The Iron Pursuit

034 Called not Comfortable

Comfort is not the goal of Christianity—calling is. When men trade calling for comfort, they don’t just stagnate… they become spiritually dangerous to themselves and those they lead.  Comfort was never the objective of the Christian life—calling was. From the beginning, God didn’t create man to settle As we learned from the previous episode, He created man to steward, lead, build, and obey.  But the moment comfort becomes the goal, a man quietly steps out of alignment with his design.
