Even If i Walk Alone

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

Proverbs

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)

I Need God Now

August 24, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

When facing a crisis, have you ever said, or heard someone say, “I need God now?” It’s true we need God in times of chaos and trouble. It is also true that we need Him every other second of life. Without God, even for the smallest moment, the entire universe would collapse upon itself. (Colossians 1:16-17; Hebrews 1:3) There is no part of life that can survive except for the sustaining hand of our Creator. (Acts 17:24-25; Job 34:14-15)

We don’t just need Him when times are tough; we need Him at all times. This is a shift we must all make to mature in our faith. There is not what we do and what God does; He does it all. We are powerless to affect anything in this life without the providence of God’s power and His will.

Scripture is Sufficient

August 20, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

Scripture is sufficient for any and everything we will face in life. We can find every answer we need to live a life pleasing to God within its beautiful pages. Despite being over 2,000 years old—even older for the Old Testament books—it is as relevant today as when it was first written. What other book can make that claim?

As the inspired Word of God, we can trust everything written on its pages. The wisdom contained in the Bible is God’s wisdom. (Romans 11:33-34; Proverbs 2:6) The truth is God’s truth. (John 17:17; Numbers 23:19) There is no additional source needed to understand the character of God, the problem of sin, and what we must do to accept and live for Jesus Christ.

Hypocrisy Is Useless

August 13, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

Hypocrisy is useless. After all, who do you think you’re fooling? God knows your innermost thoughts. (Psalm 139:1-4; Jeremiah 17:10) You can hide nothing from Him. (Psalm 139:7-12; Proverbs 15:3) To be a hypocrite, then, means you are living your life for someone besides the Lord. And we know that is the most futile thing you can do.

Hypocrisy is only pandering to fellow sinners in hopes they may esteem you as better than themselves. You are the same as them, and perhaps a little worse because you refuse to believe that truth. That is the height of arrogance and pride. Both are detestable to our King. (Proverbs 16:5; James 4:6) So, what is the point of being a hypocrite?
