Jesus Is My Crutch
2COR129
As a “pandemic pastor” beginning ministry in 2020, to say I was a bit overwhelmed would be an understatement.
Even with the joy and support of co-pastoring with my spouse, the transition to a new place and vocation had its rough spots.
Ministry was not foreign to me. I have a deep love for the church and have been involved in a variety of ministries inside and outside the church since I was a child. Sunday school, Vacation Bible School, Bible studies, Agape Confrontation street ministry, The Navigators, Discipleship Coordinator, Presbyterian Youth Pastor, trustee, elder, worship team member….all helped form me and continue to inform my role as pastor.
It was during this time when, as is often the case, my creative side expressed visually much of what I was wrestling with internally. I realized very quickly early on that, in my life every day, but especially as a pastor, I could not do this on my own strength.
No amount of experience, knowledge, imagination, energy, or will would make me a good and effective pastor unless I was, as the old Gospel song says, “leaning on Jesus.”
I am not sure when the idea came to me, but one morning, in my office, I sat down and made the drawing that serves as the featured image for this post.
Along with my early ministry angst and inadequacies, I was reminded of one of my favorite verses:
“But he said to me, ‘My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.'” 2 Corinthians 12:9.
The term “Jesus Is A Crutch” has been used as a way to somehow discredit those who have placed their faith in a Jewish carpenter who walked the earth 2000 years ago. It does sound rather ludicrous when you think about it. But then I guess I’ll keep choosing to be a fool for Christ.
You see, that day long ago at the beginning of my ministry, I embraced the idea of Jesus as my crutch. Because I realized that no matter how broken or weak or inadequate I was, if I was leaning on Jesus, that crutch would never break.
That was six years ago, and since that time, that illustration has sat on the top shelf of the bookcase in our pastors’ office facing our desk. I look up and see it multiple times when I am working on a sermon, listening to someone, or choosing a commentary or book. The picture is there, a kind of icon, to remind me that yeah, Jesus is my crutch. Hallelujah!
Recently, I got to wondering about using the image to create a t-shirt. The shirt arrived this week, which inspired me to put it on (smile) and write this reflection.
The shirt is available for purchase at https://www.stickermule.com/peacegrooves/item/21041075
Proceeds help support the work of PeaceGrooves and other creative projects.
Like the image that inspired it, the tee is a reminder to me, and hopefully for you as well, that every second of every day, we need to be “leaning on the everlasting arms.”

The white cow’s belly glows orange with henna, a mark of devotion or celebration. This storm-lit forest scene layers divine play with earthly care—Krishna’s power hidden in the villagers’ gestures.
Why does the cow’s henna stand out against the storm’s deep blues?

