Our God Is Awesome

April 3, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

Do you ever have those moments when it occurs to you how much of an idiot you are? I’m hoping there are some nodding heads out there and I’m not alone in feeling this way. There are those moments of clarity when I’m reminded of who God is, how glorious and majestic He is, and how small I am. I understand God created us in His image (Genesis 1:27), so this is not about diminishing who we are in the eyes of our Maker.

What I mean is we don’t spend enough time contemplating the sheer awesomeness of the God we serve (Psalm 145:3). If the point of our lives is not to know, glorify, and to be known by our Heavenly Father, then there is no point to any of this (John 17:3). Our God is awesome, beyond all words or comprehension (Isaiah 40:28).

Who Do You Think You Are?

November 4, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

Who do you think you are? That’s not a recommended conversation starter, but I think it’s a question we should often ask ourselves and others. In a world where everyone wants to create God in their image or deny He exists at all, I think it’s a fair question. Once upon a time, there was a man named Job who suffered almost every loss and calamity imaginable.

Being a God-fearing man, he couldn’t make sense of the logic of it all. He was confident if he could present his case to God, that the Lord would relent and exonerate him from all his sufferings (Job 13:3; Job 23:3-5). God’s response was to ask Job the question we are contemplating today: “Who do you think you are?”

Glorify God

April 25, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

No matter what season you find yourself in life, your objective is to glorify God. It’s why we are here. Nothing else matters aside from bringing glory to God. No amount of depression, heartache, tragedy, or hardship changes this equation. Nothing excuses us from doing what God created us to do. From birth, the highest calling of our life is to glorify God. It’s a simple fact almost everyone ignores.

We want to live for ourselves, which is a nice way of saying we want to glorify ourselves. Do you know who else decided that was the way to live? Satan! When we glorify anyone or anything other than Christ, we are agreeing with Satan that his way is better. That’s uncomfortable and blunt, but it is the truth.

Long Way from Eden

September 1, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

As we look around our world today, it’s hard to remember that when God finished creating everything in the heavens and on earth, He called it very good (Genesis 1:31). We’re a long way from Eden and the paradise the Lord created. Often, Evil and ugliness hide the wonder and beauty of our world. This isn’t how things are supposed to be.

The Lord created a beautiful world full of beautiful landscapes and amazing creatures. God created everything to reflect His glory and to cause us to glorify Him. Now the world is dying, groaning for a return to its original beauty, desperate to return to the state of being “very good” (Romans 8:22).

Everyday Miracles

December 30, 2019 by Tim Sherfy

We all ask for miracles in our lives but fail to recognize them when they occur. It’s easier to find a logical explanation than believe God showed up in an amazing way. Fascinating. We pray for a miracle, get one, but can’t bring ourselves to believe it’s true. We’ll credit modern medicine, a lucky break, a friend, or the kindness of a stranger; but God? That seems kind of far-fetched.

My question is if we don’t believe in miracles, why do we ask for them in the first place? We fail to recognize the everyday miracles occurring all around us. Because we aren’t looking for God’s glory and mystery, we don’t see it. So, we have miracles we ask for and God grants, and we have the everyday miracles surrounding us. But we are blind to them all.
