The book of Ecclesiastes is a sermon. It is a message that must be preached. It is especially appropriate for us in our world at this particular time. It is a message that includes bad news and good news. The "bad news" has given the book a bad name. The reason for this is that the author does not give simple pat answers to complex problems. We are a people who are greatly infatuated with pat answers in life. Leave your pat answers to yourself and listen carefully to what God says. You will love Him even more as God reveals Himself to you through this sermon!
