Synopsis

Based on Philippians 4:11, I have learned, in whatever state I am therewith to be content, Watson considers the great dishonor done to almighty God by the sin of discontent. The doctrine of Christian contentment is clearly illustrated and profitably applied. The special cases where, through changes in providences, discontentment most commonly arises are examined and preservatives are applied to the soul.

July 3, 2023 — Went to church yesterday for a sermon on complaining. Came home to pick up where I left off in this. Please send ambulance. May not recover. 😆 Next time I read this, I think I'll skip the parts where he gets into "Why did this happen? Maybe x, y, or z." Yeah, but maybe a host of other......more
