Jeremiah 19-22, Ecclesiastes 7:1-14, John 3:16-21, James 4:11-17 Ecclesiastes 7:1-14: This section about wisdom really needs to be read in context of some of the verses that immediately follow it. Consider verse 15, “In this meaningless life of mine…” and then verse 16, “Do not be over-righteous neither be over-wise…” Or verse 22, “’I am determined to be wise’—but this was beyond me.” He is “searching” but not “finding” (verse 28). In other words, while the first fourteen verses are full of much practical wisdom from which we can learn, the reason why they are here is to show us that even this kind of practical, pious wisdom is ultimately meaningless. Why? Because no one can really attain to the necessary wisdom that is required to experience the benefits of wisdom.

A Word From Josh
God's Design for the Church

This Month's Featured Resource from God Centered Life
During October at God Centered Life, we're offering a copy of Michael Reeves' book, Enjoy Your Prayer Life, with your gift of any amount. Sadly, most of us struggle to set aside time to pray. Michael Reeves shows us not only why prayer is so essential, but also how we can enjoy it too. Taking his cue from Calvin's definition that prayer is "the chief exercise of faith," Reeves helps us understand that prayer should be a natural expression of our faith. Just as faith is awakened as we grasp the wonders of the gospel, so prayer follows as our hearts respond to these glorious truths.
