Instead of complaining at his lot, a contented man is thankful that his condition and circumstances are no worse than they are. Instead of greedily desiring something more than the supply of his present need, he rejoices that God still cares for him. Such an one is "content" with such as he has (Heb. 13:5).

Most Christians expect little from God, ask little, and therefore receive little and are content with little.

Grace can neither be bought, earned, or won by the creature. If it could be, it would cease to be grace.

if the will is their servant then it is not sovereign, and if the will is not sovereign, we certainly cannot predicate 'freedom' of it.

The gospel is not an announcement that God has relaxed his justice or lowered the standard of His holiness.

The measure of our love for others can largely be determined by the frequency and earnestness of our prayers for them.

A consciousness of our powerlessness should cast us upon Him who has all power. Here then is where a vision and view of God's sovereignty helps, for it reveals His sufficiency and shows us our insufficiency.
