Sinking On The Ship Called Sin (6 of 10)
Dr. Ernest L. Easley
Ecclesiastes 7: 20
Now as we continue our study through the book of Ecclesiastes . . . turn please to chapter 7. For several weeks we've been reading this record of royalty! That's what the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes is all about. It's the journal of King Solomon and in it .. he records his quest for the best! Last Sunday we heard how Solomon described his soul. In fact .. his description reminds me of a lot of people today. Look if you will to chapter 6.1, ''There is an evil which I have seen under the sun ..'' All through the book of Ecclesiastes .. Solomon uses the expression ''under the sun.'' That's his way of describing life without God!
You see .. God never intended you to live life without Him! And what Solomon learned you need to learn: life without God is empty!
Now look if you will chapter 6.3, ''but his soul is not satisfied with goodness ..'' And again in verse 7, ''. . . And yet the soul is not satisfied.'' That's how Solomon described his soul! Not Satisfied. Now let me ask you a question. Why didn't King Solomon have a satisfied soul? Why don't you have a satisfied soul? Well . . . with that in mind .. look with me to chapter 7. It's from this chapter we find that the reason he had a soul problem is because he had a sin problem. And when you have a skin problem, you've got a soul problem.
Look if you will with me to Ecclesiastes 7.20, ''For there is not a just man on earth who does good and does not sin.'' Solomon discovered that life ''under the sun'' was like living on a sinking ship!
Now let me put that in terms you can understand: Life without God is like living on a sinking ship! Life without God is like traveling on the Titanic!
As the passengers boarded the Titanic in Southampton, England to begin their journey to New York City .. the designer of the ship boasted, ''Not even God could sink the Titanic.'' The 2220 passengers mov ...
