Remember that death comes

Eccles. 12:6-8
6 before the silver cord is snapped, or the golden bowl is broken, or the pitcher is shattered at the fountain, or the wheel broken at the cistern, 7 and the dust returns to the earth as it was, and the spirit returns to God who gave it. 8 Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher; all is vanity.
  • Why is it wise to remember your Creator before
    - your lamp holding the light of life is crushed
    - you can no longer draw the water of life
    - your body returns to dust
    - your spirit returns to God
  • Why does Solomon consider life under the sun as vanity and meaningless?
  • How does realizing that you were created by God help you accept life under the sun?
  • How would you live if you knew that you were merely a product of evolution?
  • How would you live if you knew that there was no God?
  • In what ways can you improve how you remember your Creator as your creator
