The Stop Doing List

July 25, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

Jim Collins,Good to Great,stop doing list,Jesus is Lord,Lord of your life,Jesus first,God first

Business guru Jim Collins employs a technique I think is extremely useful for our spiritual life. Every year he creates a “Stop Doing” list. It all started when someone proposed the following to him: “Imagine someone gave you $20 million dollars, no strings attached, but later that day you found out you had an incurable disease and had only ten years to live; what would you stop doing?” I think it’s a valid question to ask in our daily lives, but has particular punch when viewed in light of our relationship with God.  Think about it; you have been given all power in Heaven and were told to spend your life devoted to the mission of Christ. With that in mind, what should you stop doing?

Refocus and Rebalance

Do you ever feel lost, depressed, and unsure of your next move? In Western culture our lives have become insanely busy leaving little to no margin and literally no room for rest. When we aren’t busy we tend to make ourselves busy doing something. Often we become so stressed out that our couch becomes a welcome retreat. Mindless channel and web surfing consumes the few uncommitted moments of our days. In the midst of all this one has to wonder where the victorious life is that was promised by Jesus.  Where is the peace, the joy, the rest, and the comfort?

Surviving Trials

July 8, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

Life is full of the unexpected. We plan our lives in one direction when out of the blue everything changes. We can’t control every circumstance around us. Our own lack of discipline leaves us open to failures we would have never imagined. Dreams die, hopes are dashed, and everything we once had figured out no longer makes sense. Such is the plight of practically every soul who has ever walked our planet. Somewhere along the line, despite our best intentions, our plans go awry. These are the moments that prove whether or not Christ is truly the Lord of our lives.

Choose God

In his latest book, “Gods at War”, Kyle Idleman makes a bold statement. He says, “What we are searching for and chasing after reveals the god that is winning the war in your heart.” As followers of Jesus we claim to worship Him alone as God.  The truth is we all battle with idolatry, just as every generation before us has done. Our idols may look different these days, but anything that we put before God is an idol. We have forgotten that God is fiercely jealous and refuses to share the throne of our hearts with anyone or anything else.

Burn Away

June 27, 2013 by Tim Sherfy

Meredith Andrews,Worth It All,Not for a moment,refiners fire,character,integrity,discipleship

There is a song on Meredith Andrews latest CD, “Worth It All“, titled “Burn Away”. The lyrics of the song express the desire to remove everything from our lives that is not of God.

Burn Away
Everything that breaks your heart
Everything that is not love
Purify my every thought
Take Away
Everything that comes between us
Everything that is untrue
Jesus make me more like You
Burn away

What an incredible prayer for our own lives. This is what true discipleship looks like. When we rid ourselves of all that is not of Christ, we will then brightly reflect His glory. [Read more…] about Burn Away
