“Scripture is meant to change culture, not culture to change Scripture. Christian inspiration should be the opposite of worldly motivation by unbelievers. Sense of understanding or inspiration is to come from God, not from the world.”

“The apostle Paul says contentment doesn’t come to us naturally. He gives us the key when he writes, “I
have learned in whatever state I am, to be content (Philippians 4:11).”
We can conclude from this that contentment is a learned state. Unfortunately, we do have to learn from our experience. We desperately pursue what we think will satisfy us. Finding disappointment, we move from one thing to the next just as soon as we realize the satisfaction is but temporary. Sometimes, it requires we experience the thing we most fear to realize true joy.”
