Even If i Walk Alone

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

Come to Christ to Die

June 18, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

While it seems most people reject Christ, those same people would also jump at the chance to get everything He offers. They want the benefits without the sacrifice. Who wouldn’t want that deal? The deal Jesus offers is better by far, but on the surface, it doesn’t look like it is. As with many things in life, looks can be deceiving.

The people of this world want peace, happiness, and wealth without surrendering their selfish desires. Jesus promises rest, joy, and an eternity in paradise, but He does require that you first surrender everything to Him. (Luke 14:33; Matthew 16:24) So, don’t come to Christ for what He will do for you. Come to Christ to die. (Galatians 2:19-20; Luke 9:23)

Your Habits

June 15, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

When you die, if those you care most about inherited only your habits, how well off would they be? Would they be on the road to drawing closer to Jesus or drifting off the narrow path? (Matthew 7:13-14; Hebrews 13:7) We all leave something behind at death. The good news is we can decide how great or small that spiritual inheritance will be. Of course, that’s also the bad news.

We’re not acting in love towards those we leave behind if we aren’t pursuing and developing good spiritual habits as if it’s our full-time job. Our responsibility is not just to become Christ-like ourselves, but to instruct and encourage others to do the same. (Matthew 28:19-20; 2 Timothy 2:2) This is about more than your legacy; it’s your spiritual calling in Christ. (Ephesians 2:10; Philippians 3:14)

Why Is the World So Evil?

June 11, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

Most of us at one point or another have thought, “Why is the world so evil?” Why does it seem to get worse all the time? If we study our Bible, we know the answer, of course. This world is going to continue to spiral into wickedness until the return of the King of the Universe. (2 Timothy 3:1-5; Matthew 24:12) It’s not a surprise, and we know Satan is the mastermind behind men’s illogical pursuit of self-destruction.

But why don’t men see where their evil pursuits are leading? It’s obvious when one is looking from the outside in. Such lawlessness and debauchery are unsustainable. To reject truth creates a foundation of shifting sand on which no one can stand. (Matthew 7:26-27; Psalm 11:3) Why are they so blind? (2 Corinthians 4:4; Ephesians 4:18)

Ready for Action

June 8, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

Christianity is not to be a passive faith but one where we are called to be ready for action. So many Christians profess their faith in Jesus and never do anything else for the Kingdom. Can such faith save them? (James 2:17; James 2:26) The Christian life is not some sort of spectator sport. We must be serious; this is not a game.

Every day, demonic forces are wreaking havoc throughout the world. They understand what’s at stake, and they know their time is running out. A desperate Satan is even more dangerous and formidable than ever. He is gunning for you, and if you aren’t preparing for battle, you will not finish well. (Ephesians 6:12; 1 Corinthians 9:24-27)

Never Get This Moment Back

June 4, 2026 by Tim Sherfy

An obvious fact you come to embrace as you get older is that you will never get this moment back. We know it to be true on an intellectual level all our lives, but only the passing years allow it to come to relevance. This has profound implications not only in our physical lives but even more so in our spiritual growth.

Each moment is our one shot to maximize it for His glory. Every moment we decide to live for God or live for ourselves. His Word tells us we will have to give an account for every idle word and, by implication, every thoughtless moment. (Matthew 12:36; 2 Corinthians 5:10) We can’t live life on autopilot and expect to receive the reward of eternity with Christ.
