Choosing Contentment

If there's one word that defines our culture it's more More upgrades More comfort More square footage More of whatever promises to make life a little better Yet despite having more than previous generations could have imagined many of us feel less satisfied than ever Why Because contentment doesn't come from acquiring what's next It's cultivated in the heart right where we are And Scripture reminds us that contentment isn't something we stumble upon It's something we can learn Why More Is Never EnoughWe're all tempted to believe that the next purchase promotion milestone or change in circumstances will finally [... more]
