A common saying in our culture is that Christianity is a crutch. Is it true?

Hebrews 1:9, 4:15; 1 John 2:13; Romans 4:8

Our religion has always been under attack in society.

Crutch = implement used by people for support when injured.

What do people use to aid their deficiencies? Material possessions, alcohol, food, smoking, drugs, sin, etc.

We DO need a crutch! It’s Jesus! We need Him, His power, and His control.

The culture says that Christians are weaker than they are; they can depend on themselves.

The church can be compared to a hospital. It’s full of wounded and ill people in the process of being healed.

We have to admit that we need treatment. We are ill.

Everyone needs a crutch.

We have a Savior that knows us. He knows what it’s like to be human (Hebrews 4:15).

He offers more than a crutch; He offers a cross.
