• Minuit, chrétiens

  
  Prosso Speaks — Authority: 114
  Yesterday at church , we sang O Holy Night . Its one of my fiancés favorite songs. Im not traditionally a big Christmas person, but the gravity of the song humbled me yesterday. I was curious about who wrote the song, so today I did a little research. It turns out the song was based on a French poem, Minuit, ...

• Tough questions, and an age-old lie

  
  Run the Earth, Watch the Sky... — Authority: 131
  After a brief hiatus, today were plunging back into our "how could a good God..." series. Ready for todays question? Is it wrong to serve God and live righteously because it benefits us? This is an important question to consider, as our knee-jerk reaction to suffering often boils down to, "why me, God? Ive ...

  theologer — Authority: 111
  "Light is sweet, and it is pleasant for the eyes to see the sun." - Ecclesiastes 11:7 My wife says this should be my life verse. Im obsessed with sunlight for my mental stability. Unfortunately we live in one of the grayest places on earth. Although we did just get permission next summer, and its a mental stability ...

• Enjoying life in a broken world

  
  Run the Earth, Watch the Sky... — Authority: 131
  As weve been discussing in our "How Could a Good God..." series, our world is truly, dreadfully broken. While I think that it is imperative that we be honest and take a sincere look at the brokenness and pain that surround us, God doesnt intend for us to be walking around like spiritual Eeyores! One of the many ...

• The Return of Abortion as a National Issue

  
  Stupidica — Authority: 177
  King Solomon said in the Book of Ecclesiastes there’s nothing new under the sun. Women have killed or attempted to kill their unborn babies throughout human history, way before 1973, when the Supreme Court found a long-hidden, deeply buried “right of privacy” in the U.S. Constitution to have abortions. Roe v. Wade ...

• You Must Obey the Dance Commander

  
  Prosso Speaks — Authority: 114
  Instead of a normal first dance, Sam and I have decided to flip out for two and a half minutes: The best thing about this is that you are unsure whether or not Im joking. Is it possible that at the reception I will only answer to "Dance Commander"? The better question is: Is it probable? I came back from the ...

• Was Solomon Wrong to Ask for Wisdom?

  
  James' Thoughts and Musings — Authority: 128
  I finished David Carrs From D to Q yesterday. I made an error in my last post: I said that Carr thought that the Deuteronomist inserted the part of I Kings 3 in which Solomon goes to Jerusalem to sacrifice. Actually, he says that an Adonai editor did that. The Adonai editor overlaps with the Deuteronomist in ...

• Quote of the Day: To Fear God

  
  Scripture Zealot — Authority: 125
  I like this succinct explanation of fearing God in Eaton’s commentary on Ecclesiastes : The way of safety is to fear God . In the wisdom tradition the ‘fear’ of God is the awe and holy caution that arises from realization of the greatness of God: ‘Splendour… terrible… majesty… power… justice… ...

• Caught between two worlds

  
  Run the Earth, Watch the Sky... — Authority: 131
  Thinking back through our "How Could a Good God..." series thus far, we talked about the vanity and futility of life in a world corrupted by sin and suffering under Gods judgments of the curse . This one event is the root cause of our struggle with death , and the rampant sin and injustice which fills our lives ...

• Oh Happy Day 111309: Seasons

  
  EyeJunkie — Authority: 123
  Happy Friday, again! My Oh Happy Day gratitude project has seriously fallen through the cracks over the last few weeks, as has my “5 grateful things” habit that was intended to fuel it. Nonetheless, with the Thanksgiving holiday looming, now seems like the perfect time to revitalize my own version of “thank God ...

• Ecclesiastes

  
  Marc Lloyd's 'Miscellanies' — Authority: 417
  If anyone knows of any convincing structures or useful outlines of the book of Ecclesiastes (especially ones that lend themselves to a sermon series maybe of about 6 sermons!) Id love to hear about them. This from Barry Webb drawing on de Jongs 1992 work has the look of objectivity about it: 1:1 ...

• preoccupied

  
  Jesus community — Authority: 115
  In thinking through Ecclesiastes , one of a number of things that stands out is how the one "under the sun" learned, one might say, to keep themselves preoccupied with the good things of life, even including their work. Ecclesiastes is a challenging book to figure out, and how to read it with reference to the whole, ...

• He weeps with us

  
  Run the Earth, Watch the Sky... — Authority: 131
  Of all the things we face in our broken world, nothing haunts us like death. No doubt, funerals for children and friends in their prime are devastatingly difficult. But there is no good time for death. Solomons struggle with the issue of death is one we all can relate to. In Ecclesiastes 1:1-11 Solomon starts ...