The Problem of False Preacher Teacher Clerical Ministering Within Modern Day Churches
The table of the Lord is Holy.
The food we receive must come from the Priest-King Himself—pure, undefiled, and flowing from the Holiest of All.
Yet in our time, that table has been defiled.
The church has become a place where food offered to idols is served. These idols are not of wood and stone but of political causes, cultural trends, social programmes, and false moral appearances. They are the idols of the age, and they have been brought into the sanctuary.
The Social Gospel, with all its political causes and cultural trends, is such an idol.
It sounds compassionate to the natural ear, but it sacrifices the true Gospel on the altar of this world. It offers earthly reform where the Priest-King Jesus Christ offers heavenly reconciliation.
It speaks of systems and power where He speaks of the cross and the throne of grace. It rearranges deck chairs on a sinking ship. It offers programs where it should offer presence. It offers politics where it should offer peace. It offers activism where it should offer adoration.
This is not the Gospel. It is a counterfeit—a substitute that speaks of earthly kingdoms while ignoring the heavenly. It is food wrapped in pretty paper, but inside is rotting meat. It is a deception, a snare, and a trap.
Congregations that consume this food are not being heart-fed; they are being mind-fed. Their souls are starved while their minds are filled with the philosophies of men. Those who serve this food as if it were the Gospel are not acting as faithful shepherds of the flock; they are leading souls away from the true pasture.
We make it very clear, we do not seek merely to promote our own theology within COFE-CYEM by pointing the finger at (any) other theologies, denominations or faiths. COFE-CYEM itself makes many claims around our theology, our belief system and our faith.
We do not expect or ask everybody to just blindly believe our way of seeing and believing. All we seek is to call attention to the issue of the church and faith itself being used as a Trojan Horse for (worldly) purposes in order to further the interests of man and not God Himself.
We implore our followers respectfully – if you ever feel, suspect or see anything whatsoever within our own theology or posts here on COFE-CYEM that you believe is pushing (worldly) purposes or schemes, then please call us out and expose us.
We are no different or more righteous than any other brother or sister in Christ. But if we were to be found (using) the true Gospel as a Trojan Horse to push a false Gospel for our own purposes – then we are truly lost indeed.
The Nature of the Deception
The danger arises whenever social action, political programmes, or cultural causes become substitutes for the proclamation of Christ crucified and risen, rather than fruits flowing from communion with Him.
The New Testament consistently presents love for neighbour and care for the poor as genuine expressions of faith, not as alternatives to it.
The error is not in caring for the needy or seeking justice. The error is in presenting such activities as the Gospel itself, or as a sufficient substitute for repentance, faith in Christ, and the new birth.
Those who preach this substitute gospel speak of power where the Priest-King spoke of weakness. They speak of victory where He spoke of the cross. They speak of this world as if it were the only world. They have departed from the faith and given themselves over to the spirit of the age.
They have exchanged the Gospel of the finished work for a gospel of social reform. They have exchanged the cross for a political platform. They have exchanged the throne of grace for a seat of power. They have exchanged the rest that remains for the restless striving of the world. They have exchanged the Holiest of All for the outer courts of carnal religion.
This is not a judgment on persons but a discernment of teaching. We do not know the hearts of those who preach these things, and we leave their final judgment to God.
We are called to test the spirits and to distinguish between the pure food of the Gospel and the poisoned food that has been offered to idols. The warning is not against individuals but against the teaching itself, which, however attractively packaged, leads away from Christ.
The Rot Beneath the Wrapping
False teaching often comes wrapped in the language of the Bible, the imagery of the cross, and the emotions of the congregation. It speaks of love, justice, and compassion, but it hollows out their meaning. It is like the fig tree that had leaves but no fruit—a show of life without the reality of life.
Congregations that consume this food are being fed a diet of politics, activism, and social reform, but they are not being fed the pure Word of God.
They are being told to fight for earthly causes, but they are not being told to enter the Holiest of All. They are being told to change the world, but they are not being told to rest in the finished work of the Priest-King.
They are being told to be activists, but they are not being told to be worshippers. They are being told to build the kingdom of God on earth, but they are not being told that the Kingdom of God is within them.
The food that is being served is a gospel of the flesh, a gospel of the world, a gospel of the age. It has no power to save, no power to transform, and no power to bring the soul into the presence of God.
It leads to exhaustion, burnout, and disillusionment. It leads away from the Priest-King, not toward Him. It leads to the outer court, not the Holiest of All. The invitation to serve God in the world becomes a substitute for the invitation to abide in Christ.
The True Gospel and the Mind of Christ
The real Gospel is not a gospel of prosperity, politics, or social reform disguised as salvation. It is not a gospel of emotional experience without transformation.
The real Gospel is this: Jesus Christ, the Priest-King has entered the Holiest of All through His own blood.
The veil is torn.
The way is open.
Every soul who draws near through Him receives mercy, finds grace, and enters the rest that remains.
He ever lives to make intercession.
He brings God to us and us to God. In Him, we are accepted. In Him, we are kept. In Him, the endless life of God flows freely to all who will come. That is the Gospel. Not a portion of it. Not a version of it. It.
