Running On Empty (1 of 10)
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Ecclesiastes 1-2
What a privilege to be with Dr. Fallwell and to be on the campus of the great Liberty University! I have prayed for God to use these next few minutes to forever change your life. You see .. God wants to forever set you free from the monster of materialism and the god of greed! So .. take your Bible and join me in the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. You say, ''Ernest, that's a funny name for a book of the Bible: Ecclesiastes.''
Well .. you're going to find that the name of this book may be funny . . . but not the nature of this book! The title of the book may be funny .. but not the truth found in it. You see . . .. it's from the book of Ecclesiastes that you're going to learn about a man .. like some of you .. who got away from God! I mean this man simply left God out of his life and then wondered why he wasn't happy!
And I dare say that there are some students here this morning that are trying to be happy without God! Some of you are spending your life searching for real happiness and satisfaction and contentment without God! No wonder you're fed-up with life! You need to know that You may possess the whole world .. but without Jesus Christ, you cannot be satisfied! It's not your goods that satisfy. . . it's God! It's not your jewels that satisfy . . .. It's Jesus. It's not your silver that satisfies . . . it's the savior!
''I'd rather have Jesus than silver or gold; I'd rather be His than riches untold; I'd rather have Jesus than houses or lands. I'd rather be led by His nail-pierced hand.'' That's what the book of Ecclesiastes is all about: MAN'S QUEST FOR THE BEST. I want to show you from God's Word how Man's Quest for the Best often times leaves a person ''running on empty.'' Let's begin reading in chapter 1 verse 1 as we think together about . . . ''Running On Empty'' Ecclesiastes 1.1-3
Here's a book that describes a lot of people today. Their pockets are f ...
