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! If you're really itching to read it, ask Timothy or Jackson to borrow their copy!
Rev. Mark Miller continues in his study of 1 Corinthians with today's message coming from 1 Corinthians 7:7-16.

De tudo e em todas as circunstâncias, já tenho experiência, tanto de fartura como de fome; assim de abundância como de escassez. (Fp 4.12)A natureza indescritível do contentamento não é nova em nossa era. No século XVII, a questão do contentamento era premente o suficiente para que o puritano Jeremiah Burroughs escrevesse um livro inteiro sobre isso, The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment [A joia rara do contentamento cristão], que continua sendo um clássico da devoção cristã. No entanto, a maioria das estantes hoje não acomoda esse livro. Em vez disso, é muito mais provável encontrarmos títulos alimentando a fantasia de que nossa satisfação depende de preocupações mundanas, como a abundância de nossas posses ou a consumação de nossos desejos.Se formos honestos com nós mesmos, devemos admitir que somos facilmente arrastados pelas marés da cobiça, bombardeados por um espírito descontente que está diretamente ligado às nossas circunstâncias. Como crianças pequenas, muitas vezes ficamos descontentes com o que nos é dado ou frustrados por nossos amigos terem mais. Como resultado, nos determinamos a fazer o que for preciso para “consertarmos” nossas circunstâncias financeiras, sociais ou físicas.É fácil acreditar que a abnegação ou a indulgência são a resposta para a cobiça. Por um sentimento de falsa humildade, por exemplo, eu poderia dizer que não tenho interesse em suéteres de caxemira, mas apenas em suéteres horrivelmente ásperos que me fazem entrar em uma erupção cutânea — mas isso apenas geraria orgulho em minha própria falsa visão da aparente santidade. Por outro lado, eu poderia comprar todos os suéteres que encontrasse na esperança de me livrar do meu desejo por mais!Nenhuma dessas abordagens glorifica o Senhor. Em vez disso, o que glorifica o Senhor é esperar nele, aquele que ricamente nos provê dons para o nosso prazer. Embora não coloquemos nossa esperança nas riquezas materiais, os cristãos reconhecem que todo dom de Deus é o resultado de sua providência graciosa e que o glorificamos desfrutando do que ele oferece da maneira como ele nos chama para desfrutar em sua Palavra. Somos livres para desfrutar das coisas — mas não devemos transformar essas coisas em deuses, perseguindo-as e servindo-as como se suprissem nossas necessidades e satisfizessem nossos anseios. O contentamento é obtido quando nos lembramos de que Cristo é o Senhor, e nada mais é.Isso não vem naturalmente. Você e eu, como Paulo, temos de aprender isso à medida que amadurecemos na fé. Qualquer que seja sua atitude em um dia sombrio, ou sua resposta quanto a ser preterido para uma promoção, ou qualquer outra coisa, a pergunta que você deve fazer permanece a mesma: como isto se relaciona com a total suficiência de Cristo, segundo a qual ele é suficiente para eu encontrar contentamento nesta circunstância? O contentamento é uma joia rara e uma coisa preciosa de encontrar.
The new title today (and through the 24th) is George Gilder’s Men and Marriage. Check it out here. And one of the Canon titles being given away (Nov. 18-22) is my wife’s book, Learning Contentment. Before writing this book, Nancy had spent a number of years teaching women’s book studies through some great Puritan titles on the topic, such as Burrough’s Rare Jewel, and Watson’s All Things for Good. This book is a distillation of that sort of classic wisdom, translated for modern women.

We kick off our introduction to our “October Surprise - 2024” by welcoming Romanian listeners and one other country to be named later. Thank you to all of you in Romania and all our new listeners. If we are to consider as serious, "Jesus answered, “The foremost is, ‘HEAR, O ISRAEL! 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.

The Good Life // The Rare Jewel of Contentment Philippians 4:10-15 (NIV) “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.Yet it was good of you to share in my troubles. Moreover, as you Philippians know, in the early days of your acquaintance with the gospel, when I set out from Macedonia, not one church shared with me in the matter of giving and receiving, except you only” 1. Christian contentment is not determined by your circumstances. 2. Christian contentment is learned.Philippians 4:11 (NIV)“I have learned to be content whatever the circumstances.”1 Corinthians 4:11-12 (ESV)“To the present hour we hunger and thirst, we are poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, and we labor, working with our own hands.”2 Corinthians 6:4-5 (ESV)“…by great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger…”2 Corinthians 11:25-27 (NIV)“Three times I was shipwrecked, I spent a night and a day in the open sea, I have been constantly on the move. I have been in danger from rivers, in danger from bandits, in danger from my fellow Jews, in danger from Gentiles; in danger in the city, in danger in the country, in danger at sea; and in danger from false believers. I have labored and toiled and have often gone without sleep; I have known hunger and thirst and have often gone without food; I have been cold and naked.”Proverbs 30:7-9 (NIV)“Two things I ask of you, Lord; do not refuse me before I die:Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread.Otherwise, I may have too much and disown you and say, ‘Who is the Lord?'Or I may become poor and steal, and so dishonor the name of my God.” 3. The source of true contentment is found in our union with and dependence on Christ.Philippians 4:12 (NIV)“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.”Philippians 4:13 (NIV)“I can do all this through him who gives me strength.”
Today I have the fun of bringing together three of my writing friends for a conversation where we talk about our books, how we research, and whether our genres chose us or we chose them. Janine Rosche writes contemporary romance with women's fiction threads, and her latest book The Road Before Us released in May. Janyre Tromp writes historical, primarily WWII, with gritty realism and a thread of romance, and her latest Darkness Calls the Tiger also released in May. Susan Tuttle writes contemporary romance, and in her latest The Rare Jewel of Everleigh Wheaton, she adds romance and almost a caper. We're all so different, and it's such fun to chat about how we got our story ideas -- they are different, y'all. I also asked them about how they got their covers, because each is PERFECT for the latest novel and I wondered how the publishers arrived at the covers. It's fun to learn some of the details my friends knew they wanted on their covers, and what was pure marketing magic. I think you're going to love this conversation as we delve into our love of books, writing, and research.

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!

On this episode of This vs. That, we talk with with Mark Vroegop about the concepts of frustration and anger. We explore how these emotions are often intertwined, and how they can be both righteous and unrighteous. Mark shares his experiences at College Park Church in Indianapolis and also provides a glimpse into his personal life. We examine the complexities of these emotions in the context of our faith and our responses to a world marked by sin and brokenness. We also discuss the balance of asking questions from a place of suffering versus a place of demand. Finally, we contemplate how dealing with these emotions requires strong theological foundations and faith.

As we approach the midpoint of season 2, this time we tackle the common struggle of contentment. Jack, Grayson, and Blake offer some insight into the struggle, the seriousness of the sin, and how one can learn to be content in the Lord's provision. Jeremiah Burroughs called it a "Rare Jewel"; we call it a "Super Power". Whatever you want to call it, know that it stems from a heart that has been changed by Christ.
