Sacrifice is the normal Christian life and hedonism is the normal Australian life. What a conflict! What an important part of Australian discipleship!
1. Are you willing to sell up your home in a "safe, comfortable" suburb to serve in another suburb that needs you?
2. Are you willing to have your children attend a school with difficulties for the sake of the gospel?
3. Are you willing to endure a lower living standard brought about because you choose to not have your spouse paid work, so she can minister in church?
4. Are you willing to take a sideways step in career to have more opportunity to serve?
5. Are you willing to give up a day of work a term to join others in church to help run a fantastic seminar in schools?
Great post from Archie. (H/T Craig)

The only thing that hurt me were some of the presuppositions in the questions.
Game: Would you rather be a machine gunner or an octopus? Wha-aa-at?
Anyway, I commented on Archie's site instead of yours this time.
Just went across to the Sydney Anglicans site and read your comments, Margaret. Great thoughts, which, I think, are truly in the spirit of Archie's own list.
You are so kind to me! In return, I will give you my great new artisan bread recipe. ;)
