Weak-kneed Christians

 Praise the LORD!!!

    Exactly what this is about, I'm not totally sure of, but GOD has laid this term upon my heart and I must define it for others! It is just a bit to long to explain on most of the social sites that I frequent, so this is the best means to display it.

   A weak-kneed Christian: those that are constantly on their knees in prayer, not for others, but for themselves, when the slightest difficulty arises within their lives. They're a product of the last several generations of preaching, where more emphasis has been placed on the numbers of converts and not on discipleship of those produced.

   In the examples of JESUS' prayers in scripture, all but one were for other people. The only one where HE prayed for HIMself was the night of HIS arrest in the garden. HIS example is supposed to be the one that we follow in our lives, but this seems far from true.

   This is where this is to end. I'm sure the LORD has a great deal more that will be following, but for now, you have the definition!
