Christian Depression as Man destroys Ten Commandments plaque

Christian depression is real, there are many who love God but who are going through the emotional battle of their life. The sad fact of the matter is that those who are suffering emotionally are not always getting the help that they need, a lack of real pastoral support and of godly men in the pulpit are making things worst. In a very bizarre story which happened last week, a man who professes to be a Christian, literally drove his car into a Ten Commandments monument and destroyed it.

 

 

Depression and Christianity

 

There are many people who try to follow after God but are going through severe difficulties, it is at these times when the prevalence of TV ministers are of no help. There has been a proliferation of TV preachers and ministers who beam their messages into the homes of millions of people; yet these men are mainly actors. Often believers are mislead by a television ministry which is real focused on receiving money donations, TV ministers can never provide the spiritual support that believers truly need. Sadly, the majority in the United States are getting their spiritual messages from Christian Television which is really a money making enterprise using the name of Christ to promote their shows.

 

We don’t know all the reasons behind the man’s bizarre behavior, driving a car into the biblical monument is a clear sign of a person dissatisfied (from a religious perspective) with religion.   Official in Oklahoma say the man suffers from mental health issues.

 

The mother of the man was interviewed for local news, she says that her son had a work related accident which led him down a road of “breakdowns”

 

 “The one thing that is foremost in his mind, his religion, is the thing he takes it out on. A statue of the 10 Commandments would be something that would attract him. Anyone who knows Michael, knows he loves his God. Right now, everyone is praying for him.”

 

Despite the fact that this man is mentally ill does not take away the fact that the story highlights a very important fact, many believe the message of God but are still hurting. The American churches have missed the mark, the good time money making gospel which is pimped into the homes of millions of people is not the original message of Jesus. People who are suffering or who are depressed are often shunned by the churches, the ministers don’t like to deal with these problems.

 

 

While there are good ministers the sad fact of the matter is that Christian depression is not being addressed, the people in the pulpit today are not able to give the support that so many people truly need.  Unfortunately, anyone can be the minister today and this is why the flock is not being fed.  

 

The mother of the emotionally disturbed man admitted she had no clues her son was in trouble, sadly, this is a familiar situation today

Some many are lost in a sad American Christianity.
