Book: Being Content God’s Way and the Being Content God’s Way Workbook

Author: Scott LaPierre

Genre: Christian Nonfiction

Release date: May 21, 2024

Philippians 4:12 reveals a profound truth: there is a “secret to learning contentment.” As Paul declares in the next verse, the secret is the strength Christ provides: “I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.” Just as a tree’s unseen root system gathers vital resources for the tree, the unseen part of contentment is being “rooted and built up in Christ” (Colossians 2:7).

With Being Content God’s Way, you will…

• learn to “be content with what you have” (Hebrews 13:5)
• enjoy personal stories and application to daily life
• be equipped to put off covetousness (Colossians 3:5)
• receive biblical answers to common questions
• discover why “godliness with contentment is great gain” (1 Timothy 6:6-10)

Contentment is not an elusive concept. Instead, it is a tangible reality within our reach through a relationship with Christ.

 

About the Workbook

The perfect companion to Being Content God’s Way!

James 1:22 says, “Be doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving yourselves.” A common mistake with God’s Word is believing we have done enough by learning without applying. Our responsibility goes much further than simply obtaining information.

This 13-week in-depth Bible study will reinforce the teachings from the book so you can be not just a hearer (or reader) but a doer (or obey-er). You will be given the tools to apply the reading and cement the teachings in your heart.

Inside, you will find:

• Helpful guidelines for deepening your relationship with Christ
• Thoughtful questions for self-reflection
• Insightful observations to help you grow spiritually

The workbook is a 3-month study to help you become rooted and built up in Christ. This great tool is perfect for individual use or group study.

 

 

Book Excerpt

He “is not anxious” during trials (“in the year of drought”) but instead is content because he trusts the Lord. Contentment does not come naturally through human effort. Instead, it comes supernaturally from Christ. Excluding Christ Himself, Paul was the master of contentment. We can learn four things from him about what contentment is and is not.

First, Contentment Is Learned

Sometimes, we look at people and think, “It must be nice to be them. They are so content. I wish I were like that. Sadly, God made me a miserable, discontent person.” However, contentment is not something fortunate people are born with, while others are not. Instead, contentment must be learned. Paul wrote, “I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content…I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need” (Philippians 4:11−12). Two verses earlier, Paul wrote, “What you have learned and received and heard and seen in me—practice these things, and the God of peace will be with you” (Philippians 4:9). We are to follow Paul’s example and learn what he learned, and practice what he practiced.

Second, Contentment Is a Choice Versus a Feeling

Contentment is like love; we think it is a feeling that comes and goes based on our experiences. However, the Bible also presents contentment as a choice.
