    There are times it’s worthwhile to figure out what Jesus "didn’t mean."

    OPENING: A woman read ahead as we were going through this text and was troubled by the phrase: "do not turn away from the one desiring to borrow from you." It wasn’t that she didn’t give to those in need... her problem was that she was giving so much away, that she barely had enough left for ...read more

    Dr. Wood shows his listeners that life is not fair as we know it, he uses this passage to show that Solomon wants people to live above this world.

    When Solomon first began His book of Ecclesiastes He looked at life from an overall philosophical view point. This is to say he was looking at it from a wisdom point of view. He said that life was al meaningless and just continued like a snowball rolling down hill. As King Solomon got to look ...read more

    The defence of God’s fairness

    PSALM 19:9 "IS GOD FAIR?"

    God is not fair in the way he deals with us. For that we can be thankful. Instead of being fair, he shows us mercy and grace.

    “The Unfairness of God” Psalm 103:8-10 June 20, 2004 When was the last time you felt like you were treated unfairly? When did you last think, “That’s not fair”? It doesn’t matter what it was about, it could have been anything. You just simply felt that whatever it was that happened, it wasn’t ...read more

    Some people want more from God and some don't. You will never experience more of God if you don't put yourself in a position to know more of God.

    That’s not Fair! Matthew 20:1-16 Introduction- This week at District Assembly was amazing! I linked the minister’s choir to my Facebook page because it was so good. Platform full of ministers and you could sense God’s anointing as they sang. I think of all the great ...read more

    Sermon for Kids. Written to help them understand the topic of fairness in God's eyes. This is a way of looking at salvation.

    That's Not Fair! Scripture: “But he answered one of them, 'Friend, I am not being unfair to you. Didn't you agree to work for a denarius? Take your pay and go. I want to give the man who was hired last the same as I gave you. Don't I have the right to do what I want with my own money? Or ...read more

    Solomon is troubled by the unfairness of life. But he was the king - why didn't he just legislate away injustice and punish all the wrong-doers and give away some his vast wealth to feed the poor? Why wouldn't that work?

    OPEN: Awhile back there was an article that appeared in a Kentucky newspaper which read: "I used to think I was poor. Then they told me I wasn't poor, I was needy. Then they told me it was self-defeating to think of myself as needy, that I was culturally deprived. Then they told me 'deprived' ...read more

    – Life is not fair. God is. – Philip Yancey (Disappointment With God)

    I like the comment that I recently read which said, “If you tell a man that there are 568,678,934,341 stars in the universe, he’ll believe you. But if a sign says, “Fresh Paint,” he has to make a personal investigation.” Certain things in life create questions that move us to “personal ...read more

    Life seems unfair to the disappointed, the cheated, the cynical. It was unfair to compel Simon to carry the cross -- injustice piled on. But God uses injustice to stir His people to action, to help us get beyond mere survival, to give us to one another.

    Life is not fair. It just isn’t. The playwright MacLeish has his character “J.B.” scream out something we are all afraid to say, but it might be true: “If God is God, He is not good; if God is good, He is not God.” What an awesome thing to think, let alone speak! “If God is God, He is not ...read more
