A CHRISTIAN WITH AN IDENTITY CRISIS © Drock
Your friend keeps urging you to drink, party, visit questionable places, and engage in things that are clearly unbiblical—not because they're stronger, but because you haven’t introduced them to Jesus and you haven't defined who you are clearly.
This is simply nothing but identity crisis.
Many Christians today find it hard to say "No" to such requests. Why? Because they value their friendships more than their convictions. And guess what? Their friends know this. They see them as weak believers—harmless, passive, non-threatening.
We often say we’re trying to "respect boundaries" or "give them space" when we avoid sharing the gospel or calling out sin. But have you noticed something? These same friends don’t hesitate to cross your boundaries. They mock your faith. They schedule events on days of worship. They pressure you into compromising, yet you stay silent… for the sake of peace.
Now tell me—who's being wise here?
In our effort not to offend, we’ve become the ones constantly losing ground. That’s the tragedy. The world doesn’t respect your convictions, but you bend over backward to respect theirs. And in doing so, you become the confused one.
They’ve made their choice.
They’re not ashamed of it.
But you haven’t made yours.
You're the one with the identity crisis.
A Christian who cannot say “No,” who cannot walk away from friendships that glorify sin, must ask: Am I truly living for Christ?
Your friends must be afraid of inviting you to do questionable things with them if truly they see your devotion and commitment to godliness.
Let’s be honest—many of us are sometimes stuck in this place. We are neither here not there.
But It’s time to draw the line.
Take a stand. Let your position be known before others define it for you—whether it’s your friends, family, coworkers, or neighbors.
Don't be afraid to lose someone who isn't afraid to respect your beliefs.
If you’re not firm in your faith, you’ll fall for anything. And you'll be the lover not them.
Let your light shine so brightly that darkness has no room to breathe around you.
Peace be unto us, now and always. ✝️
