The Good Life, Part 2 – Some is Good; Is More Better?

April 25, 2010

The Good Life. Three simple words with very deep meaning. Just saying the words evokes complex thoughts, emotions, and desires. But what does it mean to really live the good life? How do you know how to get there? How do you know when you’re there? How do you stay there?

In week one we concluded that denying our desires wasn’t the way to find the good life. God created good things in life to enjoy, and that enjoyment is a gift from God. But if some is good, does that mean more is better? Should we indulge our desires and chase after all the things we want? This week we’ll continue looking at Solomon’s life through Ecclesiastes to find out what happened when he indulged himself in pursuit of the good life.
