1106—calling
On July 1,
I wrote a word study on the word “calling”.
As this blog, originally, was a place to post transcripts of the Simple
Church Minute commentaries, of which, over time, I have one-, two-, and
five-minute versions. This is a one
minute version. For reference, all one minute transcripts have a 1000 number,
five minute versions have a 2000 number, and the original two minute versions
are in the 1 to 999 range. I have
learned that the one- and five-minute lengths will be favored when I finally
get to use these on air.

My name is
Tom; this is Simple Church Minute. Over
time, plenty of confusion has entered the believers in Jesus over the concept
of calling. Oftentimes, it is because it
is mentioned, but never taught about.
Further, in the King James Version, Ephesians chapter 4 verse 1 implies
that calling is connected to a career job, which is incorrect, as more recent
translations make clear. I see three
parts to calling: Romans chapter 1 verse 7 tells us we are called to be
saints. We are called to salvation. First Corinthians 1 verse 22 to 31 and Second
Thessalonians 2 verse 13 tell us we are called to grow in faith. Mark 3 verse 13 and all the verses about
spiritual gifts tell us that, as we grow in faith, the Spirit shows us an
individual calling based on his gifts, talents, and interests. Galatians 5 verse 13 tells us we are called
to liberty, to serve one another.
I
have more about this on my blog, tevyebird.blogspot.com, on the entry of July
1, 2012. I can be contacted at