The mind of Christ is not the mind of carnal man, which seeks power, recognition, and earthly comfort. The mind of Christ empties itself, takes the form of a servant, becomes obedient unto death, and is exalted by the Father. The mind of Christ builds the church on the rock of revelation, and the gates of hell do not prevail against it.
The mind of Christ measures faithfulness by abiding in the Father’s presence. Those who preach the substitute gospel do not have the mind of Christ. They have the mind of the flesh, the mind of the world, the mind of the age.
They have not entered the Holiest of All. They have not passed through the veil. They have not been cleansed by the blood. They have not received the endless life. They remain in the outer courts, serving the idols of the age.
The Call of This Hour: Wake Up and Return
The call of this hour is clear. The pews empty because souls are hungry for reality—not programs, not politics, not noise, but the living presence of God in truth. Congregations must wake up. They must open their eyes to the deception of false teaching.
They must stop eating the food that has been sacrificed to idols. They must return to the table of the Lord, where pure food is served—the finished work of the Priest-King, the open way into the Holiest of All, the rest that remains, and the endless life that flows from His intercession.
The table of the Lord has been turned into a place where food offered to idols is served. The Gospel of the finished work has been exchanged for a gospel of social reform. The cross has been exchanged for a political platform. The throne of grace has been exchanged for a seat of power.
The rest that remains has been exchanged for the restless striving of the world. The Holiest of All has been exchanged for the outer courts of carnal religion. The church has been used as a Trojan Horse for political purposes, hiding its true agenda behind the language of compassion, justice, and love.
The congregations that continue to consume this food are being poisoned. They are being led astray. They are being robbed of their inheritance. They are being kept from the Holiest of All, from the rest that remains, from the endless life, from the Priest-King.
The time has come for them to wake up. The time has come for them to return. The time has come for them to stop eating the rotting meat and to come to the table of the Lord, where pure food is served.
The true church of the real Gospel is often small, overlooked, and ridiculed. But it knows the voice of the Shepherd. It does not follow the stranger. It abides in the Word. It dwells in the Holiest. The true church does not eat food sacrificed to idols. It does not bow to the false gods of the age.
It does not compromise the table of the Lord. It preaches the real Gospel—Christ and Him crucified. It preaches the finished work. It preaches the endless life. It preaches the open way into the Holiest of All. It calls every soul to draw near. It calls every church to open the doors. It calls every believer to cease from striving and rest in the finished work of the Priest-King.
The Contrast: The Olive Tree and the Wicked
Psalm 52 powerfully contrasts the man who trusts in his own strength and deceit with the one who trusts in God’s unfailing love and flourishes in His house. The Psalm speaks of the wicked man who boasts of evil, whose tongue plots destruction, who loves evil rather than good, and who trusts in his great wealth and grows strong by destroying others.
This is the image of the one who trusts in his own strength, his own position, his own power. The Psalm declares that God will bring him down to everlasting ruin, snatch him up, tear him from his tent, and uproot him from the land of the living.
But the righteous is like an olive tree flourishing in the house of God, trusting in God’s unfailing love forever and ever. The righteous praises God forever and hopes in His name.
This is the image of the true believer—the one who trusts in the finished work of the Priest-King, who abides in the Holiest of All, who is sustained by the unfailing love of God through Jesus Christ who ever lives to make intercession.
The true believer does not boast in evil or trust in human schemes, false popular moral sounding social constructs or political power. The true believer trusts in the finished work of the Priest-King Yeshua Emet Melchizedek Salem—Christ Jesus—and abides in Him who has opened the way.
The Final Exhortation
The modern church stands at a critical hour. Many have turned the table of the Lord into a place where food offered to idols is served. The Social Gospel, with its political causes, cultural trends, and false moral appearances, has become the dominant offering.
It sounds compassionate to the natural ear, but it sacrifices the true Gospel on the altar of this world. It offers earthly reform where the Priest-King offers heavenly reconciliation. It speaks of systems and power where He speaks of the cross and the throne of grace.
We must not eat of any spiritual food that has been offered in sacrifice to an idol. The table of the Lord is holy. The food we receive must come from the Priest-King Himself—pure, undefiled, and flowing from the Holiest of All.
Those who preach the substitute gospel have turned the church into a platform for their political agendas. They have exchanged the Gospel of the finished work for a gospel of social reform. They have exchanged the cross for a political platform. They have exchanged the throne of grace for a seat of power.
They have exchanged the rest that remains for the restless striving of the world. They have exchanged the Holiest of All for the outer courts of carnal religion. They are not shepherds of the flock; they are servants of the spirit of the age, offering food that cannot satisfy the soul.
The true church of the real Gospel is often small, overlooked, and ridiculed. But it knows the voice of the Shepherd. It does not follow the stranger. It abides in the Word. It dwells in the Holiest. The true church does not eat food sacrificed to idols. It does not bow to the false gods of the age.
It does not compromise the table of the Lord. It preaches the real Gospel—Christ and Him crucified. It preaches the finished work.
It preaches the endless life. It preaches the open way into the Holiest of All. It calls every soul to draw near. It calls every church to open the doors. It calls every believer to cease from striving and rest in the finished work of the Priest-King.

