Our Efforts will not Build the Church! Hi, 1st Corinthians 13 and 14 seem to have a theme that instructs otherwise.

And what say you? What is your call?  By whom are you called, and what do you see of your own destiny?

My Destiny; by neighbor Destiny  implies a forward course that is known. And perhaps it is that, but I have found as I sail on that I need tack and jibe tack and jib. The wind is not always at my back, I am not on a reach either.  Yet ever so slowly progress toward a point in the distance is noticed. It is about that time that I am moved along to set a new course, but always into the wind. I do not change, but the wind it shifts. Often I know not whether I am heading into a rising sun or a setting one. The skies and the horizon line  are beautiful, whether giving warning or rest. Destiny is before me for sure. It is hope certain in the faith of Jesus. Like with that family car ride, I know not when nor where to along the course, but my destiny is certain none the less.

My Call; by neighbor First may I share that I was indeed called, but for what  purpose I have never ever foreseen. I just go as called of the Holy Spirit. I have described my born again life  as being like a kid relegated to the rear facing back seat of a family station wagon. I only get to see where I have been, not where I am going. God has put me to use again and again as a "help".  God has moved me across the USA three times to serve as a catalyst for use in the cause of others that have ministries  in service to God. Once used as a catalyst I am moved on, only getting to see the fruit of the venture in the rear facing view from the back seat as I go  on forward to who knows what new  Holy Spirit vision awareness  led moment. Been that way  for decades.
