The Gospel According to Matt

Scripture tells us that “Godliness with contentment is great gain (1 Timothy 6:6).” The clear teaching of Scripture is that we need to be content with God’s gifts for our lives—that we don’t need to indulge in the never-ending journey to have more stuff. However, contentment doesn’t mean acceptance of the status quo. God is always calling us to grow, to be stretched, to be changed, and to allow Him to transform our lives–drawing us nearer to Him and making us more like Him. What is God telling you? What is He challenging you to change? Are you going to yield to Him or block Him out? Whatever you do, do it all for the glory of God.
