A GOOD NAME IS BETTER THAN RICHES

PART 7/12 …OR CHAPTER 7 ON THE BOOK OF ECCLESIASTES

So many people are losing their minds in the world today. The Culture of Celebrity delights in building people up, only to tear them down. Many get to the finish line of life, only to stumble right before the tape – thereby blowing it all. We live in a time when one’s word does not seem to matter…where up is down and down is up.

It is and was never supposed to be like this. Hence the reason for my indepth TV series on the powerful Book of Ecclesiastes for the weekly Plumbline TV show. I went through a chapter per show, doing into the major themes and exhorting viewers to read the study the rest of the chapter themselves.

Chapter 7 really spoke to me about a critical need for everyone alive today, about how to travel the highway of life. You can read the entire chapter 7 here after watching the next 26.5 minutes of a teaching on it

 PLUMBLINE CAN BE SEEN EVERY WEEKEND @ 5am CENTRAL DAYLIGHT TIME HERE ONCHRISTIAN TELEVISION NETWORK AFFILIATE WLCF TV (streaming), AND EVERY TUESDAY NIGHT AT 9:30PM

A LIFE WELL LIVED (Parts 1 & 2)

PART 1 – HONOR

Living well….and finishing well, is the main goal of every level-headed person I know. Several of my friends have bucket lists and are fortunate enough to have the means to accomplish the items on that list, one by one. Given the brevity of life, we are more than encouraged to get the most out of life and there is nothing wrong or ungodly about giving it your best.

 This is what short series is about – A Life Well Lived. The first sign that God wants for us to “Live long and Prosper” can be found in the first commandment with a promise – The Fifth Commandment. God said “honor your father and mother that your days may be long, which the Lord your God has given you” (Exodus 20:12).  This is a horizontal or relational statute because it pertains to us on a human level. But because it comes from a Divine Source, it carries all the weight in the world.
This is the start of a life well lived – kabad in the original Hebrew – meaning glorify and treasure with respect your parents, because if you do – you will honor, revere, adore, glorify, magnify and lift up the Holy Name of God, from Whom all blessings flow! He has promised, if you do that, He will give you a long and fruitful life!
Are you living that today?
PART 2 – PERCEPTION

The woman said to Him, “Sir, I perceive that You are a prophet…John 4:19

Perception is the way we look at things, nay, at Life! Perception is everything because the way we look at life pulls in EVERYTHING we ever thought, believed and experienced. All of this influences our thinking and our actions. All of this influences our entire outlook. We then become creatures of our environment, allowing that plus our experiences to determine how we react.
Perception is significant to living well.  This is why a person’s worldview is so critical to his/her personal, emotional and spiritual well-being. Your worldview could be worldly – like most people in this country, and you can be just as deluded as they are about their eternal future. OR, you can choose to be informed and seek true wisdom, which comes from God (James 1:5).
