”’Not called!’ did you say? ‘Not heard the call,’ I think you should say. Put your ear down to the Bible, and hear Him bid you go and pull sinners out of the fire of sin. Put your ear down to the burdened, agonized heart of humanity, and listen to its pitiful wail for help. Go stand by the gates of hell, and hear the damned entreat you to go to their father’s house and bid their brothers and sisters and servants and masters not to come there. Then look Christ in the face – whose mercy you have professed to obey – and tell Him whether you will join heart and soul and body and circumstances in the march to publish His mercy to the world.”
William Booth (founder of the Salvation Army)
People today are obsessed with finding their “purpose”. Preachers today preach to the multitudes of those who seek financial greatness. It is high time to preach the gospel. There all men find “THE PURPOSE”! Our purpose is simple. We are to glorify God. Within that calling we are to share the message of the gospel: Jesus saves sinners from sin. If a person wonders if he/she is called the statement is correct, if they put their ear to the Bible they will hear the internal call from the conscience to tell sinners headed for hell to repent and turn to God.
