Called Into Fellowship

By Pastor Ken Staley (Pleasant Grove & Harrisville United Methodist Churches, PastorKenStaley@gmail.com)

As a follower of Jesus, do you think of yourself as “called”? Normally you’ll hear that term when people are talking about someone who is considering entering the ministry. “Oh, he/she feels the call,” they’ll say. But “the call” that the apostle Paul talks about is to “average Joe” believers. Anyone who names the name of Jesus as Lord and savior is called into fellowship with him; that’s what scripture teaches. So, what kind of calling is it? In the apostle Paul’s letter to the Ephesians, he encourages them to “lead a life worthy of your calling, for you have been called by God.”

Believers are called by God to be humble, gentle, patient, and peaceful. Believers are also called to a glorious hope for the future. Paul told the Galatians that they were called to freedom from man-made rules and regulations, the Law of Moses. Who would not want to answer that call? The Corinthians were told that they were “saints by calling.” The word “saint” in the original language simply means separated by God and for God. Followers of Jesus are called to be set apart from a worldly lifestyle because the scripture says we are “called into fellowship” with Jesus. Isn’t that good news? We’re not called to grovel, we’re not called to live in terror, and we’re not called to grope around trying to find a reluctant God who doesn’t want to be found. We are called into fellowship with Jesus. By any reasonable person’s standard, fellowship is good and desirable, not something to be avoided. Could this be the abundant life Jesus talked about?

The abundant life does not come easy. Paul told the Philippians: “I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus.” The word upward implies that there is effort involved. We don’t mosey on or stroll on; we press on. We press on because an upward call has opposition. We have an enemy that does not want us answering the call into fellowship with Jesus, so he tempts us with whatever floats our boat to get us sidetracked. But Paul’s letter to the Hebrews says that Jesus rescues the tempted and makes us partakers of a heavenly calling. The young pastor Timothy was given this good news when Paul told him in his second letter, “God has saved us and called us with a holy calling, not according to our works, but according to his own purpose and grace which was given to us in Christ Jesus before time began.” So then, the calling believers have isn’t about favoritism of some over others, it’s for all believers and was planned through Jesus before the world began. We have been called into fellowship with Jesus. Will you answer the call?

Ann’s Advice

Dear Ann,

Our family spends too much time on our phones. We know it is a problem, but we can’t tell our kids to limit their phone time if it is a problem for my partner and I, too. I rely on my phone for work, and I often feel I cannot be without it. What is your advice for limiting how much time a person spends on their phone? Sincerely, Timewaster

Dear Timewaster,

There is no easy way to say it, other than you must get control of this addiction, for your sake and for the sake of your children. As a rule, anything you do, your children will do in excess. Technology is a wonderful tool if used properly, however, it has taken over the modern family unit. Parents spend time on phones or tablets instead of sitting and talking with their children or anything that takes away time to bond with your child. We only have so much time with our children; it is a shame so much of it passes in silence, our eyes focused elsewhere. If you are feeling unmotivated to limit your screen time, take some time to research the negative effects on children of a less-social lifestyle. Be motivated to do your job: to parent in-person; to lovingly guide and direct in ways that Google cannot. I cannot stress enough to limit your own screen time and to talk with your children about why you are doing it so they can also make healthy habits. Use the control features on your phone to let your phone remind you of limitations. Keep your phone in a different room in the evenings so it isn’t on your person (on ring, if you need to hear it for work). Talk to your children instead of texting them about problems. If your child doesn’t feel they can get attention at home they will look for it in other places, and that usually doesn’t end well. I hope you and your children can start to feel the importance of this, together.

LOOK AT THE PAST

J.P. Warnick

By Susan Adams

Joseph Parker Warnick was a native of Guernsey County. He resided at Tappan for several years but became a resident of Cadiz in 1902. He had done much work as a teamster in the lumber trade, and in 1907, he had engaged extensively in contract work as a road builder. In 1913, he built the racetrack at the Harrison County Fairgrounds for $5000. At the time of his death, Aug. 27, 1916, he was working a contract for building the Cadiz-Hopedale state highway, which was about one month away from completion. He was an extensive employer of men, and his contracting outfit was large and well-equipped. Warnick was a man of large physique and large and generous heart and a popular man among his employees, who held him in the highest regard. The picture was provided by Kathy Hickenbottom Taggert and donated to HCHS in 2008. The information came from his obituary in the Cadiz Republican August 1916 edition.
