LEADERSHIP and our sister magazines from Christianity Today, Inc. went &#8220;online&#8221;&#8211;anyone with a computer, modem, and phone line can access our magazines electronically and send us instant messages.<\/p>\n\n<p>It&#8217;s a strange new world&#8211;more immediate, but a bit more abrupt than the world of postcards and first-class mail.<\/p>\n\n<p>A couple of weeks ago, I was &#8220;trolling&#8221; online&#8211;checking message boards and reading e-mail to the editors&#8211;when I came across this one-liner sent by someone with the screen name Pedro (and a bunch of numbers).<\/p>\n\n<p>The message: &#8220;Christianity is a crutch for the weak.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n<p>That was all. I wondered why Pedro bothered to send this e-note (it&#8217;s hard to call seven words &#8220;mail&#8221;). It was a harmless drive-by egging of a Christian magazine&#8217;s e-mail box&#8211;sent anonymously from a computer somewhere (next door? someplace in Indonesia?). But it&#8217;s what you get when you put your magazine on a public newsstand and invite people to comment.<\/p>\n\n<p>Since the message was hardly a new accusation, I would have ignored it, except for one thing: not only am I a Christian, but for the previous six weeks, I&#8217;d been on crutches. Literally.<\/p>\n\n<p>While playing in a men&#8217;s soccer league, with dreams of athletic glory, I&#8217;d tried to maneuver the ball past the last defender. Instead, I haplessly got tangled up with him, stepped on the ball, rolled my left ankle, and broke my fibula. Hello, cast and crutches.<\/p>\n\n<p>So Pedro&#8217;s note jabbed me, both as a Christian and as someone with a crutch or two.<\/p>\n\n<p>I replied by saying it sounded as if he&#8217;d had a sour experience with Christians, and for that I was sorry, but I felt the need to respond since I&#8217;d been living with Christianity for thirty-six years and with crutches for six weeks.<\/p>\n\n<p>From my point of view, crutches are not for the weak. For the last month and a half, my arms and especially my underarms had gotten quite a workout. And they were feeling much stronger, thank you.<\/p>\n\n<p>And crutches are definitely not for the faint of heart. For sheer tension, crossing an icy parking lot on crutches rivals rappelling down a cliff.<\/p>\n\n<p>Who are crutches for? For those who are broken, who admit something is wrong and want to get better. For people who want to continue being active&#8211;not sitting around with their feet up&#8211;but getting around, engaging in work and relationships.<\/p>\n\n<p>Likewise, Christianity is for broken people. But it&#8217;s definitely not for the weak or faint of heart. The Pedros of the world may see ministers as weaklings, as peddlers of pacifiers. But I invited Pedro to pick any one of the Christian virtues&#8211;love, joy, peace, patience, gentleness, kindness, self-control&#8211;and practice it intently for one day. He&#8217;d quickly see that any Christian virtue demands strength of character, not atrophied spiritual muscle.<\/p>\n\n<p>I never heard back from Pedro&#8211;I pray he&#8217;ll give Christ a chance. He&#8217;ll find faith is no easy out from reality. It&#8217;s an invitation to walk again after reality breaks you.<\/p>\n\n<p>As I&#8217;ve thought about it since, if he wanted to put down Christianity by calling it a crutch, he was far too mild. Christianity isn&#8217;t a crutch for the weak&#8211;it&#8217;s a heart transplant for the dying. It&#8217;s for people who know they can&#8217;t live without a Donor to provide what they can&#8217;t live without.<\/p>\n\n<p>Our ministry isn&#8217;t telling people what they want to hear. It&#8217;s giving them an accurate diagnosis&#8211;and then helping them through surgery and rehab.<\/p>\n\n<p>**********************<\/p>\n\n<p>Marshall Shelley is executive editor of LEADERSHIP.<\/p>\n\n<p>Copyright (c) 1995 Christianity Today, Inc.\/LEADERSHIP Journal<\/p>\n\n<p>lecurrmrw5L3138573f<\/p>\n\n<p class=\"is-style-article-copyright\">Copyright &copy; 1995 by the author or Christianity Today\/<em class=\"citation\">Leadership Journal<\/em>.\n<a href=\"http:\/\/www.christianitytoday.com\/le\/help\/permissionsprivacy\/permissions.html#answer\" target=\"_blank\" class=\"copyright\" rel=\"noopener\">Click here<\/a> for reprint information on <em class=\"citation\">Leadership Journal<\/em>.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Recently I was introduced to &#8220;cyberspace,&#8221; the electronic world of paperless communication.
