They may berate their friends and relatives for rebelliousness against God. They will bible- bash and shame people into doing things their way. They may constantly demean and condemn those who don t measure up. Just like a substance-abuse addict they will blame everyone and everything else for their problems and rather than face them. The unhealthy faith becomes entrapped and enmeshed in an unhealthy involvement in church and church life.
Convictions become addictions and the pains of life are eased with excess activity.
Rather than becoming dependent on God the person is dependent upon work and the comfort the experience when they become too involved to have to cope with their problems. The peace they find is not the peace of God by the peace that comes from the numbness of avoidance. Worship and praising God is a wonderful experience. However those who have an unhealthy faith will use this to achieve emotional highs and these highs become the focus of the experience rather than God being the focus. Rather than bringing them closer to God this type of experience only serves to further alienate them from God because they can only feel good when they are having the emotional high and there is nothing in between.
