Creeping Darkness

March 27, 2023 by Tim Sherfy

There is a creeping darkness invading the Church. Yes, evil is encroaching on cities and countries around the world, but of utmost concern is the way it is taking up residence within the Church. The worst part is this is happening on our watch. Less than five hundred years ago, brave men stood up and refused to bend to the perversion of the gospel. From these men, among other movements, came the reformation, the puritans, and the Great Awakening.

They turned and sought the Lord. Neither these men nor the movements in which they involved themselves were perfect. The result, however, was a return to the scripture and the King of kings, our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Look at us now. Where is the conviction and power of the Church? We have squandered and shamed those who came before us by falling asleep at the wheel.

Our Perspective

March 16, 2023 by Tim Sherfy

When Jesus is our Lord, our perspective on time, resources, career, marriage, and money changes. We want to represent Jesus well in every area of our lives. If we don’t have this desire, then Jesus is not our Lord. Contrary to some popular teaching these days, when you surrender your life to Jesus, everything changes. To make Jesus your Lord is to reject every pleasure and desire we have ever known.

Everything becomes about Jesus. All things become new (2 Corinthians 5:17), not just some things. Life as we have known it ceases to exist. This is why Jesus explains few will enter through the narrow gate (Matthew 7:13-14). Most people will insist on carrying so much stuff from their life before Jesus that they cannot squeeze through the narrow path leading to eternal life.

All We Have is Now

February 13, 2023 by Tim Sherfy

I’ve gotten (and I’m sure given) some terrible advice in my life, but perhaps none so damning as what I recently overheard someone give to another. They said, “Relax. Breathe. All we have is now.” While focusing on and maximizing each moment is something I can get behind, telling someone “all we have is now” does a horrible disservice to their eternal soul.

This brief life is not all there is. What comes next matters infinitely more than anything you or I will ever do in this life. To live as if all we have is now is to deceive ourselves and to reject God’s Word. This life is not all there is. What comes next is the reward or the consequence of how we live right now.

Headlines

February 9, 2023 by Tim Sherfy

Natural and man-made tragedies fill the headlines every day. Earthquakes, tsunamis, and wars all bring a sudden and violent end to the lives of so many. One minute people are living life as usual, and the next, they find themselves in an eternal Hell. There are no do-overs or second chances. Those who have rejected Christ in this life will spend eternity without Him. Life without Jesus in the physical realm is, at best, meaningless.

In the spiritual realm, an eternity without Jesus is unbearable. Each soul in Hell will forever experience darkness, evil, separation, and despair. Think about that every time you watch or read the news. When people die, it should break our hearts. It should strengthen our resolve to tell everyone about the love and hope of Jesus Christ.

The Gospel

January 26, 2023 by Tim Sherfy

There is a plethora of bad teaching out there today. So many voices saying so many things about Jesus and the Bible. How do you know who to listen to and who to ignore? Trusted voices I’ve been quick to recommend in the past have proven to be unfaithful in recent years and are no longer proclaiming the simple truth of the Bible. The so-called “Prosperity Gospel” is spreading like wildfire with its focus on health, wealth, and success.

Test

Progressive ideology is misleading people by the tens of thousands. The most popular churches and most popular preachers are teaching a gospel that is no gospel at all. With all this in mind, I think it’s important to restate what the gospel, the true gospel of Jesus Christ, really is.
