01
Utterly Meaningless!
Rory Dyer · 26 January 2025
“Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." What does man gain from all his labor at which he toils under the sun?
02
It’s not inside, It’s on top
Rory Dyer · 2 February 2025
A man can do nothing better than to eat and drink and find satisfaction in his work. This too, I see, is from the hand of God.
03
Hevel and Tov
Steven Dollenberg · 9 February 2025
All their days their work is grief and pain; even at night their minds do not rest. This too is meaningless. A person can do nothing better [TOV] than to eat and drink and find satisfaction [TOV] in their own toil.
04
Time is for the Byrds
Rory Dyer · 16 February 2025
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.
05
Time
Steven Dollenberg · 23 February 2025
God’s purposes unfold at the intersection of place and time.
06
The big and small of time and place
Rory Dyer · 2 March 2025
There will be a time and there will be a place where God will bring justice and judgement to both the wicked and the righteous. Until then, we live in the knowledge that God is big and we are small.
07
Better Together
Rory Dyer · 9 March 2025
Again I looked and saw all the oppression that was taking place under the sun: I saw the tears of the oppressed- and they have no comforter; power was on the side of their oppressors- and they have no comforter.
08
Two are better than one
Rory Dyer · 16 March 2025
Two are better than one, because they have a good return for their work: If one falls down, his friend can help him up. But pity the man who falls and has no one to help him up!
09
Salary of smoke
Steven Dollenberg · 30 March 2025
Whoever loves money never has enough; whoever loves wealth is never satisfied with their income. This too is meaningless.
10
Look Up, Listen Up, Shut Up
Rory Dyer · 6 April 2025
Do not be quick with your mouth, do not be hasty in your heart to utter anything before God. God is in heaven and you are on earth, so let your words be few.
11
Death is an Evangelist
Rory Dyer · 27 April 2025
A good name is better than fine perfume, and the day of death better than the day of birth. It is better to go to a house of mourning than to go to a house of feasting, for death is the destiny of every man; the living should take this to heart.
12
Weddings and Funerals
Rory Dyer · 4 May 2025
All share a common destiny-the righteous and the wicked, the good and the bad, the clean and the unclean, those who offer sacrifices and those who do not. As it is with the good man, so with the sinner; as it is with those who take oaths, so with those who are afraid to take them.
13
Remember your Creator
Steven Dollenberg · 11 May 2025
Remember your Creator while you’re still young, Before the years take their toll and your vigour wanes, Before your vision dims and the world blurs. And the winter years keep you close to the fire.
14
Hey Fool!
Rory Dyer · 18 May 2025
The heart of the wise inclines to the right, but the heart of the fool to the left.
15
Things We Don’t Know
Rory Dyer · 25 May 2025
As you do not know the path of the wind, or how the body is formed in a mother's womb, so you cannot understand the work of God, the Maker of all things.
16
Death is certain
Rory Dyer · 1 June 2025
Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man.
