The Nothing
A chasing of the wind.
Meaningless, meaningless..as the Nihilist says.
Yes the Nihilist steals from Ecclesiastes yet refuses to follow it to its end...That end?
Everything is meaningless in light of the surpassing glory of God.
Ecclesiastes 12:2"here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep his commandments, for this is the whole duty of man."
and as always we need reminding (and that need is human) the commandments are:
Love God with all your heart with all your soul and with all your mind. '... 'And you shall love your neighbor as yourself.
which leads to...
I Cor. 59
I wrote you in my letter not to associate with immoral people; 10 I did not at all mean with the immoral people of this world, or with the covetous and swindlers, or with idolaters, for then you would have to go out of the world. 11 But actually, I wrote to you not to associate with any so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler--not even to eat with such a one. 12For what have I to do with judging outsiders? Do you not judge those who are within the church?
I want them to whisper among themselves: "HE'S DINING WITH LIBERALS!!!" ¶ 8:22 PM
