Existentialism, the dominant mindset of contemporary psychology, has infiltrated not only our country but also many churches. It implies that every man has the right to do whatever makes them feel good. But wrong thinking like that stems from self-centered pride...In contrast to self love, Scripture says we're to be humble and unselfish, love those who mistreat us, and extend mercy toward those who stumble repeatedly. Those qualities enabled Paul to be content in any circumstances.
I have learned in whatever state I am, to be content. Philippians 4:4
May we all seek to have this kind of true contentment...not based on ourselves or circumstances, but on the One who is deserving of our obedience.
