The Question is contentment...What is something you would not be able to live with indefinitely during your life? For example - if your job, marital status, health never changed would you be ok with it?
If you had to "tweet" (140 characters) what the end game or point of Christianity is, what would you say?
Concerning Change of Status
17 Nevertheless, each of you should live as a believer in whatever situation the Lord has assigned to you, just as God has called you. This is the rule I lay down in all the churches. 18 Was a man already circumcised when he was called? He should not become uncircumcised. Was a man uncircumcised when he was called? He should not be circumcised. 19Circumcision is nothing and uncircumcision is nothing. Keeping God’s commands is what counts. 20 Each of you should remain in the situation you were in when God called you.
21 Were you a slave when you were called? Don’t let it trouble you—although if you can gain your freedom, do so. 22For those who were slaves when called to faith in the Lord are the Lord’s freed people; similarly, those who were free when called are Christ’s slaves. 23 You were bought at a price; do not become slaves of human beings. 24 Brothers and sisters, all of you, as responsible to God, should remain in the situation in which God called you.
