Saturday
Daily Devotional:
January 19th
Uniquely Telling a Story
The four Gospels do not contradict each other, but John’s Gospel in particular gives a unique perspective on the life and ministry of Jesus. As a disciple and apostle, John the author had a mandate to testify to what he had seen and heard. In fact, the essential requirement for apostleship was being an eyewitness to Jesus’s ministry. But we have the same calling to be a witness and the same opportunity to be a unique voice offering something special that no one else can offer.
The High Calling
The High Calling is a production of the Theology of Work Project in partnership with the H. E. Butt Family Foundation. Here you'll discover a range of stories that help you think deeply about how your faith relates to your work and the culture you live in. Every day on this page you'll find a new devotional from Mark Roberts' Life For Leaders.
