       The key word that Paul begins with is “whatever.” So, it is everything. He says, “whatever you do…” That’s absolute surrender, then. And that’s not what a lot of people want to see or hear. This is the call to the Christian life. It means that in everything we say and do, we do it to the glory of God. There is nothing that we want to be speaking or doing in our lives that we feel God would not be happy about. Whether we are hanging out with a certain person, watching a certain movie, putting a certain substance into our body, doing this work or that work, whatever it is, it means we ask ourselves whether we feel God would approve of this. If the answer is no, then it is not something we want to have in our lives. The answer is really simple. Of course, this will likely be something that changes over time because when we first become saved, we might not be that strict. Or, on the other hand, we might become too strict. It can go to either extreme.
