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

The End is Near

August 1, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

Every generation has raised the alarm that the end is near. Whether it was war, famine, disease, or outright evil, proclamations of the end of the world have never been too far removed from the culture. Christianity has fed into this with countless so-called prophets predicting the second coming of the Lord. The Lord is coming back, but we know from Jesus Himself that no one knows when that day will be (Matthew 24:36).

That means every prediction about the timing of His return will be wrong. You would think with so many proclamations of how short time is that Christians would have lived like it was true at some point. But even after hundreds of years of predicted doom, we still carry on as if we have all the time in the world to make things right. So what if Jesus actually comes back today?

The Tragedy of Neglect

July 28, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

Few things are more detrimental to your walk with Christ than ignoring the little things. The tragedy of neglect is that good habits disappear quickly when left untended. The disciplines you’ve instilled in your life that have allowed you to make great strides in your walk with Christ can dissolve overnight if you don’t do the work of maintaining them every day. Cherished relationships wither and fade if we do not feed them.

We must renew our commitment to living the life of a disciple every day. We can never take our foot off the pedal and begin coasting. There are no days off. Without daily attention and determination, the pull of sin will undermine everything we live for and relegate us to a weak and wasted life.

The Truth Is

July 25, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

The truth is God’s Word. The truth is Jesus. There is no your truth, my truth, his truth, her truth. There is only the truth. The opinions of this world will always be just that: opinions. Truth is unchanging and eternal. No amount of virtue signaling or cultural capitulation can change the truth. Any activity or opinion that violates the Word of God is not just wrong, it is sin and open rebellion against the God who created you.

Maybe you don’t believe in God, or perhaps you do, but don’t believe in the Creation story of the Bible. It doesn’t matter. The truth is that you are wrong because the truth does not change based on your opinions or beliefs. God defines what is true, not any of us.

Prioritize Jesus

July 7, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

It seems no matter how hard we try, we never have enough time to do everything we want and need to do. In all of history, we’ve never had more options about how to spend our time than we do today. With all the options comes a sort of paralysis. It’s too much. I recently heard a psychologist state anxiety results from too many options and too many images.

We get anxious because the things of this world overstimulate us with possibilities. Satan is clever, and we can’t ignore the brilliance of his strategy. By overwhelming our senses, we experience stress, which hinders our decision-making processes. We must have a strategy to combat the overwhelming options in our world. We must learn to prioritize Jesus in advance so we can defend against the onslaught of possibilities.

Hold Fast

June 27, 2022 by Tim Sherfy

A question I often hear pastors and writers ask is, “If you knew Jesus was coming tomorrow, how would you live today?” The best answer I ever saw or heard in response to this question was from John Wesley. He said he would live it as he has every other day, practicing the disciplines of his spiritual life. What an amazing testimony! We should all aspire to give such an answer. Tragically, few of us can answer in this way.

As the days grow darker and the return of our Savior draws nearer, it becomes urgent we prepare now to meet our Lord. While so many of us play around and dabble with Christianity, I can assure you Jesus will not be playing when He returns. If we don’t hold fast to our faith today, what makes us think we will be ready to meet Him tomorrow?
