Fidelity To God's Call

Contributed by Ian Hyde on Apr 1, 2019

When we hear the word “prophet”, we often think of someone whose primary job is to tell the future. But prophets had a much more important job: they were called to bring the hard truth to God’s people, so that they would realize their need for reconciliation with God.
