True Joy

December 10, 2018 by Tim Sherfy

There are times in life when joy is elusive. Note I said, joy, not happiness. Happiness is ever fleeting and, at least in my mind, not worth the pursuit. After all, we are called to be faithful, not happy. We are called to be obedient, not happy. But it is in obedience and faithfulness we will find true joy. So, when we find ourselves less than joyful, we should first check our obedience and faithfulness.

The Pursuit of God

August 27, 2015 by Tim Sherfy

When we think about the pursuit of God, most of us consider what we can do to chase after Him. Certainly we want to be always looking for ways to know, understand, and love Him more; it is the other side of the equation many never stop to ponder. God is constantly pursuing us. As much as we love Him, He loves us more.

As much as we desire a relationship with Him, He desires a relationship with us even more. It’s inconceivable; how could the Creator of the Universe take notice of us? Our ability to fathom the enormity of what His pursuit of us means does not change the fact the very God you worship pursues and seeks to serve you.
