanted.