The white cow’s belly glows orange with henna, a mark of devotion or celebration. This storm-lit forest scene blends divine play with earthly care—Krishna’s power hidden in the villagers’ gestures.
Why does the artist render the cow’s henna so vividly against the muted greens?

Maundy Thursday Shadow Sketches
As part of a Service of Shadows for Maundy Thursday April 2, 2026, these sketches were drawn as each “shadow” of Christ’s final hours were read. I had a general idea before hand but for the most part each came together more or less spontaneously during the reading. I used a large flip chart in front of the congregation. As each candle was blown out, I flipped to a new page and once the reading began, started a new sketch. We then created a kind of gallery of the finished shadow sketches in the church.
View all of the “shadow sketches” at https://www.deviantart.com/peacegroover/gallery/100765113/service-of-shadows-maundy-thursday-2026

A Community of Souls in Motion
Art Arising Out of Sacred Silence
This piece came about during a recent retreat, in a time of silence before we each shared our faith pilgrimages. In that quiet space, before there were words, there was simply the page, the pen, the stillness, and the inward movement of thought and spirit. As I sat there, these forms began to emerge almost instinctively: spirals, spiral-like enclosures, shapes within shapes, all set against a dark ground.
#Art #Faith #Journey #Joy #reflection #Retreat #sacredArt #silence #witness
Looking back, that feels fitting. A retreat often gives us space to notice what is already moving within us beneath the surface. Before any of us spoke aloud about our journeys, this drawing was already expressing something about them. The spirals suggest movement, journey, returning, deepening, an unfolding. They feel like faith pilgrimage itself, which is rarely a straight line. It circles back. It revisits old places at a deeper level. It narrows and widens. It sometimes feels as though we are going inward when we thought we were going forward.
The piece was drawn in the context of community, yet also in a deeply personal moment of reflection. We were preparing to share our stories, and so the drawing seems to have become a visual meditation on that experience. The large central spiral can be seen as the deep center of the self, the soul, or God’s presence at the core, while the surrounding spirals evoke companion journeys, distinct yet sharing a common visual language. In that sense, the piece arose not only from silence but from the shared anticipation of hearing the faith journeys of others.
The dark spaces matter too. Because the forms remain light against a dark background, the image carries the sense of journeys being traced out of mystery, uncertainty, grief, hiddenness, or unknowing. That also belongs to retreat and to pilgrimage. Silence does not erase darkness, but it can help us notice contour, grace, and heldness within it.
So the piece came about very simply: in silence, at retreat, before testimony. But perhaps it also came about more deeply as a response to that holy threshold where inward life begins to take shape before it can yet be spoken. It was something like prayer through pattern, reflection through line, a quiet rendering of a community of souls in motion. -

The white cow’s belly glows orange with henna, a mark of devotion or celebration. Figures cluster beneath a storm-dark sky, their gestures urgent yet reverent—protection offered to a god who needs none.
Why does the artist render the cow’s adornment with such care, while Krishna’s divine strength remains unseen?

Visio divina is a prayer practice that uses sacred art 🙏
Instead of reading Scripture, you look slowly at an image and listen for God’s voice. Light, color, and expression can awaken reflection and stir the heart.
With stillness and openness, beauty becomes a path to faith. Visio divina helps us see beyond the surface and enter into deeper prayer ✝️
