There are wolves in sheep’s clothing. When seeking a Christian lawyer or other professional or service, one needs to perform his or her due diligence to verify that: (1) The person or business is truly a Christian; and (2) That they have the knowledge, experience, and skill to handle the matter. If the service provider is truly a Christian, and advertises as such, he or she should be happy to answer such inquiries. Be especially cautious when a secular organization seeks to refer you to a “Christian” lawyer, profession or service.

I get very frustrated when I see this happening. I hope it’s mostly a righteous anger, but it burns me up. But I think we know that God will reward those who have been faithful, and those who have abused His name and His Son in an effort to rip off His children will be guilty of a greater condemnation. I just try to honor Him in what I do and trust He’ll take care of the charlatans. Thanks for sharing your thoughts on this, Craig!

@JoeTaxpayer – thanks for sharing. This certainly does impact people from various backgrounds. I love the term ‘affinity fraud’.

Indeed. For nearly a year I actively fought a mortgage scam called “Money Merge Account.” One of the issues I fought was the fact that the sellers were instructed to sell it through their church contacts. The tie-in to religion was so strong, some people were claiming the founders of the program were “divinely inspired.” Accusing me of going to war with the Lord. Affinity fraud is something all people need to be aware of.
It’s not just impacting Christians. Madoff, the largest Ponzi schemer of all time is Jewish, and scammed his own people as well. Not just Doctors and Lawyers, but Jewish charities as well. Too bad.
