I was at the conference in April when you spoke on this topic and was so challenged by this view of contentment. I have spent many years trying to pull myself up by my bootstraps and just will myself content. I am currently working through your Ephesians Study and have been stuck by how much I underestimate the power that is at work in me. This was a great reminder for me to tap into the power that is mine through my inheritance. Thank you!

Thanks, Wendy. I run in circles where the phrase, "gospel-centered" is thrown around a lot and at times I wanted to scream, "What does that actually mean?" In the contexts I hear it used, it seems to mean, "Oh, I just sinned, and I'll sin again tomorrow, but it's okay, cuz I'm forgiven." Thank you for fleshing it out much more deeply.
I have been meditating on Colossians 2:10 on and off for a few years and I think your post helps me to understand what it means that, "...in Him you have been made complete,..."
Lots to chew on in the post, I think I need to read and re-read...

The one for which I am most thankful in 2011 is "Where Else Would I Go?". This year has been quite desertish around here and likewise for my dear parents. The imagery of God's face being what I seek in this season were/are such sweet words for me. Thank you!

"The gospel does not obligate me to contentment; it equips me for contentment." An excellent thought - thank you.

Amen Wendy! I think the key to gaining contentment is understanding what contentment is and is not.

Excellent explanation of how the Gospel is that bridge that we all need every single day of our Christian lives. What a glorious promise to cling to in 2 Cor. 9:8. Thank you for renewing my desire to meditate on the riches of my inheritance!

What a wonderful perspective. I've never heard this taught before: "The gospel doesn't obligate me to contentment; it equips me for contentment."

Amen!

Amen!
