Many times in our lives its not blatant sin that messes us up… but rather certain things that cripple us. We don’t realize it, but we limp in certain areas of our life, we are stunted in others.

 

These 3 things can cause us to be crippled. 

  - Disappointment

  - Resentment

   - Fear of man  

 

 

Why or how does this happen… well

The truth is only God can create… because satan can’t create he cripples. By that I mean he distorts us, our gifts, how we see ourselves and our weaknesses and others. 

 

Many times the deception is carried further by giving the crippling affect some type of a virtuous name. 

This is where the real twisted works of the enemy throw us off our game. We legitimize it or increase its power in our life but defining a crippling defect as a “way of life” or even a positive in our lives. 

When we are angry we say things like I can’t stand injustice… no you are just a hothead. 

We strike out at others and say “well I tend to overprotect the ones I love”. 

Here is a good one… well yes I struggle with porn, but its better than having a real life affair.

Hey skippy- not in the eyes of God. but anyway… 

 

To make things worse (can they get worse? yep!) The fear of man creates an unusual appetite for approval of man. 

You see it easier to accept the approval of man then to put in the hard work of accepting God and his redemptive work. We don’t like to admit it, but it is work to serve God, and work is sometimes hard.

 

So in the end we have our pet sins, we don’t want the world to hate us, or think we are weird or out of touch so we rename them or excuse them and we walk around stunted in our Christian faith. 

If you came to my house and I had poisonous snakes all over and my family and grandkids were always getting bit, and in turn getting tragically sick and some even dying… you would call me out on it- right? How stupid would I sound if I said well they are not snakes, they are actually slip and slides and they help keep the mice away. 

Call it what you will, but you have crippled not only you but your family. 

As my grandpa used to say “you can paint a pig whatever color you want… but it’s still a pig”.
