“God is spirit, and his worshipers must worship in spirit and in truth.” – Jn. 4:24.  “I will sing with my spirit, but I will also sing with my mind.” – 1 Cor. 14:15b.

“And whatever you do, whether in word or deed, do it all in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him.”  – Col. 3:17.

Nurturing Faith
My spiritual formation as a child occurred in churches where my father served as pastor.  Similar to Susanna Wesley, my mother raised five kids giving each one of us spiritual guidance. From memory we recited the commandments, beatitudes, Lord’s Prayer, songs, and psalms.  She also taught a youth catechism class at church where we were grounded in the scriptures.

Saving Grace
Both of my parents cultivated my spiritual sensitivity and reverence for God. Daily they prayed with me and often spoke of my need to respond to God’s grace.  This prepared me for my first response to grace at age 10 during a revival service at my father’s church.  My parents nurtured my faith and spiritual commitment.

At age 14, I received an assurance of regeneration during a summer family camp service.  It was here that I became conscious of sin and the need of a Savior. Thereafter, I was baptized by my father and received as a member of the church. My parents faithfully prayed for me through my challenging teenage years.  Even today their prayers continue to encourage me.

Growing Grace
As a young married man my wife became my “spiritual soul mate”.  Together, Patti and I share our spiritual life in Christ.  As a young man, I experienced a distinct revelation of God as one who is as holy and triune.  Later, as a college student I received an assurance of the grace of sanctification and was entirely consecrated to God during a 3 day spiritual fast.  Later, I was ordained a minister by the ”laying on of hands”. Later still, I reaffirmed my baptism by immersion in the Jordan River in Israel to identify with Christ’s death and resurrection.

In Summary
Like Jeremiah, I was consecrated to God at birth by righteous parents.  Similar to young Samuel, I responded to God’s call at 10 years of age. Then at age 14, I was baptized in response to an assurance of regeneration.  Like Paul, I was sanctified in response to a divine revelation as a young adult.  Like young Timothy, I was mentored in ministry by godly leaders.  As a mature man, I reaffirmed my baptism in the Jordan River to fully identify with Christ.  Jesus is my Lord, the Holy Spirit is my Sanctifier, and God is my Father.  I have a continuing assurance of his saving grace.  I am confident that God will continue his work in me until it is fulfilled on the day when Christ returns (Phil 1:6).

Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things above, not on earthly things. For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. When Christ, who is your life, appears, then you also will appear with him in glory. – Col. 3:1-4.

Christ is my Life!  Christ is my Hope!  Christ is my Joy!
– Wes McCallum, 10/15 2010.

I sense a continuing assurance of His justifying, regenerating, and adopting grace.

God is my Abba Father, Jesus Christ is my Lord, and the Holy Spirit is my Sanctifier

I trust fully in Jesus Christ who was crucified, dead, buried, raised, and ascended as a sacrifice for my sins to reconcile me to his Father.

My salvation from sin began as an initial grace, continues as a present joy, and is anticipated as a certain hope.  Christ has redeemed me by grace though faith and repentance.  Christ continues to sanctify me as I walk in faith and obedience.  Christ will yet fully save me through resurrection and glorification and I shall be like Him.

I am certain that God will continue his good work in me until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns (Phil 1:6).

I live a life of continuing repentance and faith in Christ alone for salvation. Though baptism, I have been united to Christ and his death and resurrection. Through regeneration I have received “the gift of the Holy Spirit” and an assurance of the forgiveness of my sins.  I love God with all my heart, soul, and mind.

I value the life and joy of the church, worship, and the Lord’s table. I seek to fulfill Christ’s mission “to seek and to save what was lost”.  I desire “the glorious appearing of our great God and Savior, Jesus Christ”.  I long to hear His words: “well done, good and faithful servant”.

“I have been crucified with Christ; and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me, and gave Himself up for me” — Galatians 2:20 niv.

“…Christ in you, the hope of glory.” — Colossians 1:27b. 

Christ is my Life!  Christ is my Hope!  Christ is my Joy!
