Kristi Noem has good public policy. But she promotes gender confusion and is a terrible role model for women. Let it be said. Amy Coney Barrett will not abolish abortion (as we wish) and will not even stand against homosexuality, yet is the chosen God-send of the Republican party. We are so hoodwinked by the game played with our own …
Are you expecting your circumstances to change before you become content? Do you say to yourself that if he would only do this or she wouldn’t do this, or if we lived here, or I could buy this or that, then I would be happy? Well, hard truth here. Are you ready for it? If you say anything close to …
Thomas Watson, The Art of Divine Contentment, page 58: “It is a sign there is some good in you. The applause of the wicked, usually denotes some evil in us—and their censure usually imports some good in us. (Psalm 38:20) David wept and fasted, and that was turned to his ‘reproach’.

“But my FRIENDS have dealt very unkindly with me and turned against me. “It is sad when a friend proves like a brook in summer.

From Thomas Watson’s The Art of Divine Contentment: “It shows how a Christian may come to lead a comfortable life, even and heaven upon earth, be the times what they will—by Christian contentment. The comfort of life does not consist in having much; it is Christ’s maxim, ‘a man’s life consists not in the abundance of the things which he does …
From Thomas Watson’s The Art of Divine Contentment: “I see the godly man on his death-bed much discontented, andhear him complaining what will become of my wife and children when he is dead and gone. God says, ‘Trouble not yourself, be content, I will take care of your children; and let your widow trust in me.’ God has made a promise to us, that he …
