At least two-thirds of the Bible is about showing us our desperate need for Jesus Christ. The entire Old Testament is pointing to that need. Ecclesiastes is no different in that Solomon doesn’t give us much hope of a life lived under the sun without God. As we read into Ecclesiastes 9, verse 7 offers us the hope that we can live with the approval of God in our lives. 

Imagine, in your life, if you could live with a merry heart. Imagine if you could go through life knowing that the one whose approval matters most, your Creator, your God, has stamped your life with the stamp of approval. Would this change how you live your life? How you do things is transformed by how you think and feel about life. 

Pastor Dan offers the challenge to us to:

Live FROM the approval of God the Father and not FOR the approval of man.

Have you ever doubted your faith?  Faith by its nature invites moments of questioning and doubt. Thankfully, the Bible invites these doubts on a consistent basis. And yet, while the Bible invites our doubts the Bible calls for decisions to be made. We have to make a choice. While many things in life are gray, the most important things are not. God wants you, in love, to make a decision on the important things.

The object of opening the mind, as of opening the mouth, is to shut it again on something solid.  -G.K. Chesterton
