- Six Things to Know about Satisfaction
by Ps Linus Chua
Solomon, the wisest king in Israel’s history, set his heart to seek and search out all that is done under heaven by wisdom and knowledge. Yet after surpassing all before him in understanding, he concluded that all was vanity and a grasping for the wind. Even great learning brought only vexation, frustration, and grief. Satisfaction cannot be found in wisdom and knowledge, for the more one increases knowledge, the more sorrow is multiplied.
- Labouring And Gaining Nothing
by Ps Linus Chua
Solomon observes that “there is no new thing under the sun,” for history repeats itself and “there is no remembrance of former things.” Life under the sun offers no lasting progress, no lasting satisfaction, and no lasting remembrance. But the Christian sees history moving toward God’s intended end, and knows that while men may forget, God never forgets the work done for Him. True meaning is found not under the sun, but under the Son, Jesus Christ.
- Labouring And Gaining Nothing
by Ps Linus Chua
Solomon observes that “labour is futile,” asking, “What profit hath a man of all his labours under the sun?” He shows that life is an endless cycle—the sun rising and setting, the wind returning to its circuits, the rivers running yet never filling the sea. All things are wearisome; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear with hearing. Under the sun, life becomes monotonous, tiring, and without lasting satisfaction.
- Labouring And Gaining Nothing
by Ps Linus Chua
“What is the meaning of life and is life worth living?” Ecclesiastes begins by asking what profit a man has from all his labour under the sun. Many measure life by its quality, possessions, work, pleasure, or relationships, but the preacher shows that apart from God such pursuits become labouring and gaining nothing.
- The Lord Who Strengthens
by Ps JJ Lim
Isaiah 40 is one of the most comforting chapters in the Bible. God’s people, weary and uncertain, are reminded that “He giveth power to the faint; and to them that have no might He increaseth strength.” Even the young shall faint and fall, but “they that wait upon the LORD shall renew their strength; they shall mount up with wings as eagles.” To wait upon the Lord is to trust, to hope, and to pray. In doing so, He strengthens us to walk and not faint, to soar above our weakness, and to magnify Christ in us.
