Why should you choose to get out of bed tomorrow? What keeps you keeping on? How can life have joy when there is so much injustice? In the biblical book of Ecclesiastes chapter 9, of all places, the answer is found -- if you want it. Join Pastor and biblical Teacher Scott E. Slaughter in this study as he explains the meaning of this mostly forgotten text from the Bible. There is so much about life in a fallen world that is a cause for worry. Just in the last few weeks, we have witnessed thousands lose their lives through natural disasters in Maui, Morocco, and Libya alone. And much, much more! What are we to do? All of us condemn it; most of us entertain it; some of us fight it — we worry! The Bible teaches us that when we understand God's big picture better, we are able to put worry aside regarding things that only He can change so that we may enjoy the many wonderful things He has given us.
