Episode 12 Ecclesiastes 2

This episode challenges listeners to a different school of thought when it comes to the pursuit of worldly things and wealth, leading to what we would call happiness. It focuses on the 2nd chapter of Ecclesiastes. The writer of Ecclesiastes (originally thought to be King Solomon but now some theologians believe otherwise) accounts for his pursuit of status, wealth, pleasure and how after amassing a large amount of wealth, it is all vanity. All of the toil and work ultimately lead to insignificance. This is likened to vapor and the properties of vapor as it dissipates. 

Listeners are challenged to ponder how this would change their pursuits in life recognizing that God is the source and how this would alter the lens we view life through. How would your change your pursuits if you knew that after all of the toil, it is insignificant and that there is nothing new to be gained?
