In this podcast, we will be discussing the topic of Christian Contentment. We will be using a quote by Jeremiah Burroughs to define it. Burroughs defines it this way, "Christian contentment is that sweet, inward, quiet, gracious frame of spirit, that freely submits to and delights in God's wise and Fatherly disposal in every condition."
There are so many discontented people living in a discontented world. And contentment is one of those very difficult things for people today. People are looking for contentment in so many different places. They look for contentment in the possessions that they have. They look for contentment in the people that are around them, in their relationships. They look for contentment in their circumstances. Inevitably, what will happen is because God has never wired us to receive contentment from those things, people will continue in their discontentment.
But there is hope. You can find contentment. I hope you will find that Christ is to be your ultimate satisfaction and your ultimate peace.
