Socrates once said, “The unexamined life is not worth living.” Every choice, every decision, every opportunity must be examined, tested, and viewed with eternity in mind. This week in our #TimeMatters series, we’ll be looking at Solomon’s test of wisdom from Ecclesiastes 7:14-29.
G.K. Chesterton once said, “There are two ways to get enough. One is to continue to accumulate more and more. The other is to desire less.” If there’s one thing we can learn in the aftermath of Hurricane Matthew it’s this, everything is replaceable except life. As we clean up our “stuff”, we find ourselves…

If He doesn’t need your money and if He is not impressed with your abilities and is unmoved by your “sacrifices”, then what is it? What does God really want from you? As Solomon sits down to write chapter 5 of Ecclesiastes, we see a man struggling to find meaning in life. Life seems meaningless……

What fascinated me was what he said before he jumped. He said, “I know the whole world is watching right…
Do you ever feel like life is just one big hamster wheel? Does your life seem pointless? Do you feel like you’re living in this constant cycle of eat, sleep, go to work…. eat, sleep, go to work… repeat? Yet satisfaction just never seems to be within your grasp? Ravi Zacharias said, “No matter how…
C.S. Lewis in his book, Mere Christianity, stated the following about the word satisfaction: “If I find in myself desires which nothing in this world can satisfy, the only logical explanation is that I was made for another world.” As we wrap up our #Psalm23Series this Sunday, our attention now turns from all that was…
