The Call to the Soul
by Marjory Bankson
Understanding the concept of call is one way to reclaim the soul-centeredness which we long for but cannot seem to find in our culture today.
There may be one main call at any given time, but God seems to have an unfolding purpose for each of us which does not end when a particular round has been completed. The process of apprehending call follows the same six-step pattern in each round of one’s life even though the focus and result will be different at each period of the spiral journey.
The Bible is full of call stories! Throughout the Bible, God calls people to action -- to new roles and responsibilities on behalf of others. Each story of call begins with an internal dialogue, then there is a testing phase and finally, the subject is ready to take action even when that is opposed. The stories of Gideon and Esther will be used to explore the deeper structure of call.
