Understanding Scripture
My family and I visited the Georgia Aquarium yesterday in downtown ATL and, as part of that, saw an exhibit on the doomed Titanic (you know the story I hope).
What struck me most was the stuff we were looking at was things that were once very fancy and worth something to somebody. Now ... it's just an artifact. All of the people who were not the fortunate ones died and now all of the people who survived are now dead as well. For these reasons, all I kept thinking of during the exhibit was the book of Ecclesiastes. (go read it).
All of our works will be relegated to dust one day. The eternal life given to us through Jesus will remain. So WHYWHYWHY do we continue to worship the created instead of the Creator?
"This too is like chasing after the wind."
