Less Talk, More Walk
We tend to "put on our best" when we "go to the house of God." We look sharp, use the right language, and put on our biggest smiles. But we ought to "guard our steps," as the Preacher says, not AS we go to the house of God, but BECAUSE we are the house of God; we are the temple of the living God, built on the Cornerstone of Christ. We should, with both confidence as well as trembling fear, guard our steps as we pursue Christ in this life. ABOUT THIS SERIES: If life sometimes seems empty and meaningless, you aren't alone. One Preacher in the bible even agrees. He surveys his life's great accomplishments and successes, and sees that ultimately, it's all in vain. So what is the point of living? He concludes that in the end, when we live our lives not simply "under the sun," but "unto the Son," all that is meaningless in life takes on great meaning, even eternal meaning, and gives us much to live and hope for.
