We are already following another presidential election year (and it's still a year away!). And certainly, it is a blessing to live in a land and time of representative government and great personal freedom. Yet we have plunged into a season of unprecedented societal change. Will Christ's followers always enjoy the civil liberties we openly gather under this Lord's Day? (Remember: freedom is like a garden – it must be tended if we are to enjoy its fruits!) Meanwhile, spin the globe and put your finger almost anywhere else on the planet, and the Church is not enjoying nearly so much civil and cultural liberty… How will you walk your faith in the context of the civil and cultural times in which God has placed you?
Join me today in Ecclesiastes 8:1-17 (today: 1-11; next week: 12-17)
Ecclesiastes' Preacher was Israel's King! The wisest man of his day and keenly interested in leadership, power, and civil authority.
The king's pursuit of wisdom and fulfillment provide…
Five principles for living wisely under an earthly king. (Today) 1. You can't ignore the king's authority (vv.2-6). 2. You must understand the king's limits (vv.7-8). 3. You might suffer under the king's evil (vv.9-11). (Next week - Lord willing) 4. You can rejoice in the King of kings (vv. 12-15) 5. You should consider a wise king's conclusions (v.1; vv.16-17).
