1. "All the world lives in two tents--content and discontent."
   a. Which "tent" do you live in?
   b. Paul, as a disciple of Jesus, lived in a constant state of 
      contentment
   c. A contentment learned and enjoyed through his relationship with
      God through Jesus Christ

2. He encourages us to follow his example, if we desire to have the 
   same relationship with God - cf. Php 4:9
   a. To learn of his "ways in Christ" which he taught in every church 
      - 1Co 4:16-17
   b. Such "ways" certainly included those taught by our Lord Himself!
      
If we desire to overcome discontent, then let's be inspired by the 
example of Paul who wrote:

   "I have been crucified with Christ; it is no longer I who live,
   but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the 
   flesh I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave
   Himself for me. (Ga 2:20)
