As Solomon explores a variety of personal pursuits we discover that the more She pursued personal satisfaction, the more he lost real perspective on the purpose of life. (Ecclesiastes 2:1-17)
In this earthly existence, this circle of life... we may or may not discover our place, but ultimately, we’re not here just for this life… we’re created by God for something more… something better beyond this temporary, vain, and often troubled, existence. (Ecclesiastes 1:3-18)
Solomon wanted to figure out what life was all about. So he launched out on a no-holds barred life safari that cost him millions of dollars and many years of his life. The Preacher was on a search for his purpose in life and it appears he was running on empty. (Ecclesiastes 1:1-3)
Jesus’ great I Am statement does not stand alone, it demands a response. “Do You believe this?” He asked Martha. Do you believe this? He asks you and me! And what will our answer be? This is The Life that only Jesus offers. (John 11:25-27)
For millions of people Christmas is just "the holiday season." May we not lose the sense of marvel at the Christmas miracle... Immanuel, God with us. He is our gift on the front porch of our life... waiting to unwrapped. (Isaiah 7:14-17)
