Drudgery is the touchstone of Christian character

The Christian writer Oswald Chambers wrote that ‘drudgery is the touchstone of Christian character’. He explained, ‘It is inbred in us that we have to do exceptional things for God; but we have not. We have to be exceptional in the ordinary things, to be holy in the mean streets, among mean people, and this is not learned in five minutes.'
