19th in a series from Ecclesiastes. A few life lessons for us to apply in the face of the certainty of death.

Over the past two weeks, it seems like we’ve been barraged with a multitude of celebrity deaths – Farrah Fawcett, Karl Malden, Billy Mays, and, of course, Michael Jackson.

Judas Iscariot: Stuck In Frustration Series

Frustration means that we forget about others in our need to do what we want, and it means we are tempted to abandon God’s way. The model is Jesus, whose obedience gave Him the ultimate accomplishment.

God must have a sense of humor, don’t you think? God must do some things just because they are fun to do! Several years ago, I thought I saw God’s funny bone at work overtime.

Remembering, Reconnecting, And Rejoicing: What God Gives To The Grieving Series

Contributed by Joseph Smith on Apr 25, 2009

Grieving healthily means remembering both positive and negative; it means connecting with others who can love us and whom we can love. In His own time God will give joy.

One of the laws of life is: To get something, you must give up something. To gain, you must also lose. We call that the tradeoff principle. We operate on the tradeoff principle every day.

Where Is Your Heart In Relation To The World? Series

Contributed by Paddy Venner on Apr 28, 2009

Greatly inspired by Brian Houston’s book ’For this I was born’, this series seeks to change our paradigms about where we are positioned in life, and to make us realise that we are all a strategic placement of God for a purpose and a function.
