Christianity Is a Crutch

by Zeke Flores

Some people say, "Christianity is a crutch for the weak!"

I agree; it is a crutch. More precisely, it's a help, a way to cope. God's way is a comfort for the afflicted (II Corinthians 1:3-5), help for the persecuted (Hebrews 10:32-39), and strength for the downtrodden (Romans 8:31,36-39). The reason we need this "crutch" is because we 𝘢𝘳𝘦 weak. We're unable to navigate life solely on our own, and who better to guide us than the One who created us and knows us best?

But because faith is a help for the helpless, it does not mean it doesn't take grit and determination to see it through. Yes, Christianity is a crutch for the weak, but it's not for sissies.

"For the word of the cross is foolishness to those who are perishing, but to us who are being saved it is the power of God" (I Corinthians 1:18).
