The Contented Man
In contrast to a culture heavily focused on materialism, the Bible offers something far better: the “rare jewel of Christian contentment.” When we find our worth in our money and possessions, Alistair Begg teaches, our affections are dangerously misplaced. True contentment does not come through self-sufficiency, but is found only in the sufficiency of Christ. Like Paul, we are called to seek our satisfaction in the Lord, regardless of our circumstances.
