The Anatomy of Compromise

June 16, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

How has the Western church fallen so far away from biblical truth? Few seemed to pay attention to the voices of those warning the church was sliding into compromise with the world over the last fifty years or more. I was having a discussion with a recent Bible college graduate and I asked him if his particular college, which has long had a reputation as a solid institute, was still standing firm on the Word or if they were suffering from the cancer of wokeness inflicting most of our colleges and seminaries these days.

His response was the professors were solid, but the student body was drifting rapidly into liberalism. My friend then commented that he felt the problem was there was truth on both sides and people were prone to swing too far in one direction or the other. I submit it is this kind of thinking that got us into the mess in which we now find ourselves.

We Don’t Care

June 13, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

We don’t care that people are going to Hell. I know this because we’re doing little to keep them going there. We don’t care the cashier at the grocery store is going to Hell, because we didn’t tell her about Jesus. Sure, we smiled, were pleasant, and hopefully even offered an encouraging word, but that will not keep her from Hell.

We don’t care that the plumber is going to Hell. I know this because we didn’t tell him about Jesus. The reality is billions of people on this planet today are heading for Hell, and we don’t care. If we cared, we would do something about it. If we cared, we would live out the Great Commission. But we don’t care.

Complete Joy

June 9, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

When we come to Christ, a joy we have never known fills us. We want nothing but more of Him. Over time, that joy may wane. Following Jesus is not an emotional journey, it is a journey of truth. The emotions we experience from knowing Christ are exhilarating, but in the end, it is not the emotion we seek. We seek only Jesus. Still, the emotional highs propel us in His Name to do work for His Kingdom.

So, how do we continue to find joy when the struggles and trials of day-to-day living weigh us down? How do we find complete joy in a world intent on crushing us? The Bible shows us the way, and it is not about manufacturing emotion or attending events designed to elicit an emotional response from us. No, the way to reignite our joy is by sharing it with someone else (1 John 1:4).

Stand Firm

June 6, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

As the days continue to grow more dark and evil, it becomes increasingly urgent for the Church to stand firm and hold its ground, advancing as we have the opportunity. The darkness has been pushing hard against the light and gaining ground we would have never thought possible in the past. Meanwhile, the churches in the land seem content to appease the sinful advances in hopes of everyone getting along.

Jesus did not come to make a way for everyone to get along. He didn’t sacrifice His life so darkness could coexist with light. He died and rose again to provide a way out of the darkness and death. We are called out of the dark, not to accommodate it. The Word of God does not change. It is steadfast, and it is final.

Whatever You Asked

May 12, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

What if God would give you whatever you asked from Him? What sort of things would you pray for, and therefore possess? This isn’t far-fetched, right? Didn’t Jesus promise to give us whatever we asked for (John 15:16)? It is fascinating how taking only half a verse, and out of context, can quickly morph into a presumed truth taught by so many.

It’s not just the obvious Prosperity Gospel and Word of Faith teachers who push this nonsense. I’ve heard it from supposed evangelical preachers as well. We’ll dive into the context of what Jesus said, but first, it’s worth taking a moment to answer my initial question: “If God gave you whatever you asked, what would you possess and how would your life be different?”
