From The Old Testament


Ecclesiastes 3 (1-14)

A Time for Everything

There is a time for everything,
and a season for every activity under heaven:
a time to be born and a time to die,
a time to plant and a time to uproot,

a time to kill and a time to heal,
a time to tear down and a time to build,

a time to weep and a time to laugh,
a time to mourn and a time to dance,

a time to scatter stones and a time to gather them,
a time to embrace and a time to refrain,

a time to search and a time to give up,
a time to keep and a time to throw away,

a time to tear and a time to mend,
a time to be silent and a time to speak,

a time to love and a time to hate,
a time for war and a time for peace.

What does the worker gain from his toil?
I have seen the burden God has laid on men.
He has made everything beautiful in its time.
He has also set eternity in the hearts of men; yet they cannot fathom what God has done from beginning to end.
I know that there is nothing better for men than to be happy and do good while they live.
That everyone may eat and drink, and find satisfaction in all his toil—this is the gift of God.
I know that everything God does will endure forever; nothing can be added to it and nothing taken from it. God does it so that men will revere him.

Why do you have "an evil robot" avatar now Chico? I quite liked the other one. It took me months to work out it was a picture of Jebus.

To Chico: turn, turn, turn!

Ecclesiastes is the most interesing Book of the Bible as it represents the secular view of the World.

All is Vanity ...

Ahh yes - I removed it as a result of a sermon I heard at the weekend.

do you mean it was right before but now its wrong ?

My parents used to be God-botherers (sorry, I mean humble worshippers), and at one point were very involved in the Church. They are not so now, but thats a different story.
They are about to move house, and I've been helping them clear out their loft. We discovered many many Bibles - literally boxes and boxes of them (children's Bibles, teaching Bibles (??), sentimental gift Bibles etc) - all brand new (well, > 22 years old, but never used !)
We were going to flea-bay them (like theres a big demand for that kind of thing !), but maybe Chico would like to circumvent the process and buy direct ?? I can offer very reasonable prices and even bulk purchase discount

[PRC1964]

Sorry about that. It is work safe, though there are some slightly dodgy links.


It does feature a video so I guess that is the streaming media issue.
