Good Gone Bad

An old friend and I were batting around topics for blog posts a few weeks back. I often impose on people that way, and most are happy to help. They also tend to come up with ideas I would never think of on my own. In this case, the suggestion that jumped out at me was worded as follows: “Not being weary in well doing when you are weary in well doing.”

Well, yeah.

Time and Chance (50)

Almost a year ago we started this weekly study in Ecclesiastes, and here we are in the penultimate chapter. I have been poking along a verse or two at a time, because it seems to me that this 3,000 year old treatise on the meaning of life deserves our concentrated attention and rarely gets it.

Hey, Christians and unbelievers alike quote from Ecclesiastes all the time. There’s some great stuff in there for funerals. But when was the last time you heard even a single sermon on the book, let alone a series? I can remember maybe two in my entire life.
