Finding God’s Will

February 14, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

god's will for my life,what is God's will,knowing God's will,God's will

Many Christians are consumed with a desire to find God’s will for their lives. They spend their time reading books, taking assessment tests, and attending seminars that all promise to reveal these secrets to them. It seems everyone wants clear guidance on what God’s will is for their lives, yet so many are frustrated because they can never quite seem to find it. Jim Rohn used to say that anything we pursue will eludes us. Finding God’s will is not something we pursue; it is something we become as we surrender our lives to Him.

Number Your Days

February 11, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

time is short,time is fleeting,time management,make time for God

Psalm 90:12 instructs us to number our days. When we understand that our time on this planet is limited, we can begin to live with a greater sense of urgency and purpose. All of us realize that we will die someday, but few of us live like we believe it. We spend our days engaged in trivial pursuits and sleepwalking through our nights as if there will always be another. Many have resigned themselves to the mediocrity of conformity and accept the notion that as long as they are comfortable and able to “get by”, then life is good and they are doing enough. This isn’t the “abundant” life promised by Jesus, so why are we so willing to settle for it?

It’s All about Love

February 7, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

Love,love does,God is love,love one another,love your neighbor,what is love,love wins

Everything we do for Christ, every one of His commands, comes back to a single word: love. Whether it’s seeking to bring justice to the oppressed or set victims of human trafficking free (Isaiah 58:6), we do this out of love. When we feed the hungry or provide clean water to villages that previously had no access to it (Matthew 25:35), we demonstrate God’s love. Using our time and resources to care for the single mothers or homeless people (James 1:27) demonstrates our love for them. Love is the key to every ill of our society. It is the salve for every wound and conflict. Love is the only answer, and it looks exactly like Jesus.

Break My Heart

February 4, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

World Vision,The Hole in Our Gospel,Bob Pierce,break my heart with what breaks yours,hosanna,Hillsong United

In the past few years there has been a lot of attention given to the quote by World Vision’s founder, Bob Pierce, who said, “Let my heart be broken by the things that break the heart of God.” The popular worship band, Hillsong United, included that now famous line in their song, “Hosanna”. Christian bloggers around the world, including myself, have written posts around this phrase. It is at once both beautiful and powerful. In the last year or so, I am hearing and reading this quote repeated more and more. Yet as I look around the world, I am seeing changes for the worse and not better. Is this just the latest catch phrase (think, “WWJD – What Would Jesus Do”) or do we honestly yearn for God to break our hearts?

What’s On Your Mind?

January 31, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

think on these things,you are what you think about,ppurity,think positive,thought life

There’s a wise adage that says, “What has your attention has you”. So the question is really obvious; what has your attention today? If our focus is anywhere other than on Jesus Christ, we are captured by something other than Him. Satan is a master of distraction. Since the dawn of time he has been parading a feast of temptation before our eyes (Genesis 3:1-6). He doesn’t care if you ever go his way; he’s content to just keep your eyes off of Jesus. We make it too easy for him.
