A new day beckons All, in this episode we will examine the term 'diligence' or carefulness when it comes to a Christian's calling at three levels: 1) what it means to be careful and considerate in how we serve God the Father, 2) being sure of our calling in the first place in order to enjoy it come what may, and 3) being faithful with our carefulness when it comes to serving in order to yield results and know that we did all we can. These three definitive sides to carefulness/diligence respecting the service of a Christian is then linked to 'temperance' or self-control and we end the episode with a reminder of how Paul likens the Christian walk to an athlete or soldier ready to forgo certain bodily pleasures to ready themselves, discipline themselves for crowning victory. Have we equally measured the lengths and depths of carefulness we would apply to obtaining a secular degree or career position as we would to serving God, in how we are called?
