Remember Your Creator
1 Remember now thy Bo're (Creator) in the yamim of thy bechurot, while the yamei hara'ah come not, nor the shanim draw nigh, when thou shalt say, I have no chefetz (pleasure) in them; 2 While the shemesh, or the ohr, or the yarei'ach, or the kokhavim, be not darkened, nor the clouds return after the rain; 3 In the yom when the shomrei habayit shall tremble, and the strong men shall stoop, and the grinders cease because they are few, and those that look out of the windows grow dim, 4 And the delatayim (doors) shall be shut in the street, when the sound of the grinding fades, and he shall arise at the sound of a tzipor (bird), and all their banot hashir (daughters of song) are brought low; 5 Also when they shall be afraid of height, and fears shall be in the derech, and the almond tree shall blossom, and the grasshopper drags himself along, and desire shall fail; because haAdam goeth to his bais olam (eternal home), and the mourners go about the streets; 6 Or ever the silver cord be loosed, or the golden bowl be broken, or the pitcher be broken at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the bor (cistern). 7 Then shall the aphar return to ha'aretz as it was; and the ruach shall return unto HaElohim who gave it. 8 Hevel havalim, saith Kohelet; all is hevel.
9 And moreover, because Kohelet was chacham, he taught the people da'as; yea, he applied, and searched out, and set in order many meshalim (proverbs). 10 Kohelet searched to find out divrei chefetz; and that which was written was yosher, even divrei emes.
11 Divrei chachamim are like goads, and like nails firmly fixed are the collected sayings that are given by Ro'eh Echad (One Shepherd). 12 And further, by these, beni, be admonished; of making many sefarim there is no ketz; and much study is a weariness of the basar.
13 Let us hear the sof (conclusion) of the whole matter; Fear HaElohim, and of His commandments be shomer mitzvot; for this is the whole duty of haAdam. 14 For HaElohim shall bring kol ma'aseh (every work) into mishpat (judgment), with every ne’lam (secret thing, concealed thing), whether it be tov (good), or whether it be rah (evil). — Ecclesiastes 12 | Orthodox Jewish Bible (OJB) Orthodox Jewish Bible Copyright © 2002, 2003, 2008, 2010, 2011 by Artists for Israel International.

The Morning Devotional for October 12, 2023 The Westminster Confession of Faith 32.1-2 I.

VAPOUR? | THE END OF IT (ECC. 11:1-12:14)
VAPOUR? | THE END OF IT (Ecc. 11 &12) In light of the tensions we face, the unanswered questions, the pain and joy, the disorientation we feel on a daily basis, the response the Narrator gives is, ‘keep having a faith that worships and a faith that walks'
Here’s my longer sermon notes from this morning’s Metro Christian Centre service (dated 23rd April 2023), concluding our series VAPOUR?. This series explores our search for meaning, journeying through the enigmatic book of Ecclesiastes. You can also catch up with this via MCC’s YouTube channel (just give us time to get the video uploaded). ‘My dear partner; When what’s left of you gets around…

Gathering of Books
Erudition was my employ,
Reviving what was once contrived,
Illuminating disarray,
Scholared words where minds derived.
.
An eternal thirst broke my desire,
Set my soul and heart on fire,
And a hunger for the soul's release,
Unguarded my will to tire.
.
As a phantom of the obsolete,
I feasted like a famished beast,
As a lance through the obelisk,
The greatest became my least.
.
A gratuitous vat, now deposed of will,
Awoken to stagnation, whole,
Reviling what had been revealed,
That my wisdom now condemned my soul.
.
To gather every kind of fate,
Required my fatality,
Where wisdom wished in confidence,
Untruth became reality.

