The Joy of Christian Contentment & the Misery of Loving Money

Maybe no other movement in church history has spoken with greater spiritual insight on suffering than the Puritans. In this message recorded at TGC25, Ligon Duncan mines Puritan and Scottish Presbyterian writers for rare jewels of theology we can apply not only in our personal suffering but also in our ministry to others.Recommended Resources:The Mystery of Providence by John FlavelThe Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah BurrowsAll Things for Good by Thomas WatsonThe Bruised Reed by Richard SibbesPrecious Remedies Against Satan's Devices by Thomas BrooksThe Crook in the Lot by Thomas BostonGrace in Winter by Faith Cook (based on Samuel Rutherford's letters) Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company.

Tuesday Night Service - What Is Christian Contentment And How To Attain It Part 3 - The Aggravations And Excuses Of A Murmuring Heart - Pastor Mark RalstonLegacy Standard VersionPhilippians 4:11

Jeremiah Burroughs was a peace-loving Puritan. Without sacrificing the truth, he sought unity among those who professed it, and prayed, preached, and pleaded to that end. Indeed, Richard Baxter, who felt keenly the need for peace but struggled himself to promote it, once remarked that if all the Episcopalians had been like Archbishop [James] Ussher, all the Presbyterians like Stephen Marshall, and all the Independents like Jeremiah Burroughs, then the breaches of the church would soon have been healed.    Article read this week: – James Davison, 'The Irenic Jeremiah Burroughs', Banner of Truth Magazine, Issue 559 (April 2010).    Further reading: Jeremiah Burroughs, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment (paperback, 232 pages.)    This week's episode art features a detail from William Bell Scott (1811–1890), Bernard Gilpin making Peace among the Borders, takes down the Glove in Rothbury Church, circa 1570 (One of a series of eight oil paintings illustrating the history of the English Border).

A transformed money ethic reveals how God fundamentally changes believers' approach to finances through New Testament teaching. This transformed money ethic teaches Christians to work diligently rather than live undisciplined lives, expecting others to provide for them. Moreover, believers develop a transformed money ethic that cultivates contentment regardless of circumstances, trusting God's provision instead of loving money. Additionally, this transformed money ethic requires faithful care for family needs, including parents and grandparents, demonstrating true Christian character. Finally, a transformed money ethic motivates generous giving to church members and practicing hospitality, as these financial behaviors become visible expressions of the gospel at work within believers. ★ Support this podcast ★

“I rejoiced greatly in the Lord that at last you renewed your concern for me. Indeed, you were concerned, but you had no opportunity to show it. I am not saying this because I am in need, for I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances. I know what it is to be in need, and I know what it is to have plenty. I have learned the secret of being content in any and every situation, whether well fed or hungry, whether living in plenty or in want. I can do all this through him who gives me strength” (Philippians 4:10-13). Throughout much of this letter, Paul has spoken of his joy in the Philippian church. Here, nearing the end of the letter, he returns to one of the reasons for his joy, also reflected in the beginning of his letter: The generous financial support of the Philippian church while he is in chains for the gospel.  Paul's comment about the Philippian's inability to show their concern initially suggests that they may not, at first, have been willing or able to provide support. Their own financial limitations, or the reality of their persecution we have discussed previously, may have inhibited their ability to aid Paul. Or perhaps they did not initially have a messenger like Epaphroditus, discussed in chapter 2, willing to risk caring for someone imprisoned by the empire. This further emphasizes the significance of their communal sacrifice which prompted this joy-filled letter from Paul. It may also explain Paul's comments about learning to be content in all circumstances.  This Greek word used for “content” in these verses is a word that appears only in this single context in the New Testament. However, it was a well-known philosophical concept in the Greco-Roman world, connected with groups like the Stoics and Cynics, which spoke of contentment as an ideal state resulting from supreme self-sufficiency.  Paul's use of this word, however, conveys a contentment that comes, not from self-sufficiency, but from God's sufficiency. Both poverty and plenty are states in which he is comfortable, not because they are a result of his choices or effort, but because his economic circumstances do not reflect his status before God. Paul's “secret” of contentment, a contrast to the Greco-Roman ideal, is further stated in verse 13: “I can do all things through him who strengthens me.”  Now, this verse has often been taken out of context to exaggerate human capacity. But it is important that we retain a distinctly Christian anthropology (or, in other words, view of what it means to be human). This verse does not imply any change in what it means to be human creatures. God does not give people super-human capabilities. What Scripture testifies about humans–that we are finite and fallen, that God is God and we are not, remains true. But Paul's testimony is that accepting the reality of human finitude yields a contentment that grasping for control over one's circumstances could never produce.  This is perhaps why Paul speaks of contentment in the context of his joy at the gift he has received from the Philippians–and why, as many scholars have pointed out about this letter, he never actually directly thanks the Philippians for what they have given him. Perhaps it is because he knows that, in their generous giving out of what little they have, they are in turn being gifted the possibility of learning contentment. A contentment dependent entirely on who God is, and not what they have. So where are you striving for self-sufficiency today? What might you relinquish to find contentment in God's sufficiency?  So as you journey on, go with the blessing of God: May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you: wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness: protect you through the storm. May he bring you home rejoicing; at the wonders he has shown you. May he bring you home rejoicing once again into our doors.  

