Content with our lot ?
the following exchange was pasted from a conversation between me and a friend.
Friend--striving for perfection only sets you up for failure.
Me--but contentment in where you are is result of never caring enough to try..
Friend--I have to respectfully disagree Chris. The Bible teaches to be content with your lot in life. It never mentions, to my knowledge, that you should try to excel in this world.
Should we just do whats neccesary to survive while here ? I have always been taught to exel in our lives here. Not so much the "keeping treasures" , but I never did believe God's people were to live or be content with where they are at any given point in life..
Any thoughts ?

In fact I think that the insinuation of "hateful" Pentecostals is coming mostly from the fertile imaginations of bitter, backslidden ex Apostolics who are constantly trying to find a way to justify their actions. ~ strait shooter
