OUR CALLING

"Jesus didn't call us to be magnificent chandeliers for people to admire. He called us to be a single bulb in a back hall to keep people from breaking their necks when they go to the bathroom in the middle of the night. He called us to make a difference in the darkness, for doing so makes us significant and gives us impact." ~ Haddon Robinson
