Do Not Neglect Your Calling

Paul reminds us of our calling and the need to remain true to it. Eph. 4:1, "I therefore, the prisoner in the Lord, beseech you to walk worthily of the calling wherewith ye were called."

Summer time is just around the corner and vacations for many brethren will take up a certain segment of the next 3 months or so. As we attempt to walk worthily of our calling, it is imperative that our service to God be the centerpiece of our lives when on vacation, just as it is when we are home.

It is true; no one will know the difference when we fail to assemble for worship in a place we are not known. But, of course, God will (Heb. 4:13). He has called us out of darkness into his marvelous light (1 Peter 2:9).

If, indeed, we truly believe in the one body, one Spirit, one hope, one faith, and one baptism, we will submit to the one Lord and one God and Father of all whenever and wherever we are. Our prayer is for the safety and faithfulness of our brethren this season.
