What Have We Lost?

December 19, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

As I survey the landscape of the modern church and Christianity at large, I find myself asking, “What have we lost?” I grew up in the church and in a Christian family with Christian parents who continue to love the Lord even in their later years today. My father is a pastor, and church attendance was never an option for me growing up.

These days, I eagerly look forward to driving to my local church each week. Church has changed a lot from when I was a young boy, and I have eagerly embraced many of those changes. But as I survey where the church is today, it is obvious we have lost a great deal along the way.

Tell Everyone

November 28, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

Does the fact so many don’t know Jesus break your heart? Every morning when I pray, I bring an ever-growing list of names before the Lord. So many of my family and friends do not know Jesus as their Savior. The older I get, the more devastating this becomes. The number of people I know who don’t know Jesus convicts me that I’m not doing enough.

What is it about my life that is not compelling enough for them to want Jesus? I know it is the work of the Holy Spirit to convict a person, and I should not take this all on myself. Yet the command of our Lord to go and tell everyone about Him looms large in my conscience as I feel the weight of my responsibility.

All We Need

October 17, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

Jesus is all we need. If we have Jesus, nothing else matters. Everything we work for in this life is going to go away. Nothing lasts except the eternal grace and love of Christ. The moment we try to find peace, joy, and rest anywhere other than Jesus is the moment we will become frustrated and angry.

The world can and does offer a plethora of attractive options in which we can imbibe, but only Jesus satisfies. If you have Jesus, everything you need and desire is already within you. It’s time we stopped looking outside to find contentment and begin focusing on the Savior within our hearts.

I Need Jesus

October 3, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

There’s not a day that goes by without the realization that I need Jesus. The older I get, the more obvious it becomes. How anyone gets through life without Christ is a mystery to me. Where is their source of hope? What is their anchor in the storms of life? I cannot comprehend how anyone deals with the tragedies and disappointments of life without Jesus.

If you know Jesus, I’m certain you find this to be true in your life as well. There simply is no life without Christ. No matter how good you think your life is, it can never be as good as the worst day with Jesus in your life. The reason is the love of Jesus is everlasting. It will never fade like all the pleasures in this world do.

Live to Glorify God

September 8, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

How do we live to glorify God? Preachers, Bible teachers, and authors continually tell us our lives should glorify God. But how do we do that? I think anyone who has a sincere love for Christ desires to glorify Him. We want to make Him known to the world. Still, “glorifying” Him seems elusive. It’s a strange word, and one rarely used in common conversation.

To glorify God is a high calling. The Westminster Shorter Catechism states, “Man’s chief end is to glorify God, and to enjoy him forever.” Bringing glory to God must be the primary focus of our lives. God created us to glorify Him. To do anything less with our lives is to live outside of God’s Will.
