The path of least resistance

Human nature has proven again and again that we are naturally prone to take the path of least resistance. None of us likes being bothered with giving extra effort. We like things quick and easy.

It doesn't take long, however, to discover that life just doesn't work that way. Sure, we all have gifts and talents that enable us to do certain things that we've always been good at without much effort. Yet, the reality is that the path of least resistance often leads us to places that we find disappointing and uninspiring.

Empower NBCA School of Ministry is all about helping people find, follow, and fulfill their God-given calling. Living out the call of God is the best place for us. It's where we come alive, it's where we do the most good, it's where we belong.

Let's realize that living out the call of God is going to include flowing in the comfort zone of God-given gifts and abilities, yet it's also going to include applying our faith to overcome obstacles, make changes, and maximize our potential. In other words, living out the call of God isn't going to be quick and easy. It's going to take time and it's going to take effort.

I enjoy comfort and convenience as much as anyone else, but let's not be fooled by the path of least resistance. It's not the road that leads to destiny. Following the Lord is going to cost you something, but the return on your investment is well worth it.

Going to school might seem like a lot of unnecessary work and expense. But that's only true if you don't care where you're headed. Following the call of God, my friend is for those who are willing to make a serious and wholehearted effort. We can help you with that.
