The Rare Jewel of Christian Contentment
Free Curriculum Supplements
Excerpt
"By contentment, we come to give God the worship that is His due. You worship God more by this than when you come to hear a sermon or spend an hour in prayer. These are acts of God's worship, but they are only external acts of worship. But this is the soul's worship: to subject itself thus to God. You who often will worship God by hearing and praying, and yet afterwards will be froward and discontented — know that God does not regard such worship; He will [rather] have the soul's worship, the subjecting of the soul unto God..."

Jeremiah Burroughs is worthily reckoned as belonging to the front rank of English puritan preachers. As such he played a prominent part in the Westminster Assembly of divines, but died prematurely before the Assembly's work was concluded.
Burrough's writings, some published before and others after his death, were numerous, but The Rare-Jewel of Christian Contentment is one of the most valuable of them all. Its author was much concerned to promote (1) peace among believers of various '˜persuasions' (2) peace and contentment in the hearts of individual believers during what he describes as '˜sad and sinking times'. The Rare Jewel concentrates upon this second aim. It is marked by sanity, clarity, aptness of illustration, and warmth of appeal to the heart. '˜There is an ark that you may come into, and no men in the world may live such comfortable, cheerful and contented lives as the saints of God'. Burroughs presses his lesson home with all the fervour and cogency of a true and faithful minister of God.
