Ensign, ‘Watch Over and Strengthen’, May 2000 “Confidence depends on your seeing the call for what it is. Your call to serve is not from 
Romans 1:1 “Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, separated unto the gospel of God”.
Contrary to what Mr. Eyring stated when a member of the Church receives a calling to serve it comes directly through a phone call from a man. He also made it abundantly clear that callings are obligations placed upon members to ensure the salvation of mankind.
The true meaning of serving God doesn’t include your phone ringing with the voice on the other end stating your name was next on the list to fill an empty spot on the church’s roster.
As I’ve stated many times before, I can guarantee God would never call me to be a Sunday school teacher for toddlers. Not that I don’t like them! It’s not what the Lord has in mind for me, or for them.
Here’s what Oswald Chambers said about callings and serving the Lord. Not surprisingly, his explanation is the total opposite of Mr. Eyring’s. Furthermore, he also points out that your personal holiness is an effect, not the cause of your work!
Do You See Your Calling? “Our calling is not primarily to be holy men and women, but to be proclaimers of the Gospel of God. The one thing that is all important is that the Gospel of God should be realized as the abiding Reality. Reality is not human goodness, nor holiness, nor heaven, nor hell, but Redemption; and the need to perceive this is the most vital need of the Christian worker today. As workers we have to get used to the revelation that Redemption is the only Reality. Personal holiness is an effect, not a cause, and if we place our faith in human goodness, in the effect of Redemption, we shall go under when the test comes.” — Oswald Chambers [emp. added]
When you have an opportunity share with a Mormon you know how the Lord called you, and what it means to be a true servant of the Most High God!
With Love in Christ –—
