New articles
- Careful to Hear, Slow to Speak, Quick to Obey (Part 2 of 3)
“Be not rash with thy mouth… therefore let thy words be few.” Solomon teaches that we must be careful and thoughtful in our speech before God, remembering that He is in heaven and we are upon earth. A few sincere and reverent words are far better than many careless and empty ones, for “a fool’s voice is known by multitude of words.” - Careful to Hear, Slow to Speak, Quick to Obey (Part 1 of 3)“Keep thy foot when thou goest to the house of God… and be more ready to hear, than to give the sacrifice of fools.” True worship involves coming thoughtfully and reverently to hear the Word of God and to obey it. Those who engage only in outward worship without heart and obedience offer sacrifices that are evil and offensive to God.
- Strength in Numbers (Part 3 of 3)Solomon shows the meaninglessness of political success through the rise and fall of kings: a wise youth replaces a foolish king, yet he too is later replaced. Popularity fades, and those who come after do not rejoice in him. “Surely this also is vanity and vexation of spirit.” True meaning is not found in power or fame, but in a right relationship with God through Jesus Christ.
- Strength in Numbers (Part 2 of 3)Solomon describes the vanity of loneliness: “There is one alone, and there is not a second… yet is there no end of all his labour.” The wealthy man has no companion and no satisfaction. In contrast, “two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labour.” A companion can lift up the fallen, provide warmth, and defend against danger, and “a threefold cord is not quickly broken.”
- Strength in Numbers (Part 1 of 3)Part 1 of 3 We are continuing our study of the book of Ecclesiastes and have arrived at Chapter 4 verses 4 to 16, which we will cover in three articles. The numbers zero, one, two and three (or at least the concept behind those numbers) all feature in this passage. For example, we see… Read more: Strength in Numbers (Part 1 of 3)
- Dust to Dust (Part 3 of 3)Part 3 of 3 In our last two articles on Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:3, we looked at two problems, which the preacher observed in this world, namely, the problem of injustice and the problem of oppression. A third problem emerged when viewing these things from an unbelieving viewpoint, even the problem of uncertainty about the future and… Read more: Dust to Dust (Part 3 of 3)
