Even If i Walk Alone

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

Psalms

Always Listening

May 27, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

With the number of apps and devices listening to everything you say, there is a growing concern about the death of privacy. It has been well-founded that many of these devices are listening even when you turn them off or restrict their permissions. Combine this with the growing number of cameras in your home and in public, and it’s safe to say privacy in modern cultures is a thing of the past.

always listening,discipleship,discipline

Someone or something is always listening. Someone or something is always watching. This makes most normal people uncomfortable, to say the least. We don’t want our most intimate words and actions to be known. But this is nothing new. From the beginning, God was always listening and watching (Psalm 94:9). You have never said or done anything that escaped His awareness (Psalm 139:1-4).

Study His Word

May 16, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

Something that continues to bother me is how Christians can consider the Bible to be dry and boring. I suppose I can understand why unbelievers might think parts of it are a bit dull, but for someone who knows Jesus as Lord? I don’t get it. While I would not go so far as to question whether someone who doesn’t delight in the Word of God truly knows Him at all, it does make me wonder.

How can you claim to love Jesus and not be drawn to the book that is all about Him? How can you not hang on every word of the One who is more important than anyone and everything else? It makes no sense to me. If you love the Lord, nothing should excite you more than to study His Word.

Glorify God

April 25, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

No matter what season you find yourself in life, your objective is to glorify God. It’s why we are here. Nothing else matters aside from bringing glory to God. No amount of depression, heartache, tragedy, or hardship changes this equation. Nothing excuses us from doing what God created us to do. From birth, the highest calling of our life is to glorify God. It’s a simple fact almost everyone ignores.

We want to live for ourselves, which is a nice way of saying we want to glorify ourselves. Do you know who else decided that was the way to live? Satan! When we glorify anyone or anything other than Christ, we are agreeing with Satan that his way is better. That’s uncomfortable and blunt, but it is the truth.

Choose Your Friends Wisely

April 11, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

“Choose your friends wisely” is an adage with profound spiritual implications. Many choose their friends based on shared interests in things in this world, be it sports teams, fashion, food, or entertainment choices. In my experience and observation, very few choose their relationships based on how spiritually nourishing they think they will be.

This begs the question of why we would want friends who lead us into a deeper appreciation of things of the flesh rather than those who would help us grow closer to God. If our goal is to live wholly devoted to Christ, we’re going to need to surround ourselves with people who will help us along that path.

Death Is Not the End

March 28, 2024 by Tim Sherfy

Jesus lived a life so distinct from the culture that it got Him killed. By His life, we see we must cast aside the things of this world, no matter the cost. The world might imprison us. They might kill us. So what? They killed Jesus, but that wasn’t the end of the story. Jesus wasn’t just another man. He was and is the very Son of God (John 3:16).

For those who deny everything for the sake of Jesus, for those who eschew cultural demands and norms for the sake of Christ, death is not the end of us either. Jesus lived the sinless life we could never live, He was crucified to pay a debt we never could, and He rose from the grave to provide an eternal life we could never otherwise attain.
