the other woman, by jan fields.

There was a man who lived in one city but worked in another city so far away that he only came home for the weekends. On Sundays, when he was about to leave, he would tell his wife that he loved her. But while he was away, he lived with another woman, whom he loved more. Still, he would call his wife each day to remind her that he did indeed love her.

At the end of the week, he would return home to her with a gift. While he felt that the relationship was sufficient, his wife knew, as only wives can, that there was someone else, and prayed that he would turn back and love her fully.

If you are a casual Christian, then you are this man. A casual Christian goes to church on Sunday, but spends the week living with another lover. We may claim to love God, but without a heart for justice, without submitting our will entirely to God’s, we are just another adulterous spouse in a fabricated relationship.
