Even If i Walk Alone

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

Faith

Be Encouraged

by

This world will try to break you. Satan is using everything in his power to cripple you and bring you to your knees. But be encouraged! Jesus has overcome the enemy, and the Spirit of the living God resides in you. There is nothing this world or any of the evil in it can do to stop the mission of Jesus from being fulfilled, and you have a vital role to play.

The last command given to us by our Lord was to go and tell everyone about Him (Matthew 28:18-20). At that moment, He commissioned everyone who would believe in Him to be missionaries of His gospel. You don’t have to travel around the world to fulfill this mission. You can be a missionary in your workplace, neighborhood, and even your grocery store.

Stop Apologizing for Speaking the Truth

by

A popular Christian singer has come under fire for a satirical song he wrote. While the song was amusing, like all good satire, it featured elements of truth. Most notably, the truth it contained was straight from God’s Word. It was basically a song from a father encouraging his daughters to dress modestly. It was sweet and funny, and amazingly controversial.

When several people began calling his song offensive, the singer took it down and apologized. Besides leaving me scratching my head, I couldn’t help but wonder when Christians will stop apologizing for speaking the truth.

What Is the Point?

by

While reading Christopher J. H. Wright’s fascinating book, “Knowing Jesus Through the Old Testament”, I became transfixed by something he wrote: “A destination is not just the end of a journey; it is also the point of a journey.” I can’t wait to meet Jesus face to face. It’s when all the frustrations, heartaches, and pain will find their purpose. Living for Jesus is a grand adventure. It is the highest privilege and greatest honor of life. It is a most remarkable journey.

Following Jesus isn’t easy. It can cost you your life, and it will cost you something along the way. But this is what makes it so exciting. We don’t know what is around the next corner. But we know Jesus will go with us. Jesus calls us to walk the narrow path to find Him (Matthew 7:13-14). This isn’t the easy, well-traveled way of the world. That road is predictable. No, we travel a path of great danger and uncertainty. The only thing we know for sure is where the path leads, and that is to Jesus Himself.

God’s Timeless Word

by

You cannot help but notice the drifting away from Biblical principles being manifested in the Western Church today. Decades of compromise are resulting in a Church that has little if any resemblance to the early Church we see in the book of Acts. The Church has never been perfect. Only Jesus, the head of the Church, has that distinction. But His holiness beckons each of His followers to strive towards His example.

He has given His Word to guide us in our pursuit of Him. The Word of God changes no more than the One who spoke those words and inspired men to write His message throughout the years. Culture changes. Circumstances ebb and flow. But God and His Word are timeless. We must never make the mistake of considering His Word to be out of touch with our modern lives.

Live for Christ

by

Life is hard for Christians everywhere. This should come as no surprise, as Jesus told us we would have trouble in this world (John 16:33). In many countries, following Jesus will lead to imprisonment, torture, and death. In other countries, Christians are denied jobs, housing, and access to village resources like water. The physical and emotional consequences of professing faith in Christ are extreme. Yet, believers in these countries hold fast to Jesus.

They disregard the risks for the sake of the prize. Knowing and serving Jesus is worth more than anything to them. In America, our faith rarely causes us any threat to our physical well-being. The emotional consequences of professing your faith are minimal and even laughable compared to what so many are facing. And yet most Christians in America lack the devotion and fervor in their faith of those who suffer so much. Why is that?
