The One Who Calls You Is Faithful

Our God is eternally faithful.

That’s what I want you to take from this book.

I’ve pulled the title from 1 Thessalonians 5:24. It is the anchor verse on which this book is founded.

“The One who calls you is faithful, and He will do it.”

Do you feel the doors in your life have closed? Have the detours and delays in receiving answers from God worn you out?

Here’s the theological heart of what this book teaches:

As the Author of your life, God is editing every paragraph of your journey so that the world finds Him through their interactions with you.

What if the best part of your life hasn’t happened yet? What if the Author of Salvation is still writing your story?

This is the exciting part. He is and wants to bring you to a good end.

Put your faith in Him today!

Pastor Tim

A Message from the Desk of Tim Barker:

Where do we stand in God’s story?

That’s a question we must all ask ourselves.

If you feel sidelined, God is prepared to write you back in. Never count yourself out.

He wants you to actively walk with Him.

So don’t close the book of your life too early. Just turn the page.

Your story is still unfolding!

Tim R. Barker, D. Min.
