Evangelical Christianity in the United States is often characterized by a deep desire to have “Christianity” pervade our culture but not have Christ permeate our being.

Miscellaneous Quote
The Goodness of Godliness – Charles Ciepiel
1 Timothy 6:6 – “Now godliness with contentment is great gain.”
What is godliness? It’s similar to holiness (being set apart for God). It means living in such a way that pleases Him. O Lord, let the aim of my heart be to please You! What is contentment? It means being satisfied with what you have! If we have the Lord, His presence, and His smile … oh it feels so good! All the cracks of a broken life can be filled by Him! What is great gain? It means to make a profit. In this world we always look for an increase, and who would have thought it comes from ABOVE! In Proverbs it says, “The backslider in heart will be filled with his own ways, but a good man will be satisfied from above” (Prov 14:14). O Lord thank You for being my reward in this life, MY EXCEEDINGLY GREAT REWARD! I’m building my life on our relationship and nothing else.
