Westside Story Newspaper – Online The News of The Empire – Sharing the Quest for Excellence
By Lou Coleman-Yeboah
Vanity of vanities, saith the Preacher, all is vanity. [Eccelisates1:2-5]. All man does lead to futility – pointless. Solomon drew this conclusion from how he felt despite his enormous wealth, life status, and position in society. No matter what he did—he found absolutely nothing that fully satisfied his heart. Nothing gave him a deep sense of fulfillment. Whenever he found something that pleased him, the sense of gratification was temporary and short-lived; it soon passed away. So, what does it profit a man to gain the whole world and lose his soul? Absolutely nothing!
If you succeed in the things of this world and fail to save your soul, then you have failed miserably. If you miss Heaven and go to Hell, what a fool you are, what a wasted life you have lived! I tell you, there is nothing more important that your soul salvation! Do not be blinded and deceived by the lust of the flesh and the eyes in this sinful and perverted generation.
To whom shall I speak and give warning, that they may hear? Indeed, their ear is uncircumcised, and they cannot give heed. The word of the LORD is a reproach to them; they have no delight in it” [Jeremiah 6:10].
“As a river leads a man through sweet meadows, green woods, fertile pastures, fruit-laden fields, by glorious buildings, strong forts, famous cities, yet at last brings him to the salt sea; so, the stream of this world carries along through rich commodities, voluptuous delights, stately dignities, all possible content to flesh and blood, but, after all this, brings a man to death, after death to judgment, after judgment to hell.” [ Earthly Pursuits – End Miserably- Bible Hub -T. Adams.]
What tragedy! Repent before it is too late!
