Description

Is life worth living? Solomon tackles this age-old question in Ecclesiastes, and in this episode, we dive deep into chapter 10 to uncover his answer: Yes, but only if we avoid folly by following God's wisdom.


We explore the destructive nature of folly, comparing it to a tiny dead fly spoiling precious perfume. Just like the flood destroyed those who ignored God's wisdom in Noah's time, folly can lead to devastation in our own lives.


This episode examines:



  • The nature of folly: Why are we inclined to do what's wrong?

  • The consequences of folly: How foolish words and actions sabotage our work and relationships.

  • The impact of foolish leadership: How authority figures who reject God's wisdom cause suffering.

  • The solution: How heeding Jesus' words, which are God's words, protects us from the destructive flood of sin and death.


Join us as we unpack practical steps to identify and reject folly, build our lives on the rock of God's wisdom, and truly live a life worth living.
