Morning: The sermon, "Worship with Reverence," explored Ecclesiastes 5:1-7. Solomon reminds us that in order to have a meaningful life we must first worship God with reverence. Solomon explains that there is two basic ways to worship with reverence. First, we need to approach with humility. Then we need to do what we vow.
Walking with humility begins with listening. We must approach with our ears open. Next, we keep our mouths shut. We approach with a the understanding that God is holy. He is in heaven, we are on earth. We must approach with care.
This careful approach means that we must take our vows seriously. It is a dangerous business to make a promise to God, even in the heat of a moment, and think he won't expect us to keep it. God expects us to keep it. We need to think carefully before we promise to do anything, and then make good on the promises me make.
The meaningful life is one that is lived in awe of God. All of our words and dreams mean nothing apart from a life lived to the glory of God.
Evening: We had our fall festival this evening. There was a lot of food, fun, and fellowship.
