Episode notes
Contentment Must Be Cultivated
- Contentment is unnatural and must be cultivated like a garden rather than expected to grow by default.
- Covetousness and murmuring arise naturally, so spiritual discipline is required to develop heavenly virtues.
Paul's Hard-Won Contentment
- Paul learned contentment only after much struggle and finally declared it from a Roman prison near death.
- Frazer Blaxland uses Paul's later life as an example of hard-won spiritual maturity.
Pursue Contentment With Discipline
- Do not assume you can learn contentment without discipline; pursue it intentionally as a gradual science.
- Hush natural murmurs and remain a diligent pupil in the College of Christian growth.
