This page is a

Solomon wrote this book
to
save us
from
the unhappy journey
that he took.
A journey that leads to a dead end.
And David Guzik
makes this book easy to understand!
I pray that
you will consider watching the videos.
Each video
has
Great Insights.
They are worth your time.
They really are!
I have provided
an
Introduction
for those of you who are interested.
Author:
Solomon
who calls himself - Preacher
He was
King Solomon of Israel
and he was
Son of King David
Solomon
explored
every pleasure
- he was enormously rich with almost unlimited resources -
and
experienced
every activity
his mind could think of
to bring happiness and meaning to his life.
And everything left him
empty
and feeling despair.
- BUT -
He finally found
the
Secrets.
This book tells us how to find a life of
true fulfillment,
true meaning,
true purpose,
and
lasting joy.
At the end of this book, Solomon begs young people to learn these lessons from him instead of spending a lifetime learning things the hard way - or maybe not at all. |
Please share these insights with the teens you love.

David Guzik's written notes for teaching Ecclesiastes
I am endorsing these videos - not necessarily his other videos.
Solomon
began his journey
with an earthly view of life
instead of a
heavenly - minded view of life.
Most people spend
years, decades, and some their whole life,
running after
the things
that Solomon ran after.....
and Solomon got ALL of them.
And
Solomon found they were dead ends.

Ecclesiastes chapters 2-3
You cannot make sense of life apart from
God and an eternal perspective.
God deliberately built a system
of earthly life
that ends up being
meaningless and empty...
without
focusing on
a living, active, knowable God
to whom we must
one day give an account.

Ecclesiastes chapters 4-6
"If anything is worse than the addiction money brings, it is the emptiness that it leaves." Derek Kidner |
Wealth cannot satisfy.
It only makes you hungry for more.
At the first of the book,
Solomon
did not believe in an eternity
where God would judge him
for his actions.
So eternity was not influencing him.
Perhaps his pagan wives were influencing his view of what happens after you die.
The road of life
that ignores death and eternity
turns out to be
the most dangerous place of all
because
it is filled with traps.
Take Note:

Ecclesiastes chapters 7-9
The only way
this world makes sense
is in light of
eternity.
The rich and cruel man
can get
the best of life
and die an old man -
while the good man
can be plagued
with
problems, pain, and poverty.
BUT -
there is
true justice in eternity.
Luke 16:19-31.
There is no point
to life
other than
through the perspective of
eternity.

Before
continuing with
David Guzik...
I want to emphasize
a point that
David Guzik did not emphasize enough.
Most of you are wondering...
How did the
wisest man on earth,
make such
incredibly
unwise choices?
Answer:
The
Power of Sin
-
Solomon WAS the wisest man
BUT
he did not
continually dedicate himself to
obedience
to God.
Disobedience
can even override
wisdom.
We are in a dangerous place
when we think that
we are exempt from
sin
because of our
wisdom.
Beware
Do not underestimate the
POWER of YOUR
Sinful Desires.
“Sin will - take you farther
than you ever expected to go;
it will - keep you longer
than you ever intended to stay,
and it will - cost you more
than you ever expected to pay.”
Disclaimer about the speaker above:
I am not endorsing him - just his comments on Ecclesiastes on this video.
Solomon |
Obedience
to God's Word
Solomon was disobedient to God in many ways.
One Example:
Deuteronomy 7:3-4...
Do not to marry foreign spouses
because those spouses will turn your heart
toward their foreign gods.
Solomon ignored these Words of God.
And his foreign wives did turn Solomon's heart toward
their gods - which greatly angered the Lord.
Jesus said,
But
first and most importantly
seek
(aim at, strive after)
God's kingdom and His righteousness
[His way of doing and being right —
the attitude and character of God],
and all these things will be given to you also.
Matthew 6:33 AMP
Wise Words from Psalm 119
God, your word
I have treasured and stored in my heart,
That I may not sin against You.
Psalm 119:11 AMP

we conclude with
Ecclesiastes chapters 10-12
When we enter eternity
life will
make sense.
I will now present
the conclusion of the book.
Most people live each day
as though
God doesn't really matter.
They live each day - - without even thinking
about God.
Yet, we will one day face God.
And....
As David Guzik said,
"After this life, God will not ask you if you followed your heart."
To learn more about being right with God....
