His Application Eccl : He tried labor, now he tries learning. Some things cannot be solved and some things we can never find out. If there is nothing but nothing under the sun, our only hope must be above it. If a man who had everything, investigated everything visible, then the one thing needed must be invisible. What does this have to do with this chapter? Solomon pondered the idea of time! Every day we are given 86, second, 1, minutes, or 24 hours.
Regardless of who we are, we all have the same amount of time. Thirty minutes for a student awaiting the closing bell is different from that of a convicted murderer on death row who will in thirty minutes receive a lethal injection. This is life as it occurs. God determines both.
Timing is everything. What is it you need to plant or uproot? Weeping and Laughter Eccl — Some who are weeping long for laughter. Mourning and Dancing Eccl — Consider death, divorce, marriage and birth. Life swings from grief to joy. Keep and Throw Away Eccl — Have you checked your garage, attic or closet lately? Silence and Speaking Eccl — We need to know when to speak up and shut up! War and Peace Eccl — War is sometimes necessary.
How about being a peacemaker in your church. See the tension? Each negative cancels out the positive. See verse 9. Life without God is the pits! Until He fills the vacuum life will never have meaning. When he does fill a heart, he does four things. He Make Life Stable Eccl — God teaches us lessons, sometimes repeatedly, until we learn them.
You can take it seriously, or you can take it over. Sadly, some never learn. See verse Wickedness is winning. Without God people become beast-like in their nature and actions. Let him take your mess and make a miracle. Conclusion : Without God there is no purpose or meaning.
Introduction : Late in life Solomon strayed form God. Warren Wiersbe lists four places Solomon visited: The courtroom, marketplace, highway and palace. I note he sees at least three classes of people: The oppressor Eccl , the aggressor Eccl , and successor Eccl Let me introduce you to eight characters alluded to in this chapter: 1.
Solomon went looking around his world. We should look around our world as well. When we do we will see the same things Solomon saw. When we look around what will we see? Innocent people oftentimes get shafted. Lot at what Solomon saw. It reads like the morning headlines. Oppression — The ego-driven, power hungry maniac wants to dominate. The poor are downtrodden and heartbroken. Confession — Eccl This is not an argument justifying abortion or suicide. Hang in there.
See The laborer drives. The loafer drifts. Solomon had no sympathy for the lazy Proverbs , neither did Paul 2 Thess. Bring your labor and leisure into balance. Working Eccl — Two can get more done.
Two makes the difficult jobs easier. Winston Churchill was at a gathering where he was introduced and received a rousing ovation. Churchill, it must be very rewarding to get such applause from so many people. Meet it head on. Make the most of it. Introduction: What is this title all about? I want to communicate. In chapter 4 Solomon went to the courthouse. In this chapter we find him at the church house temple. When you think about it, the church house he attended — he built!
The tragedy was his worship did little to change his ways. He teaches us the futility of insincere worship. Solomon offers to us some basic counsel on worship when going to the church house:. Guard Your Steps Eccl — approach with care. Come with reverence. Take off your shoes because you are standing on holy ground! God is present! Others read, talk or write notes. Some just listen and leave. You can do all those things later, but for now you had better pay attention!
Lend Your Ears Eccl — God has his ears on, do you? Because God is communicating. Control Your Mind Eccl — Stop daydreaming. Stop drooling. Many sit in church and think of everything but God. You vowed it — you keep it. Keep your word. He takes our promises seriously.
This is no time for games! Let me comment on verses Now, onto the subject of wealth. The issue here is making the pursuit of wealth your priority or primary purpose in life. The man was loaded, but he was also miserable. For those whose goal is money, take careful notes. See 1 Tim.
Enough is never enough. Only God can satisfy. Ever noted all the leeches, parasites and blood-suckers of society who attach themselves to someone who has money? He spends all his time guarding his fortune. We depart as we came — in our birthday suit without a skinny penny! Accept Your Lot — mentioned twice. Accept your station. The grass is not always greener on the other side. Laugh more. Lighten up. Be content with Jesus. Conclusion : Externally, everything looks good.
