snappily-
1. " What is wrong with sex before marriage? How about: 'What is wrong with anything?' "
2. 'If I become a Christian, do I have to stop sleeping with my boyfriend?'
re-phrased: 'If I become a Christian, do I have to give up the one thing in my life which brings me happiness?'
drudgery?-
Drudgery is one of the finest tests to determine the genuineness of our character. Drudgery is work that is far removed from anything we think of as ideal work. It is the utterly hard, menial, tiresome, and dirty work. And when we experience it, our spirituality is instantly tested and we will know whether or not we are spiritually genuine. Read John 13. In this chapter, we see the Incarnate God performing the greatest example of drudgery— washing fishermen’s feet. He then says to them, "If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another’s feet" (John 13:14 ). The inspiration of God is required if drudgery is to shine with the light of God upon it. In some cases the way a person does a task makes that work sanctified and holy forever. It may be a very common everyday task, but after we have seen it done, it becomes different. When the Lord does something through us, He always transforms it. Our Lord takes our human flesh and transforms it, and now every believer’s body has become "the temple of the Holy Spirit"
Owsald, but you knew that already.

"He's going to ask, did we know each other?"
2 thoughts from today's qt-
: failure is to be successful at the things at don't matter. (as gotten from a little old woman at a funeral)
: the question is- the degree to which i see success in my life as having Christ as central to my life as a ball is to a game

the magnitude of the hope we have in Christ Jesus
It is an injustice to say that Jesus Christ labored in redemption to make me a saint. Jesus Christ labored in redemption to redeem the whole world and to place it perfectly whole and restored before the throne of God. The fact that we can experience redemption illustrates the power of its reality, but that experience is a byproduct and not the goal of redemption. If God were human, how sick and tired He would be of the constant requests we make for our salvation and for our sanctification. We burden His energies from morning till night asking for things for ourselves or for something from which we want to be delivered!
