11th Study: Ecclesiastes 11:1-10 After ten chapters, I know some of you think that the Book of Ecclesiastes is a stark, even bleek book in the Bible. Hmmm...I can see that. However, I believe Solomon's journey through wisdom doesn't sugarcoat life in all its facets....
Wisdom of Marion Vol 1.33 (Ecclesiastes 10:1-20)
by MHill | Jul 2, 2011 | Study of Ecclesiastes, Wisdom From Kammbia Column
10th Study: Ecclesiastes 10:1-20 The overarching theme to Chapter 10 for me is that how does one use wisdom and having wisdom still can make you vulnerable to indiscretion and sin at any time. Pastor Meyers writes this: Wisdom is a god-given gift that will bring you...

7th Study: Ecclesiastes 7:1-29 Well, it seems like the deeper I've gotten into the study of Ecclesiastes, the more life has started to happen to keep me from doing it. I was sick most of this week and even had to visit the hospital. Everything is much better now. ...
Wisdom of Marion Column Vol 1.29 (Ecclesiastes 6:1-12)

6th Study: Ecclesiastes 6:1-12 Chapter 6 could be the most vague and somewhat confusing chapter in our study of Ecclesiastes. However, I'm beginning to believe it could be the most poignant in the study so far. I would like to start with Pastor Meyers writing this:...

5th Study: Ecclesiastes 5:1-20 I just wanted to let everyone that the schedule for study I posted a few weeks{Wisdom of Marion Column Vol 1.24} back has been changed. There is so much rich material to cover in Ecclesiastes that I will go one chapter at a time until...

4th Study: Ecclesiastes 3:16-4:16 Well, I must admit I didn't think I would be able to put this study together in time. It seems like life always gets in the way of something you look forward to doing. Okay, now that I vented...let's get on with it. Ecclesiastes 3...
