Using God As a Crutch, Only during Bad Times  
 

  By Gregory B  Articles For Christians


If you go to church regularly, pray and read your Bible often, you're probably not the person that I'm talking about here. I'm talking about those people who rarely go to church, rarely associate with other Christians and worst of all, rarely spend any time educating themselves about Christianity.

I'm talking about the people who use God as a crutch and only during the bad times in their life. Let me give you an example, a so-called Christian woman overspends on her credit cards by $75,000. She doesn't know where she's going to get the money and now it's time to start praying to God.

Please God, help me and I won't do it again, I promise. If you could just get me out of this one hole that I've dug myself into, I will start going to church and I will even start to donate some money, if you give me extra.

I'm not asking for much, and like I said, I will never do it again but please God help me.

These are people who use God, only when and if there’s an emergency or only when things in their lives aren't going as planned. You probably know someone like this and if you consider yourself to be a good Christian, people like these often irritate you.

Why do they irritate you? Because some of them actually get their prayers answered and end up in the same situation, later on in their lives, only to repeat the same process of asking for more, while doing less.

To be honest with you, I'm not a Christian and these people really irritate me. When they're around other Christians, they start talking about Christian things, when they're around nonbelievers, they will rarely mention their religious views and last but not least, most of these people, rarely do anything to support Christianity.

Often learning more about Christianity, will help you deal with these people more effectively. Education, especially within your religion can benefit everyone. Start, reading more books today.
