"Wisdom is better than strength. Nevertheless the poor man's wisdom is despised, and his words are not heard" (Eccl. 9:16).Prejudice ad hominem is the darkest blindfold; therefore, the elite scholars and Pharisees of the day could have no regard for the words of Jes...
Dialectics of Defeat and Modern Anti-Society
“Modern capitalist society imposes loneliness upon men. In fact, this loneliness is a major theme of a lot of new writing and art. Modern society is anti-people.” ~ G.P. Deshpande (Dialectics of Defeat, p.8)This is truer of those men who have been detached from their classical family structure in order to cope with the system engendered by modern industrialization and technological economics. Thus, those who are migrating to the cities are succumbing to increased tensions rising from social isolation, the so-called attempts to build up an organizational...
The Venom of Sin
"Surely oppression destroys a wise man's reason, and a bribe debases the heart" (Eccl.7:7, NKJV).A whiff of sin is enough to deaden all sensitivity to truth and love - it's such a deadly venom. It alters the consciousness to suit a sinful lifestyle; therefore, the carnal mind is in rebellion against G...

Message by Dr. Matthew K. Thomas, Sunday, June 27, 2010Luke 10 shows us three scenes that tell us what we are in Christ:Scene 1: Ambassadors - We represent God (vv. 1-23) - The 70 that were sentScene 2: Imitators - We imitate God (vv.25-37) - The Good SamaritanScene 3: Worshippers - We listen to God (vv.38-42) - Martha and Mary------------------------#1 AMBASSADORS OF CHRIST1.

Oppression and the Poor Ecclesiastes 4-5
"... look! The tears of the oppressed, but they have no comforter - on the side of their oppressors there is power, but they have no comforter" (Eccl. 4:1). Why?..?"If you see the oppression of the poor, and the violent perversion of justice and righteousness in a province, do not marvel at the matter; for high official watches over high official, and higher officials are over them" (Ecc 5:8). Oppression and violent widespread injustice are symptoms of a fatally sick political system - the whole body throbs in ago...
The Lightning or The River of Light
This lightning blue has the blues dispelledFrom darkest heavens, with a peal of discord;Then, shimmering while the crackles distillIt recoils to strike in rhythmic chord -How variant are the lux and the buzzOf tributaries branching from this river of light!Socrates despises the beaming daylightWhere the value of light is distinctly nill;Socrates delights in the thundering nightWhen the cries of the day are blatantly stilled -The pride of man is quenched...
Ecclesiastes 1:2,3: the Meaning of Vanity
"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity." What profit has a man from all his labor in which he toils under the sun? (Eccl. 1:2,3). The man who labors for his own profit has missed the mark of life's true meaning. He lives a life that is equal to that of a steam (Hb. "Hebel", vapor, vanity).Vanity is nothing but man's attempt to pull himself up by pulling his bootstraps. Vanity means emptiness, ephemerality, transcience, and a useless striving which the Preacher rightly labels as "chasing after the wind". Only...
The Key to Wisdom – Intro
During our walk through the course of this lifeThis one thing we often realizeThat the world is made of fools and of the wise,So opposed as darkness is to light;Thus, also does Proverbs all people classifyAs those who love truth and those who fact despise:But, calamity and destruction are in folly so disguisedThat only the wise can through wisdom them identify;Yet, the key to wisdom is not hidden but is openly testified:The fear of the Lord is wisdom summarized;The irreverence of God is folly maximized.© Domenic Marbaniang, June 20, 2010On Proverbs...

A Mother's Heart for Her Son - Proverbs 31
Chapter 31 of Proverbs is one of the only collections of motherly instructions recorded in history. Tradition regards King Lemuel (meaning "belonging to God) as being King Solomon, in which case the mother would certainly be Bathsheba. However, some even think Lemuel might have been a King of a neighbouring kingdom called Massa. Whatever be the issues related to the background, the wisdom of this chapter is priceless, a final strike that puts the nail of Proverbs into its proper place for a man born to be a leader. Following is a gist of...