"THERE'S DANGER IN TWISTING SCRIPTURE!"
Deuteronomy 4:2, “Now listen, Israel, listen carefully to the rules and regulations that I am teaching you to follow so that you may live and enter and take possession of the land that God, the God-of-Your-Fathers, is giving to you. DON’T ADD A WORD TO WHAT I COMMAND YOU, AND DON’T REMOVE A WORD FROM IT. Keep the commands of God, your God, that I am commanding you.” (MSG) Ecclesiastes 3:14-15,…

9 Bahwa orang dua baik dari pada seorang orang, karena sedaplah bagi mereka itu hasil pekerjaannya. 10 Maka jikalau jatuh, seorang dapat membangkitkan seorangnya; tetapi wai bagi dia yang seorang orang sahaja apabila ia jatuh, karena tiada jodohnya akan membangkitkan dia pula. 11 Demikianpun jikalau dua orang berbaring bersama-sama, maka tubuh keduanya bersuhu adanya, tetapi ia yang seorang orang bagaimana gerangan diberinya bersuhu tubuhnya. 12 Maka jikalau kiranya seorang orang dapat dialahkan, dua orang akan berdiri tetap juga dan tali yang tiga lembar itu tak suang-suang putus.
9 Two are better off than one, because together they can work more effectively. 10 If one of them falls down, the other can help him up. But if someone is alone and falls, it's just too bad, because there is no one to help him. 11 If it is cold, two can sleep together and stay warm, but how can you keep warm by yourself? 12 Two people can resist an attack that would defeat one person alone. A rope made of three cords is hard to break. — Ecclesiastes 4:9-12 | Indonesian Terjemahan Lama (IndLama) and Good News Translation (GNT) The Indonesian Terjemahan Lama Bible translation was converted automatically from data files made available by the Unbound Bible Project and Good News Translation® (Today’s English Version, Second Edition) © 1992 American Bible Society.

I really love the way the Christians in my church will look at me when I talk about things that interest me, like video games and anime and manga. They often look like they just want to tell me to grow tf up. They look like they never once considered the possibility that maybe God gave me these interests so that I can relate to certain other people in this world, people who have, themselves, been deemed as outcasts by the Christian community for their love of games and anime and manga.
God doesn't just sit in a church and preach. He can't only be found by volunteering for non-profit religious groups. "Whatsoever thy hand findeth to do, do it with thy might" (Ecclesiastes 9:10). Do you know why this verse is in there? Okay, yeah, part of it is because people like to be lazy and they need to be reminded that God made us to work for Him. But I think it's partly also because God sometimes gives the "uncomely members" of the church (1 Corinthians 12:23) talents and/or interests that are niche or cringe. And He expects us to use those talents and interests, no matter how small and insignificant they might seem to be (Matthew 25:14-30).
Not everything that comes into our hearts and minds is from God (in fact, a good majority of it is NOT), but if you enjoy something that doesn't go against God's Word, then maybe, just maybe that thing IS from God, and maybe you should get to explore it and enjoy it and give God a chance to show you whether He wants you to use it or not.
Delight thyself also in the Lord: and he shall give thee the desires of thine heart. Psalm 37:4
The meaning of this verse is somewhat debated. No one can decide whether it means that God will give you the things that you desire, or whether He gives you the desires themselves. So I think it means both. He gives you the desire itself, and then He makes something out of it.

Ecclesiastes 4:12 (NLT) - A person standing alone can be attacked and defeated, but two can stand back-to-back and conquer. Three are even better, for a triple-braided cord is not easily broken.

The Importance of Humility in Overcoming Conceit
In our journey towards spiritual fulfillment, understanding the balance between conceit and humility is crucial. Each of these qualities plays a significant role in shaping not only our personal growth but also our relationships and worldview.
Overcoming Conceit: A Guide to Spiritual Discipline Ecclesiastes 1:13; 1 Corinthians 8:1; Romans 12:16; Genesis 8:21 In a world where self-promotion often takes center stage, the challenge of balancing humility with conceit is more pressing than ever. We often find ourselves grappling with the idea of how to acknowledge our own achievements without slipping into vanity. Biblically speaking,…
