A Higher Call

In every generation there are those individuals who chose to rise above the norm, set their face like flint, and thus accomplish great things for God….His life is hidden in Christ and he lives for Him alone, not for recognition, not for a salary, not for personal gain. He serves and lives by godly character. knowing it was God who called him and it is God alone whom he must please.

Each one of us is called to live as witnesses to God’s great power,
love and salvation. Vocation does not change this fact. We will all
give account of how we have fulfilled this requirement-the privilege-
of bearing witness to Him in our generation.
