Solomon at the end of his life, infinite wisdom given by God writes this Philisophical account of his life filled with his quest for fulfiiling his desires with women, treasures and worldly things realizes it has brought him nothing. Vanity, vanity all is vanity he cries, purposeless is his quest for the things of this world, in the end all we have is God and he cries out for lifes meaning. Other adjectives such as vain, empty, temporary what is gained? Solomon seemingly expresses our need to enjoy the God given pleasures in life such as eating, drinking and the fruits of our labor given by God.
Solomon concludes by stating we should follow the commands of our God. Much of the time God is left out of the discussion. But when he is introduced, everything changes. "Life under the sun" becomes "life from the hand of God." Chasing after meaning is transformed into the pursuit of God. This exploration of life's meaninglessness outside of knowing God thus becomes an invitation to know him. It seems like our busy lives consumed by work, money, media and things. We must see the splendor of Gods General revelation in our lives that is plain to see all around us.

Apologetics
Christian apologetics is a field of Christian theology that aims to present a rational basis for the Christian faith, defend the faith against objections, and expose the perceived flaws of other world views.[1] Christian apologetics have taken many forms over the centuries, starting with Paul of Tarsus, including writers such as Augustine of Hippo and Thomas Aquinas, and continuing currently with the modern Christian community, through the efforts of many authors in various Christian traditions such as C.S. Lewis. Apologists have based their defence of Christianity on historical evidence, philosophical arguments, scientific investigation, and other disciplines.
Why I created this blog page
For what reason have I created this blog site? I was moved by God , my Lord Jesus Christ whom walked among us in the flesh, creator of the Heavens and the Earth. Metaphysics (Cosmological and Oncological), Relativism, Humanism, Naturalism, Rationalism, foundations of Atheism. Secularism that exist in Modern Western civilizations and culture of today, expressly in reference to the United States has served to undermine the truth or even the debate of truth. The attempt to make religious ideals, and institutions meaningless and to serve no social significance in society today has put us at a crossroads. I wish to stand at the crossroad. The Lord wishes me to grow in knowledge. Understand revelation, prophecy and salvation. Scientific, evolutionary and metaphysical theory. The plethera of philisophicalisms. I do not have the answers, but for myself. I wish to look back on this as an experience, and see the great works that evolve from attempting to set fourth the different viewpoints. I wish to deal always in fairness and work toward accuracy. All are welcome to partake, regardless the worldview in which they posses, and use this median as a forum toward knowledge and truth. I serve the Lord and all my work is onto him. I would wish the same candor out of all those who participate. Ad hoc, dialetic, sophistry and the like will be quickly recognized and reduced to thier value. I wish not to make this a forum for redundant, mudane subject matter that produces no truth or knowledge. I will provide subject matter to logically debate unless one is presented in which to pursue .Pease Join me
Blessed are those who serve the Lord and his Kingdom.
