Whole World

November 7, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

Life is a little crazy these days. Hatred and division are everywhere you look. It’s easy to lose a little hope, and perspective is hard to keep. Trusted voices have turned out to be frauds and storied industries and franchises are falling by the wayside. The church is seeing the results of too many years of allowing the foxes to roam the henhouse. How can we stop the madness and get things back to some state of normalcy?

In times like these, we must remember God is still in control. That’s not some cliché statement left over from an old Sunday School lesson. Psalm 24:1-2 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.” He has the whole world in His hands.

The Problem of Evil

June 1, 2020 by Tim Sherfy

My heart broke this past week when the lead singer of a popular Christian band renounced his faith in Jesus in a very public way. What broke my heart was not the damage this might do to the faith of those over whom he has influence, although that is troublesome. It didn’t break my heart the way the media latched onto the story and the damage something like this inflicts on the Church, although this too is cause for prayer.

The Church will survive. The gates of Hell will not prevail against us, no matter how unexpected the attack (Matthew 16:18). What broke my heart were the reasons this individual gave for no longer believing.  There are straightforward answers to his questions, and yet somehow, no one in this man’s life could counsel him with the truth.

When Tragedy Strikes

August 19, 2019 by Tim Sherfy

When tragedy strikes our lives, it can be difficult to see past the pain. We know God is still there and our hearts are still towards Him.  Still, our day to day activities can become daunting and our vision blurs.  All we can see is the pain immediately before us. In these times the best we can do is to stay focused on Jesus. He is the One who calms the storms (Matthew 8:23-27). Only He is going to be able to pull you through safely to the other side.

The world will offer its temptations, its own versions of comfort and false solutions, but we know better. Jesus has brought us this far, and He will see us through.  God is God when the times are good, and He is still God when the going gets rough. His love for you does not change.
