FAMILY THEME: THE PURPOSE OF LIFE

Ecclesiastes 11:9 - 12:14

Is it possible to be "so heavenly minded that we are of no

earthly good"? We are to live with "eternity's values in view".

But know also that what we do now is meaningful and colors

the eternal future of other and ourselves.

1.  Live With Judgment in Mind

     (Ecclesiastes 11:9-10)

     Life is fresh. Opportunity abounds. Youthful idealism

     and enthusiasm, at the peak of our physical and mental

     energies, is good.

 
2.  Live with Accountability to God in Mind

     (Ecclesiastes 12:1-8)

     The pursuit of life, liberty, and happiness are tempered

     and enhanced by the truth that we are created in God's

     image for a special purpose.

 
3.  Have Proper Reverence for God and Obey His Word

     (Ecclesiastes 12:9-14)

     Solomon's observations and conclusions are trustworthy

     and foundational in constructing a life.
