Many Christians today are unhappy and dissatisfied with their lives. We live in relative material ease yet we work to accumulate even more possessions. We cram our schedules full of activities as though busyness were the key to contentment. In the first of three articles on godly contentment, Dr. Don Dunlap reminds us if we want to be truly contented, we must realize the truth that we find real happiness, joy and satisfaction only in our relationship with Jesus Christ.
