The Meaning Of Life

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ecclesiastes/10.htm Allow me to babble for a second. I was struck by the first verse of Chapter 10 talking about how flies putrify the perfumers ointment. I just watched a YouTube video this past week about how cowboys ate in the 19th Century. Obviously there was no refrigeration, and outside of a hotel, the only… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ecclesiastes/9.htm Evil spirits exist. I’m not talking about ghosts from dead people, I’m talking about evil spirits conjured up by Satan, his fallen angels. When Saul went to the seer, and she reportedly brought back the spirit of Samuel, it wasn’t Samuel, but rather one of Satan’s fallen angels imitating Samuel. There is a story,… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ecclesiastes/7.htm Once again, there are valuable lessons in these two chapters of the Book of Ecclesiastes, but not enough time to discuss each and every aspect. But I want to bring to light a very valuable lesson in Chapter 8 and how it certainly applies today. Our nation, over the last couple of decades, had… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ecclesiastes/6.htm Many online Bibles have added headings over various sections of scripture something not normally found in a print Bible. And when I opened the Bible app this morning, the title of the first section of this chapter is, “Wealth is NOT the goal of life.” And that quote is certainly fitting. I wanted to… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ecclesiastes/4.htm Now I’m perplexed, as there are many things here that I disagree with. So it has caused me to think about myself, my thoughts, my opinions, and whether or not I’m wrong. Then again, maybe I’m just not understanding. Right out of the gate, Verse 1, “the tears of the oppressed… have no comforter…”… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ecclesiastes/2.htm As I said yesterday, I’m not smart enough to fully understand this book. Solomon proceeds to tell us that everything we do is in vain, but turns around and tells us when should enjoy life while we’re here, eating, drinking, and being merry. I’m guessing, in my mind, that is a way to tell… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/ecclesiastes/1.htm The book of Ecclesiastes is another book attributed to Solomon, and the title mean book of wisdom literature. And it is another book that I have trouble comprehending because of my lack of intelligence. You can read the scripture, and I at least, see different meanings to it, can’t decide which one is correct,… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/1_kings/11.htm Has the Bible not taught that no one is perfect; no one? Since Eve succombed to temptation, we are all born sinners. We can’t help it. So all of the wisdom God gave Solomon, all of the wisdom Solomon shared with others, it all went down the tubes because of temptation. The temptation of… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/1_kings/10.htm After a brief detour to review the Book of Proverbs and the Song of Solomon, we’re back to our study of the First Book of Kings. And since we’re on the subject of Solomon, Solomon is still the King of Israel. Sheba (I did have to research this) is reportedly a country located in… Continue reading

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/songs/1.htm I’ve not watched many James Mason movies, but he was a 40’s and 50’s actor that had perfect diction and spoke very eloquently. Likewise, in the TV Show “Longmire”, the actor Lou Diamond Phillips plays an American Indian who does not use contractions; he says “do not” instead of don’t, and “will not” instead… Continue reading
