Even If i Walk Alone

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

Genesis

The Gospel of Jesus Christ

by

We live in a world of death. Wars, tornadoes, tsunamis, disease, crime–every day we read about another life taken from this world. It’s tragic. But what is even more tragic is the realization that the vast majority of those lives have not only lost their physical bodies but have died a second death as well. If they didn’t know Christ, and statistics say they didn’t, then they are now banished from His presence forever.

There’s no second chance. There’s no tomorrow. All there is now is an eternity without God spent in the nonstop torment of Hell (Revelation 20:14-15). Every death should devastate the hearts of we who know Christ. We know the better way. Yet we let almost every day go by without telling someone the wonderful truth of the gospel of Jesus Christ.

Read the Book

by

I’ve written nearly a million words (true story!) since this blog began back in 2010. Today, as I sat down to write the next instalment, it occurred to me that for all that writing, the only value I can add to anyone is pointing to what is written in the Word of God. No matter how clever the phrase or profound the thought, it is utterly meaningless because all truth is found in the Word of God (John 17:17).

There is no wisdom apart from knowing Christ (Job 28:28; Colossians 2:3). Nothing I write will ever save your soul. Only the power of God’s Word can do that (Romans 1:16). So, as much as I genuinely appreciate you reading my work, if it’s a choice between reading this and spending some time in God’s Word, then I implore you to put this down and pick up your Bible.

Last Days

by

Are we living in the last days? Judging by the number of videos and articles I see online, you’d have to conclude we must be. Certainly, the days are evil, darker, and more violent than most of us have ever seen in our lifetime. From a Biblical prophecy standpoint, there is nothing else foretold that is yet to be fulfilled. Indeed, much of what is happening in the geopolitical landscape seems to be aligning itself with prophecy.

But generations before ours have thought the same thing. Even the apostles thought Jesus would return during their lifetime (1 Thessalonians 4:15-17). Whether or not we are living in the last days, our mission remains the same. We are to be using the gifts God has given us to reach others with the Gospel of Christ.

You Are Enough

by

There is an electronic billboard near me that frequently displays the simple message, “You Are Enough!” I suppose it’s a nice sentiment, meant to be encouraging to the morning masses driving by, but the lie it purports is both deceiving and damning. You are not enough. Neither am I. There is nothing any of us can ever do to be close to being enough.

If any of us were enough, Jesus would not have had to die on our behalf. The truth is, every human being is woefully inadequate. All have sinned and fall short of God’s glory (Romans 3:23). If there is to be any hope for us, we must spend the rest of our days getting rid of all sense of self-sufficiency and surrendering to the surpassing sufficiency of our perfect God and King.

The Birth of Christ

by

In the history of man, through all the rush and bustle, there was one day when all of Heaven held their collective spiritual breath. That was the day Jesus came to dwell among His creation in human form. The birth of Jesus was not His first visit to the earth that He spoke into existence, but it was the first time He came as one of us.

While remaining fully God, He at the same time became fully man, so He could become the sacrifice we so desperately need. The birth of Christ was a brief respite from the normal goings-on of the world. From that moment, nothing would ever be the same again.
