Learn to Deal With It

Don’t Shortcut God’s Training Through Impatience and Anger

May 22, 2024 • Dr. John Waterloo • Ecclesiastes 7:7–10

Give

Eccl. 7:7 Surely oppression maketh a wise man mad; and a gift destroyeth the heart. 8 Better is the end of a thing than the beginning thereof: and the patient in spirit is better than the proud in spirit. 9 Be not hasty in thy spirit to be angry: for anger resteth in the bosom of fools. 10 Say not thou, What is the cause that the former days were better than these? for thou dost not enquire wisely concerning this.

Foolish Words

October 30, 2024 • Dr. John Waterloo • Ecclesiastes 10:11–15

Eccl. 10:11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better. Eccl. 10:12 The words of a wise man’s mouth are gracious; but the lips of a fool will swallow up himself. 13 The beginning of the words of his mouth is foolishness: and the end of his talk is mischievous madness. 14 A fool also is full of words: a man cannot tell what shall be; and what shall be after him, who can tell him? 15 The labour of the foolish wearieth every one of them, because he knoweth not how to go to the city.

Digging Your Own Grave

October 23, 2024 • Dr. John Waterloo • Ecclesiastes 10:8–10

Eccl. 8 He that diggeth a pit shall fall into it; and whoso breaketh an hedge, a serpent shall bite him. 9 Whoso removeth stones shall be hurt therewith; and he that cleaveth wood shall be endangered thereby. 10 If the iron be blunt, and he do not whet the edge, then must he put to more strength: but wisdom is profitable to direct. 11 Surely the serpent will bite without enchantment; and a babbler is no better.

Folly Will Destroy Christian Testimony

September 18, 2024 • Dr. John Waterloo • Ecclesiastes 10:1

Eccl. 10:1 Dead flies cause the ointment of the apothecary to send forth a stinking savour: so doth a little folly him that is in reputation for wisdom and honour.
