Even If i Walk Alone

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

Matthew

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.

Why Would You Choose Sin?

September 7, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

When faced with the choice of honoring or dishonoring God, why would you choose sin? After all the Lord has done for you, why would you choose to serve Satan instead of Him? To my shame, I have to ask myself this question far too often. Like Paul, I don’t do the things I want to do, and I do the things I don’t want to do. (Romans 7:15-19) It’s maddening!

How can we love Christ so much and still live our lives as if He were not more important than anyone or anything else? Christ is Lord; of that there is no doubt. (Philippians 2:9-11; Acts 2:36) But if we aren’t living that truth, then we’re living a lie and a life of delusion. (Luke 6:46; James 1:22)

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.

I Urge You

August 27, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

When seeking how best to live our lives for Christ, there is great value in looking at what the apostles had to say about this. In the New Testament epistles, we find sections where both Peter and Paul made statements to the effect of, “If you want to live holy lives, I urge you to…” It’s there in black and white.

The very Word of God tells us what we should do to live a life pleasing to God and that would have us look like Jesus. It’s sad how easy it is to gloss over these passages when there is so much gold to be mined from them. It’s why we shouldn’t just read the Bible; we must study it, marinate in it, and bathe in it. Studying the Word of God is never a waste of time.

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.
