Spiritual FoundationsDoesn\u2019t the Bible say to be content with what you have?
We\u2019re Christian Mythbusters.
Philippians 4:11-13 NLT (New Living Translation)
The Apostle Paul explained, \u201cNot that I was ever in need, for I have learned how to be content with whatever I have. I know how to live on almost nothing or with everything. I have learned the secret of living in every situation, whether it is with a full stomach or empty, with plenty or little. For I can do everything through Christ who gives me strength.\u201d
You can be content while building wealth, Paul is not saying, \u201cDon\u2019t aspire to having goals or to do things.\u201d He\u2019s saying don\u2019t let your circumstances dictate your mindset.
