Crutches

People say that Christianity is a crutch. But that implies that people are weak and cannot walk by themselves. Then you may as well try these crutches with me.

If Christianity is false then we will put the weight of our burdens on false crutches and they will break and we will stumble and fall and hurt ourselves and never trust those crutches again and join those who don’t see the need for crutches. 

If we put our weight on true crutches then we will be healed from our spiritual death and in God the Spirit will lift us like Ezekiel and empower us to run like Elijah. We will walk, stumble, climb, crawl, sprint, bruise, cry, laugh, trip, rest, and piggy-back-ride on the road of sanctification. 

Billions have tried the crutches. Billions have kept them and learnt to walk with them. The great fear is holding the crutches in our hands but never putting any weight on them, because then we will never walk at all.

    Sometimes, when one has used crutches for many years, by putting weight on them and using them for every step taken, one can react and get tired of them – or worse, it seems like they get tired of you, then you have to dig deeper and find other solutions. The point is not ‘the crutch’ but your destination so if a scooter helps you get there -then use it. As long as you sure where or why you’re going ie what your final destination is. The point is that you’re trying to move forward and it can be damn difficult but if you’re determined to reach your goal, then the pain and frustration and hardships along the way somehow are worth the prize at the end…. So use crutches, scooters, friends, church as long as these help you get there – and therein lies the choice.
    I’ve enjoyed reading your blog (in the middle of) tonight my darling boy….I’m so proud of you and love you very much. Mom.
