- Wisdom for Living in a Fallen World
by Editor
The preacher teaches that wisdom is better than weapons of war and that the quiet words of the wise are better than the loud cries of fools. Yet wisdom has its limitations in a fallen world, for one sinner can destroy much good and a little folly can ruin a reputation for wisdom and honour. The wise therefore need calmness, restraint and discernment when facing the difficulties of life.
- Wisdom for Living in a Fallen World (Part 1 of 3)
by Ps Linus Chua
The preacher observes that life does not always turn out the way we expect. The race is not always to the swift, the battle is not always to the strong, and wisdom and skill do not always lead to prosperity or favour. From an under-the-sun perspective, life appears uncertain and unpredictable, and unexpected calamity can come suddenly upon anyone.
- Enjoying Life Under the Sun (Part 3 of 3)
by Ps Linus Chua
Scripture teaches that life has meaning, God will judge every person, and death is not the final end. True enjoyment is not found merely in eating, drinking or earthly pleasures, but in knowing and loving God, seeking His kingdom, and finding salvation in Jesus Christ while He may still be found.
- Enjoying Life Under the Sun (Part 2 of 3)
by Ps Linus Chua
The preacher observes that death comes to everyone, regardless of character or conduct, and concludes that the living should enjoy life and seize every opportunity while they still can. From an under-the-sun perspective, the grave ends all work, knowledge and wisdom. Such a view reveals the hopelessness of considering life and death apart from God’s revelation.

The preacher observes that there is no justice under the sun and that not even the wise can fully understand the work of God. Faced with such frustration and uncertainty, he commends eating, drinking and making merry. Yet without God’s revelation in Scripture, human wisdom cannot provide true meaning, purpose or hope.
