The Meaning Of Life

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.

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.

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

https://biblehub.com/nkjv/proverbs/29.htm 4 The king establishes the land by justice, But he who receives bribes overthrows it. Well. I certainly don’t want this site to become a political rant, but Solomon started it, and does not this verse apply to today? Congress has a political slush fund to payoff their victims of sexual assault and harassment,… Continue reading
