Even If i Walk Alone

Instructing and encouraging you to live your life as a disciple of Jesus

Bible

Revelation

by

Rarely does a day go by where I don’t come across some so-called prophet proclaiming a fresh word or vision from God. It’s always something new, and never something from scripture. Brothers and sisters, we don’t need something fresh or new. We have the eternal Word of God revealed in the pages of scripture and manifested in our lives by the Holy Spirit. God’s Word is complete and sufficient. It does not need an update.

If you are looking for something fresh, you are looking for something other than Jesus. His Word is eternal. It does not change. It is not evolving. What God has said, He will do. If you want some divine revelation, then open your Bible and read. Revelation is found between the covers of God’s Word, not on some random YouTube channel.

Standing Firm on the Word

by

A cashier shared with me she had lost her husband last year. She told me when he was about to breathe his last breath, he asked her to put his Bible under his feet. In her grief, she didn’t immediately comprehend the meaning of the request. The man’s brother cleared it up for her. He explained his brother wanted to die standing firm on the Word of God.

I thought it was a beautiful picture and a sign of a life well lived. To never waver or compromise the truth of God’s Word is the calling of every follower of Jesus. Not only should we stand firm in times of trouble, but we must stand firm when things are easy and going our way. Never forget or take for granted the reason for our hope.

Compromise

by

Modern Christianity has lost the thread. Once we marveled at the Savior who died for us, but now His death is just a trendy symbol we wear on our clothing and around our necks. We once revered the Bible as the fully sufficient, inerrant, and complete revelation of God, but now we yearn for the teaching of ungodly men who refute even the plainest teachings of God’s Word. What happened?

For decades, we have compromised the clear and authoritative laws of God to make our churches more palatable for sinners, more comfortable for saints, and more profitable for preachers. Little by little, inch by inch, we let the world slip in between the cracks of our doubt and unbelief. What remains are pathetic and powerless churches ineffective in carrying out the Great Commission.

A Biblical Worldview in Crisis

by

A recent survey conducted by the Cultural Research Center at Arizona Christian University found only 37% of pastors in America have a biblical worldview. Let that sink in for a moment. If you wonder why the world seems to be in the death spiral that it is, we need to look no further for an answer. Looking at the converse answer, 63% of pastors in America do not see the Bible as the inerrant and infallible Word of God. How else can you reconcile the fact only 37% of pastors consider the world around them through the lens of Biblical authority?

To have a biblical worldview is to hold to the truth of the authority of God’s Word over any standards or opinions of man. If pastors won’t teach their congregations how to respond biblically to the world around them, how will those congregants understand how to live godly lives?

Sound Doctrine

by

Sound doctrine is hard to come by these days. The largest churches and loudest voices are espousing a different gospel than the only true gospel found in the scriptures. A “new revelation” is the frequent and heretical term often used to excuse false teaching or make God’s Word more palatable for the masses. Remember, the masses will never accept Jesus.

It was the masses who rejected Him in His time on earth, and they continue to reject Him today. Jesus said, “How narrow is the gate and difficult the road that leads to life, and few find it” (Matthew 7:13-14). While Christ wills for all to be saved (2 Peter 3:9), the reality is that relatively few will accept His offer of salvation.
