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?”

In God’s Image

August 25, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

Do you ever marvel at the fact God created each of us in His very image? From the moment we are conceived, we bear the imprint of the Almighty God. Every individual has eternal worth and the potential for eternal glory. From the very beginning of God’s Word, we see God created us in His image (Genesis 1:27). It kind of makes self-esteem issues illogical, doesn’t it?

You are created in God’s image. There are no exceptions. Whether you are male or female, regardless of the shade of your skin or the shape of your body, you are created in the image of God. As His image-bearers, our chief end then is to love and glorify God. It is the reason we exist.

Honor Belongs to God

October 20, 2016 by Tim Sherfy

John 5:44 reads “How can you believe? While accepting glory from one another, you don’t seek the glory that comes from the only God.” Commenting on this verse, A.W. Tozer said, “If I understand this correctly, Christ taught here the alarming doctrine that the desire for honor among men made belief impossible.” Certainly there are a few ways one could read this verse, but Tozer presents an interpretation which is at best sobering and at worst terrifying.

We spend much of our lives seeking and accepting honor from others. In our Western culture, life is all about moving up and getting ahead. Even a casual look at our Facebook and Instagram feeds proves people are consumed with presenting their best and brightest moments while seeking validation from others.
