Even If i Walk Alone

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

Matthew

Every Moment Holy

by

Someone recently gave me a book titled, “Every Moment Holy”. I haven’t had the chance to read it, but the title struck me. To see every moment as holy is our responsibility as worshippers of the One true God. To live every moment holy is the calling on every life that proclaims Jesus Christ as Lord. Our attitude each day should be to see God’s holiness in every moment of the day and to observe how He constantly reveals His glory in the world around us.

There is so much sin and darkness, but God’s holiness can still be found by those who seek Him. As we seek His glory, we bring Him glory by ordering our steps so that everything we think, say, and do is holy and pleasing to our King.

Tell Everyone

by

Does the fact so many don’t know Jesus break your heart? Every morning when I pray, I bring an ever-growing list of names before the Lord. So many of my family and friends do not know Jesus as their Savior. The older I get, the more devastating this becomes. The number of people I know who don’t know Jesus convicts me that I’m not doing enough.

What is it about my life that is not compelling enough for them to want Jesus? I know it is the work of the Holy Spirit to convict a person, and I should not take this all on myself. Yet the command of our Lord to go and tell everyone about Him looms large in my conscience as I feel the weight of my responsibility.

Jesus is Coming Back

by

Perhaps there is nothing greater to be thankful for than the fact Jesus is coming again. In a world full of evil and destruction, we are daily in desperate need of hope. We need a reason to believe things will get better and that this life is not all there is. All these things are fulfilled in the fact Jesus is coming again. Everything we experience here is temporary. One day, we will forget all our troubles, pain, and despair.

If that isn’t a reason to be thankful, I don’t know what is. The day of Christ’s return is coming, of that, we can be certain. I figure, statistically, I’ve got twenty or thirty years left in this world. The Lord may not come back in my lifetime. Or, He may return in the next twenty or thirty seconds; we just don’t know. What we do know is Jesus is coming back. Thank God for that!

Heading for Hell

by

Have you noticed the older you get, the more urgent you become about getting things done? We only get one go-around in this life; only one chance to get it right. For some, this means cramming in as much excitement and enjoyment as they can. For followers of Jesus, it means something else entirely. We have a limited number of days to point people to Jesus.

Those we don’t reach are heading for Hell. Thankfully, it is the job of the Holy Spirit to save them, but it is our responsibility to share the truth of the gospel of Jesus with them. Hell is a place not to be wished on our worst enemies, yet abandoning them to Hell is what we are doing every time we shy away from speaking the truth of Christ to them.

Whole World

by

Life is a little crazy these days. Hatred and division are everywhere you look. It’s easy to lose a little hope, and perspective is hard to keep. Trusted voices have turned out to be frauds and storied industries and franchises are falling by the wayside. The church is seeing the results of too many years of allowing the foxes to roam the henhouse. How can we stop the madness and get things back to some state of normalcy?

In times like these, we must remember God is still in control. That’s not some cliché statement left over from an old Sunday School lesson. Psalm 24:1-2 says, “The earth is the Lord’s, and all it contains, the world, and those who dwell in it. For He has founded it upon the seas and established it upon the rivers.” He has the whole world in His hands.