But what about the internal? Mick Jagger is a rock star. To whom is Solomon referring. See John ; Gal. Is it circumstances, things, people, worry, adversaries, sickness, family conflicts?
When we focus more on the gifts than the giver, God has a way of causing us not to enjoy the gifts! It is then we start to question and evaluate God. More kids may not get you out of depression, but may drive you further into it. When they are teens they live on another planet. They only stayed around long enough for the reading of the will! Not given a name was thought to help the parents get over their grief quicker. Such is the case of the unfilled life of a rich man.
Why work? So we can eat. Why eat? So we can live add years to our life. Note the word appetite v. Remember the story of Mary and Martha? The most important moments of your day will not be at your desk, but in your prayer closet! The real thing you see is better than the dreams you hope for. In the text NIV you will find six questions Eccl , 8, 11, The fact is, some questions can never be answered! Let me make three observations from these verses. Chapter seven begins a turning point as Solomon starts looking back to God and his wisdom.
In our last message we noted what benefits wisdom can bring. I want to show you give particular people and offer some practical pointers to each. Do a good study of Psalm 73 and you will discover valuable insight. Keep in mind this is a generalization. It bothered him. It bothers us too. How do you explain it? I can offer insight into whereabouts. Illustrate this with the story of the rich man and Lazarus Luke They have all the answers — even to Eccl In reality, they are nothing more than a pain in the rear end.
Eat, drink and be merry. What Solomon is arguing for is balance. Trust God. Love God. You need to rethink that! Your imagination is run amok! God, along, is absolute perfection. None of us are squeaky clean. You begin to read too many of your own press reports. He thought every time the teams gathered in the huddle they were talking about him! Not everybody is out to get you. In his pioneering what did he find? Wisdom is a gift form God James He turned to try to understand wickedness.
That leads me to the second idea. Look at old bald head with his bifocals, bunions and bulges. But listen and learn from a man who was a sexual animal 1, wives. It never satisfied him. Introduction : In chapter 8 Solomon continues his theme on wisdom. Allow me to shed some light on three arenas: authority, agony and academics. Let me put it this way. These verses are for all who are in leadership positions.
Everyone of us is affected by authority. Here is good advice for every CEO, supervisor, manager or foreman. But I want to use these verses to speak to those in positions of spiritual leadership. Underscore these words. Explanation Eccl — The leader should be able to see the big picture. It means to have a solution; to explain the difficult.
Let your mind grow! Leaders need wisdom that will beam them up! In other words, have a cheerful disposition. Laughter is vital to a balanced life and ministry. Fix your face. What comes out of your mouth sets the tone and direction for your followers. Be tactful and diplomatic. The point is God has put you where you are so use good judgment. Know the proper time to do what ought to be done. Be calm and stead when trouble abounds. Limitation Eccl — Learn your limitations.
We are finite. This should produce a humble, teachable spirit. There are some who try. They use and abuse and wind up losing. Warren Wiersbe in his book Be Satisfied, has a good approach to this passage. He notes four possible responses. Disobedience Eccl , 4, 5 ; 2. Desertion Eccl ; 3. Defiance Eccl b ; 4. Discernment Eccl b Wisdom will help figure out the right thing at the right time. Now listen, we need to be wise leaders who manifest these traits. Because of this second idea as follows.
We need wise leaders who bear the traits mentioned about in order to help others find the meaning of life. His Funeral Is Outrageous Eccl — What good is it if you have an impressive, stately funeral and your soul is in hell? His Folly Is Contagious Eccl — He continued his ways because he thought he could get by with it. Do we ever stop to think that what we are or are not doing could be rubbing off on someone else?
She has stolen and lied and she seems to be getting along quite well. Come on sing! We be all night Sing! Coachella how did you wake up this morning?

Her memory is a little unclear as to whether the former stripper has actually ever given just a handjob before, so in addition to definitively popping her on-camera handjob cherry today, we may also be popping her handjob cherry in general! Well, we are more than thrilled to give her a completely guilt-free hands-on sexual adventure here on Strokies. Our Strokies guy cracks some jokes with her about having a micro dick all lies!
