Being A Content Christian: 10 Bible Lessons For Ladies - Paperback

by Linda Singletary (Author)

It is the desire of my heart, and I hope of yours also, to be a godly woman. Not just a godly woman outwardly, but a godly woman inwardly. There is a difference. Many Christian women fit into a mold of doing what Christian women are expected to do and they appear to be godly women. They don't participate in worldly affairs and they are faithful in the activities of their church. They are accepted as godly women but in reality, they have only outward godliness. Their hearts are cold, their attitudes are wrong and they are sometimes discontented and unhappy ladies. There is a danger in modeling our lives after other Christians. Christ is our perfect example and we must keep our eyes upon Him and follow the directions given in His Word. It takes real commitment to the Lord to achieve inward godliness but those who have inward godliness will have no problem with outward godliness. Our verse says that godliness with contentment is great gain. When we can live a godly life and be contented with our life we will have accomplished much and we will be pleasing to the Lord. These lessons will deal with the problem of discontentment and what we can do to help us become contented Christian ladies.

Author Biography

Linda Singletary grew up in a pastor's home in Ohio. After graduating from college in 1959, she moved to Florida to teach in a Christian school. There she met and married Bert Singletary, who was also a pastor. In 1966, the Singletarys moved with their two small sons, Mark and Stephen, to New Mexico, where the Lord gave them a daughter, Susanna. Bert pastored Manzano Baptist Church in Albuquerque, for almost thirthy-six years. During those years, Linda taught ladies' Bible studies in her church, and then began writing lesson books for ladies. In 2002, Bert retired from the pastorate, but has continued to minister by preaching in churches, and conducting a daily radio program which airs on the Navajo reservation. Linda has continued her ministry to ladies by speaking at retreats, banquets, and other events and through her writing. Her favorite scripture is Psalms 34:1-4, "I will bless the LORD at all times: his praise shall continually be in my mouth. My soul shall make her boast in the LORD: the humble shall hear thereof, and be glad. O magnify the LORD with me, and let us exalt his name together. I sought the LORD, and he heard me, and delivered me from all my fears."
