Faith Chat summary and scripture references
There is a major misconception in the body of Christ that there are Higher Callings, usually associated with being in the ministry. However, God doesn’t have higher or lower callings. Assigning ranks to a calling is a man-made creation.

Romans 12:3-8 NIV
