The secret of contentment is to live no fault lives.
Joe took the expression 'no fault lives' from the analogy of car insurance where there are no fault claims.
We are to put no obstacle in the way of ministry, v. 3. Not material things, what we wear or the car we drive, nor the words we speak.
Our daily choices about how we live may facilitate or obstruct the gospel.
We are to live no fault lives as servants, v. 4.
The Lord Jesus chose to be a servant and he calls us to be servants in our following him.
This has proved to be a continual and on-going problem for the disciples, see Matthew 20.
We are to live no fault lives, as servants, with endurance - a comprehensive endurance, vv. 5-10.
The example of no fault, enduring lives is Jesus.

If you are wondering about morning bible readings at Keswick these were really good. The speak was Paul Mallard and he was speaking on Revelation 2 and 3, the Seven Letters. I've decided to post on Revelation in my other blog Reading Together and will comment on Paul's bible readings there.
