This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... As Solomon concludes this sacred writing, he characterizes the nature of the collection (Eccl. 12:9-12) and draws a final conclusion (Eccl. 12:13-14). He calls for two actions: "fear God and keep His commandments." The order of these calls is essential. Worship precedes obedience. Keeping God's commandments is impossible without the ne...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... As we approach the concluding section of Ecclesiastes, we will notice Solomon commanding his readers to invest their lives wisely while life lasts (11:1-6), knowing that life holds both wonderful blessings and many days of darkness (11:8; see also v. 2).

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Life circumstances bring to our attention the foolishness of man. Our tendency towards foolishness is revealed in 1) common elements of life (Ecclesiastes 10:3), 2) governmental decisions (vv. 4-7), 3) pursuits of our wants and needs (vv. 8-11), our words (vv. 12-14, 20), our lack of direction (v. 15), and our lack of discretion (vv. 1...

In light of of the randomness of life and the uncertainty of when we...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... When we think that all of life's matters are under our control, there is an unbearable weight that presses down on us. If we think that blessing and trouble rest upon whether we act in certain ways, our view of life will be distorted and we will be very frustrated. Solomon clearly states that no one can fully grasp the way life works (...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Common wisdom has wonderful benefits in this life. It enables us to deal properly with authority (Eccl. 8:1-6) and the anomalies of life (vv. 14-15). However, it will not give us the ability to know the future (vv. 7-8) or to understand all of the intricacies of how life works (vv. 16-17). True wisdomthat which comes from Godenables us...

This Sunday at Cornerstone Church... Life presents many statistical improbabilities. Sometimes we see people overcome these improbabilities, and we are amazed. But life also presents many impossibilities. One of these impossibilities is the resurrection of the dead. No man has power over the dead. God, on the other hand, is not bound by natural law. He rules over the crea...
