The calling of the prophets and apostles in the Scriptures evidences a calling to abandon the world and its foolish ways, and to follow the Lord at any and every cost even unto death.  That calling also evidences believing faith that is a gift from God, as we see the called immediately abandon all they were doing to follow the Lord without question, and without concern for earthly rewards.

This is not the situation we witness today as men and women who claim to be called into the Lord's service focus on achieving and accumulating stupendous wealth from proclaiming their own messages, which are far from the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ that alone has saving power unto salvation.

There is only ONE way to be a Christian!
