We have been challenged to answer God’s call on many different levels. First, we are challenged to answer God’s call to know Him. [Phil 3:8-11] That means God has summoned each of us to spend our days getting better acquainted with Him. Knowing Him is like an endless expedition.
We are also challenged to answer the call to make Him known. That means sharing Christ right here in Seminole, Gaines County, around the state, nation, and world. We have a mandate to make Christ known to the ends of the earth starting right here at home. [Matt 28:19-20]
Answering God’s call finally means surrendering our lives and families to His will and His purposes. [Rom 12:1] [Matt 16:24]God continually invites us to join Him and His work. For some that will mean a place of service in the church. For others it might mean being called into full time vocational ministry such as a pastor, student minister, or even a missionary.
As we answer God’s call as a church and as individuals it is my sincere prayer that His kingdom will be expanded. I am grateful beyond words for my family answering God’s call to serve here at FBC Seminole. We still believe “the latter glory of this house shall be greater than the former says the Lord of Hosts.” [Haggai 2:9]
