Something New Under the Sun: Ancient Wisdom for Contemporary Living – 36. THE RARE JEWEL OF CONTENTMENT
And I saw that all labor and all achievement spring from man’s envy of his neighbor. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind. The fool folds his hands and ruins himself. Better one handful with tranquility than two handfuls with toil and chasing after the wind. Ecclesiastes 4:4-6 Over three hundred years […]
Something New Under the Sun: Ancient Wisdom for Contemporary Living – 11. MONEY, SEX AND POWER
11. Money, Sex and Power I amassed silver and gold for myself and the treasure of kings and provinces. I acquired men and women singers, and a harem as well-the delights of the heart of man. Ecclesiastes 2:8 Solomon had a harem, all right-seven hundred wives and three hundred concubines. Historians tell […]
Something New Under the Sun: Ancient Wisdom for Contemporary Living – 14. SO WHAT?
14. So What? Yet when I surveyed all that my hands had done and what I had toiled to achieve, everything was meaningless, a chasing after the wind; nothing was gained under the sun. Ecclesiastes 2:11 You would think Solomon would be happy. After all, he had it all-money, fame, power, a vast […]

Something New Under the Sun: Ancient Wisdom for Contemporary Living – 5. FADED PHOTOGRAPHS
5. Faded Photographs There is no remembrance of men of old, and even those who are yet to come will not be remembered by those who follow. Ecclesiastes 1:11 There is good news and bad news in Ecclesiastes 1:11. The good news is for those people who worry about what others think about […]
The ABC’s of Wisdom: Building Character with Solomon – Sovereignty
SOVEREIGNTY God Has the Last Word To man belong the plans of the heart, but from the Lord comes the reply of the tongue. Proverbs 16:1 We might paraphrase this verse as follows: “A man can have his own ideas, but the Lord inspires the words he utters.” This is a powerful […]
The ABC’s of Wisdom: Building Character with Solomon – Overindulgence
OVERINDULGENCE Too Much of a Good Thing If you find honey, eat just enough-too much of it, and you will vomit. Proverbs 25:16 Perhaps this doesn’t seem like a life-changing issue, and it might not be-until you begin to vomit. You don’t realize the problem until it has overwhelmed you. As Derek […]
The ABC’s of Wisdom: Building Character with Solomon – Peacemaking
PEACEMAKING The Mark of the Children of God There is deceit in the hearts of those who plot evil, but joy for those who promote peace. Proverbs 12:20 A few years ago pollster George Gallup surveyed Americans on the top five questions they would most like to ask God. The list included […]
