“Godless Earthly Life Is Empty – Part 1”
Sunday, March 2, 2025Key Verse
“Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labour that I had laboured to do: and, behold, all was vanity and vexation of spirit, and there was no profit under the sun” (Ecclesiastes 2:11).
Text —Ecclesiastes 2:1-12
Message
Today, with technology it is easy to explore places you have never travelled to. Many of such places look attractive but have hidden spiritual dangers for Christian youths. Young King Solomon pursued after worldly gains and pleasures. His research finding is an eye-opener and lesson for all. “It is vanity,” he declared. Indeed, Nehemiah Rogers was right when he stated that, “Worldliness and Christianity are two such ends that never meet.”
Dear friend, if you read what Steve Jobs of Apple fame stated about material acquisition as death stared him in the face, you would agree with King Solomon that, “all is vanity and vexation of spirit.” The pleasures that lure youngsters into crime have no lasting benefits. Many youths worship fashion, flashy cars and money. Some have been initiated into cults and sex slavery while seeking wealth without labour. They dupe innocent people across the globe and die at tender ages. Friend, before you lust after ungodly gain and fame think about eternity in hell. We brought nothing into this world and we shall depart with nothing. However eternal glory awaits the righteous.
