How dieth the wise as the fool


WE CAME INTO THE WORLD WITH NOTHING AND WE SHALL LEAVE THE SAME WAY.
AND HOW DIETH THE WISE MAN? AS THE FOOL.
Have you heard churches say, putting God first is coming to church every time the church doors is open. If you don't then you are unfaithful. It's funny, I read no where in the Bible, where we are unfaithful if we don't attend a church every week. But I do read in a lot of places, what will cause you to be unfaithful, and it's not whether you attend church every week or not. People just don't understand the scriptures. I read of Paul, and it seems to me he didn't get to attend church two or three times a week. Seems he spent most of his time in jail or trying to convert sinners. He was ship wrecked, beat, in jail, hungry, naked. I don't read where he got a chance to attend services much. All people think serving God is, just going to church two or three times a week. Their is a lot more to it than that. It's good to attend church. But I believe we ought to be so busy for God out side of church that it often hinder's our attendance.
What about the ones that are sick and can't attend. Where is their faithfulness. A lot of preachers are preaching foolishness. We are destroyed for lack of knowledge. I am in bondage to no man. I am in bondage to Jesus Christ. I don't need man's approval any more. I only need God's approval. For he is the one that I am going to have to face on judgement day. No one will be there but me and Jesus. And thank God I don't have to meet man's requirments to make it to heaven. I set and listen to preachers preach. Sincere but sincerely wrong. Blind leading the blind. Serving God is so simple. Just remember to listen to God and not man. As for me I vow to serve God this time and don't care what man thinks of me. I seek to please only God. If I seek to please man, I can't be a servant of God. We cannot be above our master, if they called him the devil. They will call you the same. If they don't, maybe you are not a threat to the devil's kingdom. My love, my life, my confidence is in Jesus not the church and the preacher. If we build on these foundations, (people, churches, preachers) we will fall. We have got to build our foundation on Jesus. Everything will vanish away. But God and his word will be for ever and ever no end. All is vanity under the sun, except Jesus. We will fade and die like the flower. Here today and gone tomorrow. Why not lay up treasures in heaven where no one can break in and steal. All is vanity and vexation of spirit.
Ecclesiastes 2:1.. I said in mine heart, Go to now, I will prove thee with mirth, therefore enjoy pleasure: and, behold, this also is vanity.
2. I said of laughter, it is mad: and of mirth, what doeth it?
3. I sought in mine heart to give my self unto wine, yet acquainting mine heart with wisdom; and to lay hold on folly, till I might see what was that good for the sons of men, which they should do under the heaven all the days of their life. 4. I made me great works; I builded me houses; I planted me vineyards;
5. I made me gardens and orchards, and I planted trees in them or all kind of fruits.
6. I made me pools of water, to water there with the wood that bringeth forth trees.
7. I got me servants and maidens, and had servants born in my house; also I had great possessions of great and small cattle above all that were in Jerusalem before me.
8. I gathered me also silver and gold, and the peculiar treasure of kings and of the provinces; I got me men singers and women singers, and the delights of the sons of men, as musical instruments, and that of all sorts.
9. So I was great, and increased more than all that were before me in Jerusalem: Also my wisdom remained with me.
10. And whatsoever mine eyes desired I kept not from them, I withheld not my heart from any joy; for my heart rejoiced in all my labor; and this was my portion of all my labor.
11. Then I looked on all the works that my hands had wrought, and on the labor that I had labored to do: and behold all was vanity and vexation of spirit and there was no profit under the sun. 12 And I turned myself to behold wisdom, and madness, and folly: for what can the man do that cometh after the King? even that which hath been already done.
13. Then I saw that wisdom excelleth folly, as far as light excelleth darkness.
14. The wise man's eyes are in his head; but the fool walketh in darkness; and I myself perceived also that one event happeneth to them all.
15. then said in my heart, as it happeneth to the fool, so it happeneth even to me. and why was I then more wise? Then I said in my heart, that this also is vanity.
16. For there is no remembrance of the wise more than of the fool for ever; seeing that which now is in the days to come shall all be forgotten.
AND HOW DIETH THE WISE MAN? AS THE FOOL.
