Staying Committed to the Call
The apostles recognized that their primary calling was to preach and teach the Word of God. This wasn’t a dismissal of the need—they just knew that their purpose was spiritual leadership, not logistics.

When you leave your assignment to fix everything else, your unique contribution suffers.
