The Calling Is Now

RED LETTER EDITION. Follow the pathway to your unique calling. Through lustrous promises of wealth, power, fameand even the seemingly modest ideal of self-sufficiencythe world beckons believers away from the faith. Yet these promises fall short when it comes to our inherent heart-longing for connection with the eternal. Through a progressive illustrated pathway and 1,500-plus scriptural references, The Calling is Now invites readers to discover true peace and purpose. When we seek, know, and remain in Jesus' teachings, we find the pathway to our calling.
But who truly are our influencers? Do our thoughts, behaviors, and goals come from Jesus or from the world? The predominant ways of the world ultimately disrupt our ability to find unity with God, but there's good news: the Holy Spirit will lead us in the right direction.
Here is the life-changing breakthrough: following Jesus' way to peace develops our ability to discern and obey the convictions and counsel of the Holy Spirit. As we keep in step with the Spirit, we find an internal peace regardless of circumstance and a fulfillment surpassing anything the world temporarily offers. And this is our purposeto follow Jesus' ways, to develop unity with the Spirit, and to use the gifts we've received to do the Father's will.
Jesus presented us with a challenge: "Anyone who chooses to do the will of God will find out whether my teaching comes from God or whether I speak on my own" (John 7:17 NIV). It's up to us to discover the truth about the mystery of "Christ in you" (Col. 1:27 KJV). Through the parable of the lampstand Jesus explained: "For nothing is hidden, except to be revealed; nor has anything been secret, but that it would come to light" (Mark 4:22 NASB). "Therefore, consider carefully how you listen. Whoever has will be given more" (Luke 8:18 NIV). Don't delay: answer the call today, because the Calling is Now.
