Vanity, vanities! Was the writer of Ecclesiastes a “backslidden preacher”? A recent visit to the book has made Michael reconsider! We open up by diving into the book and asking the questions; What exactly was vain? and What was the “vexation of the spirit”? This search leaves us with a completely new and very “gospelly” […] The post 251031 The Backslidden Preacher & The Woman At The Well first appeared on Gospel Revolution.com.

Chuck Todd breaks down how Donald Trump’s presidency has become more about global showmanship than governing at home. From pushing Argentinian beef over American ranchers to a fragile Israel-Hamas peace deal and secretive efforts at regime change in Venezuela, Todd argues the administration is setting a dangerous precedent—one where the president wields unchecked power. He exposes how the Department of Homeland Security has morphed into a political PR arm, spending millions on self-promotional ads and luxury jets for Kristi Noem, all while ignoring real crises. Then, the conversation shifts to the next major political flashpoint: artificial intelligence. As fear of AI grows, politicians like Florida’s Hector Mujica are making it a centerpiece issue. Todd explores how AI could fuel a new populist revolt, with both parties scrambling to offer answers to voters’ unease. From vanity projects to vanishing trust in technology, this Chuck paints a picture of a government distracted by power plays while the ground shifts beneath it. Then, he sits down with Iowa Democratic Party Chair Rita Hart to talk farming, politics, and the fight to keep Iowa relevant on the national stage. From corn and soybeans to caucuses and campaigns, Hart shares what it’s really like for farmers caught in the middle of tariffs, trade wars, and shrinking rural economies — and how Washington’s decisions have reshaped Iowa’s way of life. They discuss the state’s economic struggles, rural healthcare crisis, and the outsized impact of right-wing media, as well as the challenge of rebuilding trust in the Democratic brand across small towns that once went from Obama to Trump. Hart also dives into the future of Iowa’s political identity — why she thinks a rural state must remain among the first in the presidential primary calendar, how Democrats can connect urban and rural voters around shared values, and what success will look like for Iowa Democrats heading into 2026. It’s a candid, grounded look at where agriculture meets democracy, and how one state’s renewal could hold lessons for the entire country. Finally, Chuck gives his ToddCast Top 5 political TV shows of the past decade and answers listeners’ questions in the “Ask Chuck” segment. Got injured in an accident?

This archive edition is upon request from a listener. What follows is the original audio track from August 29, 2024. Our text comes from Philippians 3:         "He will transform our lowly bodies so that they will be like His glorious body" (Philippians 3:21). The gospel story sounds too good to be true. It is the story of sheep rescued from a dark and fearful wilderness by the strong arms of a fierce shepherd. It's the story of children released from prison, of demons unmasked. It is the story of fearful disciples in a storm-tossed boat; the storm stilled by the command of their Master. It is the story of sick people healed, of blind people seeing. It is the story of dead people coming to life. It is the story of the God-man. It is the story of God who is captured, sentenced, and crucified by His own people. His friends weep and his enemies laugh. And all because of a snake. The gospel is a story about a snake who experienced the thrill of evil victory. "I have won," he hissed. "God lays in the grave." But as the sun rose over the horizon chasing the darkness from the garden, the guards ran with it, and the unexpected happened. The story turned. There was one more chapter to be written. The Shepherd came out of the tomb; God was alive. Heaven and earth shouted for joy; the angels danced, and the Father smiled as His Son went off to find His friends. And the snake; he lay in the dust; his head crushed; his tail quivering as life left him. It is a story that we are part of. That Sunday morning, many years ago is our story. The resurrection is part of our Christian faith, its cornerstone. As we read the resurrection story our hearts are stabbed with joy. We dance with the angels as good triumphs over evil. We are glad, our faith is not in vain, Christ arose. But… This life and this present world are subject to sin. We seldom think of sin as vanity, but it is. Life is vanity when it has no meaning. If we do not know the meaning of life, why live? why do anything at all? Most people don't like that question because it is too deep; it gets too close to the answer that life is not worth living; that there is no purpose to it. This is the haunting refrain of the book of Ecclesiastes. Vanity means emptiness, fluff, a fistful of wind, a pocketful of nothing. It means to pay the mortgage for all your working days and then to die. It means working hard and running fast and getting nowhere. Vanity is a political speech that means exactly nothing. Vanity is the hope that tomorrow will be different, that there is gold at the end of the rainbow; vanity is wisdom and folly, hard work and laziness, laughter, seriousness, and everything, because everything leads nowhere. In this life, we struggle against this sin. We fight against sin in our own lives. We struggle against sin in the world. We push against greed, and we bite our tongues to keep from lying. We stand up for the oppressed and give money to the poor. We seek to elect politicians who strive for justice. When our eyes fill with longing for another's toys, we turn away. But so often it feels like it's all in vain. The world does not get any better. And we, well, we don't seem too either. We cry out with Paul, “What a wretched person I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death, to vanity?” But because of the resurrection we can also answer with him, “Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!” (Romans 7:24-25). The resurrection gives us something to hope for in the future. While we struggle against sin today, we know that tomorrow sin will be gone. While our bodies are weak today, we know someday they will be strong. The gospel is our story. We too will be changed. Christ will transform our lowly bodies. They will no longer be subject to disease or age or sin or vanity. Christ will transform our characters to be like his. We will have no more inclination for lying. Our eyes won't covet our neighbour's stuff. As surely as Christ opened the eyes of the blind and stilled the storms, he will transform us. There is hope for us. Thanks be to God. As you journey on, go with the blessing of God:   May the peace of the Lord Christ go with you, wherever he may send you. May he guide you through the wilderness, protect you through the storm. May your day end with rejoicing at the wonders he has shown you.  May you rest in his provision as he brings night, and then new dawn.

