Victory Through Persecution

October 24, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

As we prepare for certain persecution in the not-so-distant future, we must learn all we can about what the scriptures have to say about this. One such passage is Romans 5:3-4, where Paul outlines the progression we go through to achieve victory through persecution: “And not only that, but we also rejoice in our afflictions, because we know that affliction produces endurance, endurance produces proven character, and proven character produces hope.”

I exhort you to commit the passage to memory for its encouragement. As we anticipate a day when owning a Bible may be illegal, we should all be memorizing as much scripture as possible. Do not be lazy or naïve in thinking that will never be a reality where you live. God’s Word tells us the days will only grow darker (2 Timothy 3:1-5), so we must prepare before it is too late.

The Very Words of God

March 4, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

We read God’s Word to learn about Him and to hear from Him. How, then, can we approach the Bible as a dry and dusty book? How can scripture not be our most valuable possession? You will find everything you need to know about how to live a life pleasing to God in the pages of the Bible. God’s word reveals everything you need to know about life, death, and the life to come.

It is sufficient for our salvation, and it is complete in its revelation. While the Holy Spirit may give us fresh insight to help us understand and apply some of the Bible’s teachings, there is no new revelation. The very Words of God to man were gifted to us 2,000 years ago and have been guiding those who will come to Him ever since.

Be Prepared

September 16, 2021 by Tim Sherfy

In 2 Timothy 4:2, Paul exhorted Timothy to always be prepared to preach the Word of God. Peter tells us we should always be prepared to give a defense of the reason we have hope in Jesus (1 Peter 3:14-15). And Jesus instructed His disciples to be prepared for the attacks of the world as they went out preaching the gospel (Matthew 10:16). As you survey the world today, if your eyes are open, you will see it is decaying at incredible speed.

I’ve been asked if I believe we are living in the end times. I cannot presume to know such things. Jesus told us no man knows when He will return. What I will say is I struggle to imagine the lawlessness and depravity getting much worse. I think Christians face hard times ahead, and we must prepare now.
