Even If i Walk Alone

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

Hell

Who Do You Say He Is?

July 7, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

When Jesus walked the earth as a man, almost all the people of His day had an opinion about who He was. Rumors swirled about a man who was becoming both more popular and controversial. Two sides formed, one believing He was from God and the other from the pits of Hell (John 7:12; Matthew 9:34). Within the two camps were many more divisions.

King Herod believed Jesus was John the Baptist back from the dead. He fell into the camp of those who believed Jesus was a man of God, but stopped well short of believing Jesus was the Messiah. At least Herod had an answer when anyone asked about Jesus, “Who do you say He is?” But to his eternal damnation, his answer fell short.

Do You Care?

June 26, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

We seem indifferent to the death of strangers, and to a degree, even to those we may know. It’s one thing if that person is a believer, in which case we should celebrate. I’m more concerned with those who die without Christ. Do you care that every time one of them dies that they will spend eternity in a very real Hell (Revelation 20:15)? Do you feel the weight of this when they die?

If you are like me, it’s easy to become numbed to the deaths of so many. But this should never be the case. Our mission is to go into the harvest and warn as many as we can about the coming judgment and their eternal fate (Matthew 28:19–20; Matthew 9:37-38).

Get Ready

March 10, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

Jesus is coming back and we better get ready. Scripture makes it clear that His coming will be unexpected (Matthew 24:36). It’s going to shock everyone because we aren’t living our lives in eager anticipation of His return (1 Thessalonians 5:2-6). Since you got out of bed this morning, how many times have you thought about the fact that this could be it? You might see Jesus in the very next minute!

Most days, we would have to answer that we have given little thought to it at all. Sure, on an intellectual level we recognize the possibility He could come back today, but that’s a far cry from eagerly anticipating it (Philippians 3:19-21)! Why are we not more excited about the coming of our salvation? Is it because we’ve become enamored with this world?

Be Transformed

February 13, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

There are many verses and phrases in the Bible that we read, but never take the time to consider what they mean. One example would be Romans 12:2, where Paul exhorts us to not be conformed to this age but to be transformed. I know we don’t understand this verse because simple observation reveals most Christians are living lives of conformity to the world rather than demonstrating any kind of transformation.

To be a follower of Jesus demands we abandon the way things used to be and embrace the superior way of the Father (Ephesians 4:22-24; Colossians 3:9-10). Transformation is not a one-time decision; it is a lifelong change of direction that requires a 180-degree turn in every area of our lives (Luke 9:23; 2 Corinthians 5:17). We turn from our desires and towards God’s holy plan.

Without Excuse

January 27, 2025 by Tim Sherfy

When it comes to recognizing Jesus as Lord, all people are without excuse. There will be a day when each of us will face the Judge of the Universe, and none of our objections will be worth anything. No one will be able to say they were never aware of the truth about God (Romans 1:18-20). None of us will receive a stay of execution or a little more time to think things through (Hebrews 9:27-28).

All at once, every excuse we ever gave for rejecting Christ will be both meaningless and damning. The bold and the meek will face the same fate. The strong and the weak will bear the same weight. There is no favoritism with God (Acts 10:34-35; Romans 2:11), and each of us will give the reason we did or did not bow to Jesus as King (Romans 14:11-12; Philippians 2:9-11).