Pastors who reject God's warnings and fail to prepare their people are seen as enemies. Vanity leads some to dismiss prophecy, but prophecies are meant to warn and protect the bride. #God #prophecy #warnings #pastors

Alpha Hour Exhortation - Episode 1089

Time to talk about Sir Vanity's first compilation EP, "Timeless". This collection of rock tunes featured as the theme songs for the stage play for "Tokyo Revengers" is filled with bangers and some of the coolest rock songs the band has released so far.This is an unscripted episode of the podcast.

many enter into evil covenant for negative and none sustainable reasons....

Atheism is often pointed out as a religion, and in many ways, the obsession with health and wellness has become its own secular form of legalism. Ray, E.Z., Mark, and Oscar remind listeners that while bodily exercise is valuable, it can easily become idolatry if it replaces worship of the Lord. Gluttony has long been a silent sin, rarely addressed in churches, yet food can just as easily become an idol as the pursuit of beauty or fitness. The guys emphasize the need for balance: a pastor should not be marked by obvious gluttony, but at the same time, believers must avoid falling into the opposite extremes. Humans are wired to worship—so the question is, what or who are you worshiping?There is nothing wrong with caring for the body, but when the motive is self-glorification rather than glorifying God, the line has been crossed. Historically, Christians have been known for fasting, generosity, and blessing others, rather than being consumed by self-care. When self-care becomes an idol, it often reveals a fear of death and a desire to earn immortality. The truth is that the outer man is wasting away, and eternal life is found only in Christ. Motivation determines whether health is pursued as an idol or as stewardship of the temple of the Holy Spirit. Oscar shares that he lifts weights to maintain strength and longevity, aiming to serve God and his family well as he ages. E.Z. adds that part of his drive is to avoid becoming a burden to his children and to maximize his impact for the Lord.The wellness industry has grown worldwide, but combining wellness practices with paganism introduces another possible danger. Practices like meditation or yoga often promise salvation through Eastern philosophies, but they are just another form of legalism that cannot defeat death. Eternal youth is a false hope; eternal glory in Christ is the true answer. Believers should desire to live fully until they die, striving to honor God with their bodies.The guys emphasize the practical benefits of activity, pointing out that humans were not made for a sedentary life in front of screens. Exercising strengthens both body and mind, and tackling tough challenges builds confidence and resilience. At the same time, they warn against being judgmental toward others who practice moderation. Rest, too, is part of God's design, and the Sabbath reminds believers that they are not machines defined solely by their productivity. Ultimately, the message is simple: avoid gluttony and laziness, reject the idolization of beauty, view health as stewardship, and above all, love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength.Send us a textThanks for listening!

In this powerful Bible teaching, we explore several profound Hebrew expressions found throughout Scripture—from "the apple of your eye" to "the king's heart in the hand of the Lord." Pastor Brandon Holthaus unpacks the deep Hebraic meaning behind these phrases and connects them to how we understand God's providence, human free will, and the believer's walk of faith. You'll discover how God's Word reveals your true reflection, how spiritual hunger grows through Scripture, and why treasuring the Word is vital in a time when a famine of truth has fallen on the church. This message also touches on the sobering reality of God's discipline, the cycle of sin described in Proverbs, and the eternal hope that awaits every believer beyond this life—reminding us that heaven is far greater than we can imagine.

