The Danger Of Presumptous Living

Solomon says that visiting a funeral is greater than visiting a party. At a party, people think more about that night of festivity and folly. But at a funeral, we are inclined to think about eternity. James in our text, ask a great question; "What is Your Life?" It is even a vapor that appears for a little time and than vanishes away.
