God is GraciousThank you all for your prayers and support. We truly thank God for his mercy and grace towards us in our lives and ministries here in South Africa. The LORD has given great grace to experience more of his mercy and love and grace and for this we truly give thanks.   Zambia TripThe LORD opened the door (through my beloved brother Ray and Cornerstone Baptist Church and Old Time Baptist Church) to help send 2 brothers from Joburg (Schalk and Maans) up to Botswana fo...

God is MercifulThe LORD is good. Keep us in prayer. We have had many trials and triumphs over these past 8 months. God is working strongly to prepare our hearts and souls and minds and bodies to be fit and ready to walk with him and serve him in righteousness and true holiness. I am shocked at how much fleshiness we still carry and how unfit we are for so many aspects of life and ministry (even just from an earthly standpoint). May God have mercy on us and on all those ...

“No Reputation”If our Lord came to this earth and made himself of no reputation, how much more should we reckon ourselves indeed to be nothing in the eyes of men and God? This is the word the LORD sent me to PE with, and truly it has been thus. May God thoroughly cleanse us from all error, pride, puffed up knowledge and understanding, wrath, doubts, fears, and unbelief so that we might truly be nothing, and thus, we can be FILLED by HIS Spirit with only HIS marvelous grace, mercy,...

Greetings, dear visitors, in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ! I just wanted to quickly mention a couple of new features that we have recently added to the site! First is the Daily Devotional. This feature simply spotlights a different audio file each day from one of our devotional series, recorded by Brother Adam; you can click to listen to it from anywhere on the site. For example, today is Psalm 7; tomorrow will be Psalm 8; and so on. Once the Psalms are finished, it will automatically ... [Read Full Article]

Better is the EndDeath certainly brings sorrow. It is the end of a thing or person on this earth. But thanks be to God that death in Christ is not without hope. It is not an utter end, but merely a temporary breaking away. For truly, death (when it is of the LORD and in his timing) is actually a planting of something that otherwise would have dwelt alone; but now, in Christ, it can be raised in both newness of life eternal AND multiply and bring forth many others of it’s k...

Dear family in Christ, I apologize for the lack of updates in 2022. It was kind of a rough year for me in some ways. I faced a number of challenges, many of which I did not handle well. I set out at the beginning of 2022 to continue developing this site and to record some much-needed content for the church; regretfully, I was derailed from this purpose early in the year, and I allowed it to happen. However, the Lord has been gracious to me, encouraging me through several brethren (including a... [Read Full Article]

Trusting in HIMLearning to trust in an invisible God is neither easy nor natural. However, as we seek his face in prayer, continue in the holy scriptures, and continue spending time with like-minded believers, he begins to win our hearts and confirm his work and grace in our lives. He presses us into obedience (often uncomfortable at first) and as we submit, we begin to taste the wonderful fruits of righteousness. His ways are not our ways, and truly his ways are far better. ...

God’s Great GraceThe more we completely surrender to the LORD and his will, the more we see his grace reign in every area of our lives. The more his grace reigns, the more his righteousness is worked within us and through us. The more we walk in righteousness, the more pleased our Father is with us and the more grace he pours upon us. And it’s only by his grace that others turn from sin and death unto Christ and his righteousness and his life. May God turn hearts unto HI...

Dying to the FleshIt is impossible to live according to the flesh and please God. It is impossible to think according to the carnal (fleshy) mind and abide in the life of Christ and peace of God. It is impossible to walk after the flesh and bear the wonderful fruit of the Spirit that brings our Father much glory. And it is impossible to set our affections and hearts on things of the earth and really love and seek Christ who is above. Dying to the flesh is never pleasant, but...

Through Faith & PatienceTo constantly press into the invisible realm of the kingdom of God and his Spirit truly requires both faith and patience. There is no other way around it. These virtues are absolutely essential. Let us praise God that our Lord is committed to working and growing these things in us despite the fact that often the circumstances we find ourselves in are rather uncomfortable. Let us press forward more into his will and his grace through faith & pa...

If you've ever visited this site prior to August 2021, you may have noticed a few changes here lately. TheCallingOfGod.org has been around for about two and a half years, mostly as a portal to Brother Adam's video series on YouTube, The Calling. When Adam and I began the site, I wanted to build it from scratch so that I could use it as a learning experience, to practice the web development skills necessary for my job. The first step was to get the site functional enough to host video and audio ... [Read Full Article]
