New articles
- 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.

- Dust to Dust (Part 2 of 3)The preacher considers “all the oppressions that are done under the sun” and sees the tears of the oppressed, and they had no comforter. Power rests on the side of the oppressors, and there is none to deliver. In his despair, he concludes that it is better to be dead than alive, and even better never to have been born, than to witness such evil and injustice.
- 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)
- Dust to Dust (Part 1 of 3)Solomon observes that in the place of judgment there is wickedness, and in the place of righteousness there is iniquity. Though he briefly affirms that “God shall judge the righteous and the wicked,” he soon sinks back into despair, declaring that “all are of the dust, and all turn to dust again.” From the under-the-sun perspective, man has no preeminence above a beast, and life seems marked by injustice, uncertainty, and meaninglessness.