"Leadership is essential in every sphere of life—families, churches, and nations rise or fall depending on those who guide them. Scripture shows us the importance of godly leadership, yet Solomon reminds us of a sobering truth: leadership, even kingship, is vanity when pursued apart from God.In this sermon, we consider:The corrupting influence of power (vv. 13–14)How even good leaders are quickly forgotten (vv. 15–16)Why pursuing leadership for the praise of man is emptyHow true significance in leadership comes only by fearing God and serving in humilityChrist Himself gave us the perfect example: “The Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for many.” Leadership rooted in self-exaltation always ends in vanity. Leadership rooted in Christ glorifies God and bears eternal fruit.✝️ May God raise up leaders in His church who serve not for the praise of man, but for the glory of Christ.#Ecclesiastes #Sermon #ChristianLeadership #BibleTeaching #VanityOfVanities #FearGod #PreachingTheWord #GospelTruth #HumilityInChrist"

The Bible does not say that money itself is a root of all kinds of evils. It says that the love of money is a root of all kinds of evils. The question is not, “Do you have money?” It is, “Does money have you?” Wealth, when enjoyed within God's boundaries, is a blessing to our lives.We often underestimate how much a love of money has taken hold of our hearts. Solomon warns us that the worship of money will leave us empty in the end. “As for the rich in this present age, charge them not to be haughty, nor to set their hopes on the uncertainty of riches, but on God, who richly provides us with everything to enjoy.” (1 Timothy 6:17)Take-Home Message: The worship of wealth is vanity.The Reality of Corrupt Wealth (8-9) The Vanity of Hoarding Wealth (10-17) The Blessing of God-Given Wealth (18-20)Take-Home Lessons Don't be surprised by corruption (8-9). Be generous with your wealth (10-17). Enjoy wealth within God's boundaries (18-20).

All is vanity.3 What does man gain by all the toil     at which he toils under the sun?4 A generation goes, and a generation comes,     but the earth remains forever.5 The sun rises, and the sun goes down,     and hastens to the place where it rises.6 The wind blows to the south     and goes around to the north; around and around goes the wind,     and on its circuits the wind returns.7 All streams run to the sea,     but the sea is not full; to the place where the streams flow,     there they flow again.8 All things are full of weariness;     a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing,     nor the ear filled with hearing.9 What has been is what will be,     and what has been done is what will be done,     and there is nothing new under the sun.10 Is there a thing of which it is said,     “See, this is new”? It has been already     in the ages before us.11 There is no remembrance of former things,     nor will there be any remembrance of later things yet to be     among those who come after.Ecclesiastes 1:1-11THINKING ABOUT DEATH 18 But the path of the righteous is like the light of dawn,    which shines brighter and brighter until full day.19 The way of the wicked is like deep darkness;    they do not know over what they stumble.Proverbs 4:18-1915 In my vain life I have seen everything. There is a righteous man who perishes in his righteousness, and there is a wicked man who prolongs his life in his evildoing. 16 Be not overly righteous, and do not make yourself too wise. Why should you destroy yourself? 17 Be not overly wicked, neither be a fool. Why should you die before your time? Ecclesiastes 7:15-17Ecclesiastes is filled with what we might call true lies. Given the perspective “God does not matter,” it is true that all is vanity. Since that perspective is wrong, it is not true that all is vanity. Yet Solomon makes us think through this wrong perspective thoroughly through Ecclesiastes.David GuzikThe Book of Ecclesiastes is a sermon concerning the emptiness of all things without Christ. He who reads it and does not see the Cross in its conclusion has missed its true meaning.Charles SpurgeonMemento Mori: “remember, you will die” or “remember, you are mortal”CD PICTURE*Day by day remind yourself that you are going to die.BenedictPICTURE OF BENEDICT*“What you are, we used to be. What we are, you will be.”In context, Benedict was essentially saying, “Don't waste your life on triviality. Remember what matters. Life is fleeting and precious. Don't squander it. Keep your death before your eyes. Hold eternity in your heart.”John Mark ComerFor the unbeliever, death is avoided for the sake of life. For the Christian, death is the lens through which we view our life and the door through which we finally enter real life.TOMBSTONE PICTURE*What Will YOUR Dash Be?10 Is there a thing of which it is said,     “See, this is new”? It has been already     in the ages before us.11 There is no remembrance of former things,     nor will there be any remembrance of later things[e] yet to be     among those who come after.Ecclesiastes 1:10-1113 Someone in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, tell my brother to divide the inheritance with me.” 14 But he said to him, “Man, who made me a judge or arbitrator over you?” 15 And he said to them, “Take care, and be on your guard against all covetousness, for one's life does not consist in the abundance of his possessions.” 16 And he told them a parable, saying, “The land of a rich man produced plentifully, 17 and he thought to himself, ‘What shall I do, for I have nowhere to store my crops?' 18 And he said, ‘I will do this: I will tear down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my goods. 19 And I will say to my soul, “Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.”'Luke 12:13-19THINKING ABOUT DEATH SAVES US FROM THE ILLUSION OF CONTROL13 Come now, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go into such and such a town and spend a year there and trade and make a profit”— 14 yet you do not know what tomorrow will bring. What is your life? For you are a mist that appears for a little time and then vanishes. 15 Instead you ought to say, “If the Lord wills, we will live and do this or that.” 16 As it is, you boast in your arrogance. All such boasting is evil.James 4:13-1620 But God said to him, ‘Fool! This night your soul is required of you, and the things you have prepared, whose will they be?'Luke 12:20THINKING ABOUT DEATH SAVES US FROM THE ILLUSION OF TIME21 So is the one who lays up treasure for himself and is not rich toward God.”Luke 12:21THINKING ABOUT DEATH SAVES US FROM THE ILLUSION OF VALUE“Creatures are not born with desires unless satisfaction for those desires exists. A baby feels hunger: well, there is such a thing as food. A duckling wants to swim: well, there is such a thing as water. If I find in myself a desire which no experience in this world can satisfy, the most probable explanation is that I was made for another world.C.S. LewisTherefore, since we are surrounded by so great a cloud of witnesses, let us also lay aside every weight, and sin which clings so closely, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us, 2 looking to Jesus, the founder and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy that was set before him endured the cross, despising the shame, and is seated at the right hand of the throne of God.Hebrews 12:1-2

