We make decisions every day… from who am I going to vote for, to how to handle a conflict at work.  Or maybe it’s how will I spend my time!  Question is, will you go to the world’s wisdom or God’s, to aid in your decisions!  Today on Sound Doctrine Pastor Jeff Johnson underscores Ecclesiastes chapter ten, where you could say Solomon is playing the fool!  We can certainly learn a great deal from his mistakes, so our next decision can be a good and godly one!

Before his death, William Soroyan made this observation: “Everybody has got to die, but I have always believed an exception would be made in my case.  Now what?”  Each of us need to come to terms with the brevity of this life, and the reality of what’s to come in eternity.  And today on Sound Doctrine, Pastor Jeff opens Ecclesiastes chapter eight where we receive the truth about death, and what’s next!

If the rapture doesn’t occur in our lifetime, we all have an appointment with death.  Then comes the judgement and there are two eternal destinations.  What we do now with Christ, determines where we’ll spend eternity!  So it’s important to be prepared, and today’s study in Ecclesiastes chapter nine, will help us make sure we’re on the road that leads to eternal life.

While death is unavoidable, we can be prepared for it.  Maybe right now, you’d say you’re afraid of death?  I think that would describe a great many in our world.  We hope to help calm those fears today on Sound Doctrine as we present what the Bible has to say about death, the final frontier.

Every day people are dying all over the world and one day you and I will have our appointment with death, if the rapture doesn’t occur first.  It’s unavoidable!  And we’ve been reminded this year that life is unpredictable too!  So what is the best way to live, in light of that fact?  How can we be prepared?  Ecclesiastes gives us a good answer to that question, and that’s where we’re headed on Sound Doctrine.

We’re going through Ecclesiastes from start to finish.  2020 has been quite a year…. And if you’re like many you’ve been shaking your head in disgust, as you view what’s been taking place.  But how should the Christian respond to evil, and the inequity we see around us?  That’s the question of the day, as we turn in our Bibles to Ecclesiastes chapter eight. 
November 18, 2020
As evil is on the rise and even being celebrated and encouraged, it can be really frustrating to the Christian living in the midst of it all.  So much so, you might feel like giving up or giving in!  But there’s wisdom to be found in God’s Word to help us deal with this very real issue.  We’ll bring it to you today on Sound Doctrine, as Pastor Jeff Johnson revisits Ecclesiastes chapter eight.
