Passage of the Day - April 11, 2011

Ecclesiastes 1:1-2

 1The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
    2"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher,
         "Vanity of vanities! All is vanity."

If you haven’t studied Ecclesiastes before, get ready for a Christian philosophical ride!  The writer is on a quest.  He is on a quest for purpose, a reason to live, a reason to do anything.  Nothing seems to be all that important or new.  Nothing is special.  A spirit of depression or disillusionment with life is gripping the writer.  We have been there and can relate.  I invite you to a great journey to discover what has meaning and what does not.  I invite you to Ecclesiastes!
