#STRaskStand to Reason

Questions about what the Bible means by “boasting in our weaknesses” (2 Cor. 12:7–10), what it means to “sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts” (1 Pet. 3:13–15), and whether giving our lives to Christ means we can’t have other interests besides God.

* What does the Bible mean by “boasting in our weaknesses,” and what does this look like in our lives?

* In 1 Peter 3:15, what does it mean to “sanctify Christ as Lord in your hearts”?

* We’re to give our lives to Christ, but how much living do we get to do outside of Christ? Can we have hobbies, jobs, relaxation time, further education, or other interests besides God?
