This last month we’ve explored what our purpose in life truly is. We learned that God made us for more than this world has to offer. He created us for good works to glorify His name. We’ve explored lots of different purposes and callings of our life. But here is the end of the matter.Continue reading “Called to Fear & Obey”

If loving others is one of most fundamental and important callings, then loving God IS the foundation of all our other callings. We are called to love God with all our heart – the emotional side of our being – with all our soul – the rational eternity seeking side of our being – withContinue reading “Called to Love God.”

One of fundamental callings is to love others. Jesus repeated states that we are to love others – even our enemies – as He loves us. So what does this mean? Does it mean we’re friends with everyone? Nope. Does it mean we enjoy everyone’s company. No. ❤️It means we are willing to sacrifice forContinue reading “Called to Love Others”

Today is the Lord’s day! And today we get to really focus on one of our more important callings – meditation. David writes “Blessed is the man who walks not in the counsel of the wicked nor stands in the way of sinners nor sits in the seats of scoffers BUT his delight is inContinue reading “Called to Meditate on God”

We are called to be good citizens to the governments we live under. This one can be difficult especially for those living in places where the government is authoritarian or actively seeking to persecute them. Yet, when Paul (and Peter) give us this calling – this commandment from God – they were both living underContinue reading “Called to be Good Citizens”

They’re erected so the US Parks and forestry services can use them to lookout for fires, lost hikers, etc. They are also important guide markers for hikers. If you get lost and look up, you’ll see this tower and can hikeContinue reading “Called to be a Lookout”

I love mountains. There is something indescribable about standing at the foot of a mountain as you make your ascent. And, that feeling is amplified by 1000s once you reach the top. Mountains remind me how insignificant I am – how small I am – how young I am – how breakable I am –Continue reading “Called to be Humble”

Showing mercy is hard in this world. It goes against much of our nature. We as humans want justice and punishment for acts of evil, cruelty, violence, and all the in between. Even small things, if someone cuts us off in traffic – we secretly hope a copper saw them and pulls them over. It’sContinue reading “Called to be Merciful”

This world is full of fighting, conflict, and tensions. Conflicts exist between people, groups, and countries. With the rise of social media, you can know fight with people you don’t even know and will never meet. There is strife everywhere. This is why Jesus called us to be peacemakers. It a world full of hateContinue reading “Called to Make Peace”

We are not called to go along with the crowd.We are not called to blend in. We are called to be transformed. Paul tells us that we should not be conformed to this world but instead transform ourselves by the renewing of our minds in Scripture so we can present ourselves a living sacrifice toContinue reading “Called to Transform”
