9 But he said to me, “My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.” Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

This verse brings up a point I’ve been making a lot lately when discussing Christianity with others.  Mainly that to be a good Christian, many believe they need to have lots of problems and be weak.  This somehow makes people feel that they have something for God to fix, and that by having problems, they are being tested.  Imagine the power you have over people if you are able to convince them they must be weak.

As I tweeted earlier this week… if you want to find people with lots of problems, look no further than your local church.
