The Bondage of Little Things

December 27, 2021 by Tim Sherfy

A. W. Tozer once prayed, “Save and deliver us, we pray Thee, from the bondage of little things.” What a wise prayer. It is often not the big things that keep us from God, but the thousand little things. In the same prayer, Pastor Tozer confessed we can break one, two, even ten of the little habits and comforts keeping us from surrendering to the Lordship of Christ,

commitment,devotion,discipleship,idolatry, prayer,priorities,surrender

but we are powerless to break the thousand little things that twist together and bind us. When we let little things that are not of God accumulate in our life, we find they become strong chains restricting us and keeping us from complete surrender to our King.

Blind Spots

February 8, 2021 by Tim Sherfy

It’s easy to point fingers at the failures of others while ignoring our shortcomings. Jesus warned against this tendency by advising us to remove the log from our eye before commenting on the speck in the eye of our brother (Matthew 7:4-5). Sometimes, as we are refining our walk with Christ, we become blind to our less developed disciplines. It is common for us all to gravitate to certain portions of Scripture that resonate the most with us.

blind spots,God's Kingdom,greed,idolatry,Ephesians 4,unity,Matthew 12:30,whoever isn't for me is against me,Ephesians 5:1-5,no coarse or crude joking,Kingdom of God,Matthew 7:4-5,remove the plank in your eye

Too often though, we do so to the detriment of studying other parts and we develop blind spots. It’s a good practice to read some passages with which you don’t frequently engage to see what you might be missing and identify any blind spots you may have. I don’t get through many mornings reading Scripture without being convicted of something.