The Vanity of Pleasure

A sermon by Ben Reynolds based on Ecclesiastes 2 preached on October 5th for our West congregation as part of our sermon series called "Fully Alive: Wisdom and the Way of Jesus in Ecclesiastes"

Bath bun. Bobbinet. Poor basket. Vanity-bait. These are just a few of the words the Oxford English Dictionary credits Jane Austen with using for the first time in print—and almost all are words related to domestic and everyday life. In this episode, we sit down with scholar Charlotte Brewer to explore the Dictionary's 19th-century origins, its reliance on volunteer readers, its ongoing digital evolution, and the literary biases that shaped whose words were recorded. A must-listen for word nerds! Charlotte Brewer is Emerita Fellow in English at Hertford College, Oxford. She began her career as a medievalist, subsequently turning to the history of the English language and in particular its record in the Oxford English Dictionary. Her publications include studies of Jane Austen and Shakespeare in the OED, and she is currently working on the Murray Scriptorium, a co-edited edition of the letters of James Murray, the first chief editor of the OED.For a transcript and show notes, visit https://jasna.org/austen/podcast/ep28/.*********Visit our website: www.jasna.orgFollow us on Instagram and FacebookSubscribe to the podcast on our YouTube channelEmail: podcast@jasna.org

This week, Shat The Movies enters the world of Harlem kung fu, Motown soundtracks, and glowing fists with 1985's The Last Dragon. Commissioned by listener Daylen, this mashup of martial arts flicks and music videos introduced audiences to Bruce Leroy, the Shogun of Harlem and one of the wildest cult classics of the '80s. But does its mix of camp and kung fu still shine today, or is it just a guilty pleasure best left in the VHS era? Gene and Big D debate whether Taimak was an underrated action star or just a wooden lead propped up by Vanity's charisma.  The Shat Crew relives Sho'nuff's scene-stealing swagger, the bizarre Eddie Arkadian subplot and a soundtrack so strong it sometimes overshadows the movie itself. Along the way, Dick and Gene marvel at the glowing special effects, question if Leroy's innocence makes him endearing or frustrating and admit that this might be the most “1985” movie ever made. Is The Last Dragon a true martial arts masterpiece with soul or just Motown's strangest experiment? Who's the master? Sho'nuff!

Ecc 1:1  The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.Ecc 1:2  Vanity of vanities, says the Preacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity.

(Ecclesiastes 4:7-12) It's very possible to become so consumed by results and achievements that we look past what truly matters, the people God has brought into our lives.
