The Highway Forums Announcements What's New on The Highway website? "Discontentment" by Guy R. Finnie

The injunction we read in Hebrews 13.5, ‘Be content with such things as ye have: for he hath said, I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee’ suggests that there is a tendency towards an attitude of discontentment in the church’s life. In every church, in every Christian, in every person there often appears evidence of a spirit of discontentment. Sooner or later, some word is spoken which shows that there is a desire for things to be other than as they are.

In this article, Guy Finnie considers two types of discontentment: Carnal, which is a negative expression and is sinful, and Spiritual, which is a positive expression and one which even God Himself possesses. It goes without saying that carnal discontentment should be recognized and if found confessed and eradicated. If you find that you lack spiritual discontentment, then perhaps there is a need for improvement in your spiritual life. Read what Mr. Finnie has to say about these things.
