Newsletter - February 2020

SfK February 2020 Newsletter "Many are the plans in a man's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." (Proverbs 19:21) Understanding God’s ‘Calling’ to Us in Life and Work Os Guinness January 15, 2020 What do I mean by “calling”? For the moment let me say simply that calling is the truth that God calls us to himself so decisively that everything we are, everything we do, and everything we have is invested with a special devotion and dynamism lived out as a response to his summons and service. This truth—calling—has been a driving force in many of the greatest “leaps forward” in world history—the constitution of the Jewish nation at Mount Sinai, the birth of the Christian movement in Galilee, and the 16th century Reformation and its incalculable impetus to the rise of the modern world, to name a few. Little wonder that the rediscovery of calling should be critical today, not least in satisfying the passion for purpose of millions of questing modern people. In short, calling in the Bible is a central and dynamic theme that becomes a metaphor for the life of faith itself. To limit the word, as some insist, to a few texts and to a particular stage in salvation is to miss the forest for the trees. To be a disciple of  Jesus is to be a “called one” and so to become “a follower of the Way.” Read more  >>> Ministry Updates 1. Updates on www.sfkministries.org - Thanks to Kathy Cho, SfK Director of Marketing, SfK's websites have been updated.