This week we have Dr. Stephen Yuille in the studio again. During his last visit, he told us about a reading challenge through George Swinnock's The Blessed and Boundless God. Today, Dr. Yuille and Dr. John Snyder have a broader discussion in mind. Because of his profession and experience, many people ask Dr. Yuille how they can read and benefit more from the Puritans. He sought to develop a concise, systematic, scalable answer to that question. Instead of trying to read as much of Puritan writings as possible, Dr. Yuille encourages us to approach these spiritual giants devotionally. Just read a few pages each day. Reformation Heritage Books Puritan Treasures for Today is a great place to start. These books have been edited and modernized to remove the language barrier so many find difficult to overcome. Dr. Yuille's approach is to take six books and read them across six months. The goal is not quantity of reading but quality. Read the Puritans as they intended their books to be read. Read them with your heart, not just your mind. Meditate on what you read that day. We believe, as Dr. Yuille does, this is wonderful food for your soul and your will benefit by this practice. Each of the books Dr. Yuille suggests starting with are listed below with links to where you can find them. Want a great introduction to the Puritans?

In this sermon, we see that God calls His people to guard against covetousness and find contentment in all that He offers us in Himself. Contentment helps free us from covetousness. Contentment comes from God’s promised presence . Contentment is experienced through God’s gracious help. Contentment is not based on our circumstances; it surpasses them. Contentment is not automatic; it’s learned. Contentment is not complacency or passivity.

June 29, 2025 (Tony Capucille) - A sermon on contentment based on Philippians 4:10-13

In this special Father's Day episode, guest speaker Jeff Stemple delivers a powerful message at Flipside Church, wrapping up a series on 1 Timothy 6. Reflecting on his own experience as a father, Jeff shares a humorous yet poignant story about being called out by his daughter for his "addiction to productivity," sparking a deeper exploration of contentment. Drawing from Paul's letter to Timothy, Jeff addresses the dangers of discontentment—how it distorts the past, ruins the present, and robs the future. He challenges listeners to pursue godliness with contentment, offering practical steps like giving thanks and tithing to break cycles of unrest. With passion and relatability, Jeff encourages everyone to guard their faith, embrace gratitude, and live content in the life God has called them to.Watch all our sermons on our YouTube channel "Flipside Christian Church"Join us in person 9:00am & 10:30am every Sunday morning.37193 Ave 12 #3h, Madera, CA 93636For more visit us at flipside.churchFor more podcasts visit flipsidepodcasts.transistor.fm

Today we continue our study of these important verses by unpacking the secret of being content in every circumstance. Join us as we explore suggestions for cultivating contentment in our own hearts!

In these famous verses, the Apostle explains that he has learned “the secret” of contentment. If contentment is a “secret” then from it we infer discontent is the normal, common disposition. Part of learning the “secret” of contentment is learning the truth about our discontent and from whence it comes, join us as we unpack these verses together!

In this episode, the pastors discuss the concept of "easy to edify, hard to offend" in light of Jeremiah Burrough's The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment. Why are we sinfully inclined to criticize and be discontent? How can we cultivate hearts that are gracious and thankful? We are actively working to make The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment available in our book nook. The modernized edition that we like is currently out of stock, but we hope to have it soon!

THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD; 30 AND YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, AND WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND, AND WITH ALL YOUR STRENGTH.'” We agree with Jeremiah Burroughs he concludes his second sermon, (on contentment) with this: “But upon that it is, that a gracious heart hath Contentment, he doth melt his Will into Gods, for saith he, If God have glory, I have glory, Gods glory is my glory, and therefore Gods will is mine; if God have riches, then I have riches; if God be magnified, then I am magnified; if God be satisfied, then I am satisfied; Gods wisdom and holiness is mine, and therefore his will must needs be mine, and my Will must needs be his; here is the Art of a Christians Contentment, he melts his Will into the Will of God, and makes over his Will to God, O Lord, thou shalt chuse (choose) our inheritance for us. Psalm 73.” Excerpted from “The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment.” We also ask for prayer for my culture in putting our Creator and Savior central to our lives. Thank You for praying.

During the gold rush of the 1800's, men packed up their families and moved out west in search of treasure. Friends and family may have thought them crazy for taking such risks on the small chance of riches. But no one would have faulted the same men if they suddenly found a vein of gold and refused to eat or sleep until they have dug to the end of that vein. When it comes to studying Scripture, it is helpful to think of it as digging in a mine. We go where others have found treasure before, trusting that we will find it as well. But there is one major difference between those who mine the Scriptures and those who mine for gold: we are guaranteed a reward for our efforts. God is the author of Scripture and the same Holy Spirit that worked in the lives of its human authors is living and working in every believer. But that does not mean the work of reading, studying, interpreting, and applying will be easy. As you do the hard work of studying and praying, keep the end goal in mind. God's ultimate purpose is not that you would have the ability, like the Puritans, to write multiple volumes on one verse of Scripture. God's purpose in your life is for you to be conformed to the image of Jesus Christ. Let that aim, that goal, that purpose, be the fuel that prevents you from stopping short and getting lazy. Follow the example of Martin Luther said that he would beat against the Scriptures until he wrung our every drop of truth and application from its pages.

Guest: Michael Perron, Minister of Life Recovery at Prestonwood Baptist Church   Sit down with a piece of paper and write out: What is success? How do you answer that question?   Guys, at some point in life, you might make a decision that runs counter to the opinion of your father - which is an important step of growing up - to learn to pursue the acceptance of God as opposed to the acceptance of any man.   If your definition of success deals with anything “extrinsic,” you're going to be frustrated. Success needs to be something that is intrinsic, internal - your character, integrity - having that peace of mind that you've made good decisions and can sleep well at night!   Guys, are you satisfied with life? Are you “worthy” of being satisfied? Are you living today trapped in the past failures of your life?   Great resource: The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment by Jeremiah Burroughs   Guys, do you ever consider the decisions that you're making will impact future generations?   A good name is better than great riches. Proverbs 22:1 What “name” was left for you and what name will you leave for your posterity? As your children see you being obedient to what the Lord has for you, it will mark your children!   Randy Pausch The Last Lecture: Achieving Your Childhood Dreams (YouTube video)   T4M guys - just a reminder that Training4Manhood is a non-profit, 501(c)(3) ministry and you can make donations either via Zelle (info@training4manhood.com) or by visiting the Training4Manhood website.

It was November 1, 1973, and Marvin Olasky—a then self-proclaimed atheist and communist—was reading an essay by Vladimir Lenin. Suddenly, Olasky began to have thoughts he couldn't shake.  What if this is all wrong? What if there really is a God? Within eight hours, Olasky had decided he was no longer an atheist or a communist. He became a Christian a few years later. Olasky went on to become a leader in Christian higher education and publishing—most notably as the editor in chief of World Magazine.  On this episode of The Russell Moore Show, Olasky—author of 29 books, senior fellow at the Discovery Institute, and affiliate scholar at the Acton Institute—joins Moore to discuss religion, politics, and philosophy. They talk about two of Olasky's latest book releases: Pivot Points and an extensively updated Moral Vision, which includes a new foreword by Moore.  Olasky shares thoughts on his conversion, his relationship with George W. Bush during his presidency, and the evangelical embrace of some politicians and rejection of others. He and Moore consider the state of journalism, Christian symbolism in political movements, and the danger of echo chambers. Their conversation covers abortion and the pro-life movement, the Hamas attacks, and American involvement in world politics.  Olasky encourages listeners to live a life they'll be glad to look back on, and offers words of wisdom for doing so.
