I want to focus today on one word that we find several times in this passage. That word is "called" and it is a very simple word to basically understand because we use it all the time in many ways. I think you will see by the time you get to the end of the message that no matter what you think of this word it appears throughout the Bible. Therefore, we should probably try to understand, as best that we can, what it is that Gid has done and continues to do to people around the world. By the way, this word , "Called"(as we use the word) is a bit different than how Romans used the word. This word , called in Romans cannot be refused or delayed in any way by anyone, at anytime. When called by God you change immediately.
