Even If i Walk Alone

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

Mark

Obedient to Christ

September 14, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

What if I told you there was one thing you could do that would make every choice and decision so obvious that you would never have to second-guess yourself? There is one habit you can cultivate that makes everything else in your life easier and less stressful. The best part is that you already know what it is and how to do it.

The key to always knowing what to do and living with less stress and more joy is to always be obedient to Christ. (John 15:10-11) When we live in the habit of obedience, we will always know what to do because it’s the thing that is consistent with Christ’s character and glorifies Him. (Romans 12:1-2; Ephesians 5:8-10) Things only get blurry when we put our desires before His desires for us.

Blood on Our Hands

August 31, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

Every day, tens of thousands of people die. By the most conservative estimates, over 100,000 people each day breathe their last and open their eyes in Hell. That crushes me, and it should decimate every soul who professes Jesus as Lord. It gets worse. I submit to you that for all those going to Hell, we have blood on our hands.

Paul says, “But how can they call on Him they have not believed in? And how can they believe without hearing about Him? And how can they hear without a preacher?” (Romans 10:14). We are those preachers of the Word because Jesus told us to proclaim the gospel to the whole world (Mark 16:15; Matthew 28:19-20). When we fail His commission, we cannot escape the fact that people are going to Hell on our watch.

So Simple

August 17, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

The way to eternal life is so simple. A teacher of the Law, hoping to trip Jesus up, asked Him what one needed to do to inherit eternal life. Jesus didn’t respond with an elegant, long-winded answer or a sophisticated process through which we can be saved. Rather, the Lord turned the question back on the scribe by asking the man what scripture said about his question.

The teacher answered, “To love the Lord with all your heart, soul, strength, and mind.” Jesus affirmed the man’s answer and told him that if he would do this, he would live. (Luke 10:25-28) There was no way anyone could misunderstand His answer, no way anyone could twist it to fit their ideas. Love the Lord with everything you’ve got, and you will have eternal life.

Man of Sorrows

August 10, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

True disciples of Jesus seek to live a life that looks just like Jesus. Indeed, God’s Word commands us to walk just as Jesus walked, to live just as He did. (1 John 2:6; Ephesians 5:1-2) And yet somewhere along the line we got the idea that Jesus calls us to be happy. Jesus was called the Man of Sorrows. (Isaiah 53:3) Does that sound like He was living a life of happiness, health, and wealth?

Any preacher promising that Jesus wants you to live your best life now is ignorant of what the Word of God teaches. Jesus came to suffer and also promised us we would suffer in this life. (Isaiah 53:4-5; John 16:33; 2 Timothy 3:12) Following Jesus is about obedience, not autonomy; sacrifice, not accumulation. Our Lord promised to give us life to the fullest, but we won’t find that fullness until we reign with Him in His eternal Kingdom. (John 10:10; Revelation 22:1-5)

Useless

July 27, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

Everything we do that is not for God is useless. No matter how noble or great our endeavors and intentions might appear, they are all futile. (Ecclesiastes 1:2-3; Psalm 127:1) No task done for any reason besides the glory of God is worth anything. (1 Corinthians 10:31; Colossians 3:17) But for glorifying God, we are useless beings doing useless activities. Except for Christ, there is no reason for any of us to live. (Philippians 1:21; Acts 17:28)

It is only when we do things for the glory of God that they have any value and, by extension, give value to us. The whole point of Heaven is to spend eternity glorifying God. (Revelation 7:9-12; Revelation 5:11-13) If that’s the plan for eternity, shouldn’t it be how we spend our lives in the here and now?
