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

Generalities

Christians love to speak in generalities.  As long as we don’t get too specific, we can all just get along. As long as we don’t get too specific, we can live just like everyone else. Did you ever notice how Jesus only dealt in specifics? It was as if He didn’t even recognize gray as a color! Jesus never left any wiggle room; it was always black or white. As followers of Jesus, our own lives should be identified by the specific things we do, not by some general sense of what we believe. A general knowledge of anything yields little; specific action is how results are delivered.

Your Life Script

Whose life are you living? Are you engaged in the things that allow you to utilize the gifts God has given to you? Do you seek to glorify Him even when it means looking foolish in the eyes of your family and friends? Too few of us live like this. Instead we live out our days blending in with the culture while looking for any opening we can find to get ahead. Rather than living as God planned for us to live, we cave to the pressures of life and seek comfort in alternative solutions. As a result, we end up living from a script written by someone other than our Creator.

No More Excuses

November 25, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

As a life coach, it never ceases to amaze me how many excuses people come up with to explain why they aren’t doing what they know they should.  The truth is, until you are willing to change your life, your life will never change. There is an obvious correlation to our walk with Jesus. If we aren’t willing to sacrifice our accustomed comforts or are unwilling to give up our social standing, we’ll never experience the wonder of everything God has for us. Too many of us try and follow Christ while still keeping one foot firmly planted on the road of cultural normalcy.

Nothing to Fear

An old song has been stuck in my head over the last day, causing great conviction and peace all at once.  I often find myself in the throes of these dichotic emotions, so I’m quite comfortable living in such unusual tensions! The song that has been niggling in my brain is “Reckless Faith”, by Rick Cua. While the entire lyric is great, the piece that has lodged itself in my mind is “While others play it safe/ Give me reckless faith”.  I love that. What if we all had a healthy dose of reckless faith? What if we were totally unafraid and refused to play it safe?

Comfortable Faith

I recently heard Ken Davis make the statement that, “There is no such thing as a comfortable faith.” How many of us believe that, or at least live as if it were true? It reminds me of a question A.W. Tozer asked years ago, “Have the saints of God joined the mad scramble for security?” Modern day Christianity looks awfully comfortable, and it seems few are willing to run towards the battle. We want the benefits of Heaven without having to go through Hell to get them. This may resonate with our modern ears, but it’s not the life Jesus modeled for His disciples.
