“…and much study is a weariness to the flesh.”
–Ecclesiastes 12:12
According to numerous conversations overheard during the past week, people seem to feel they were happiest when they were children.
“Not a care in the world!”
But is it true that the world was better when one is a child?
OR, is the child ignorant of much of the wickedness and evil which plagues this present life?
Is ignorance really bliss?
The world says “Ignorance is bliss.”
God’s Word puts it a more elegant way.
“For in much wisdom is much grief: and he that increaseth knowledge increaseth sorrow.”
–Ecclesiastes 1:18
IS the reader longing for the “good old days” which never existed?
THERE is still time to change direction (repent) and place one’s trust in Almighty God and His Son, Jesus Christ.

THE GOSPEL
“Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
And that he was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve: After that, he was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep. After that, he was seen of James; then of all the apostles. And last of all he was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time. ”
–1 Corinthians 15:1-8
“But if our gospel be hid, it is hid to them that are lost:”
—2 Corinthians 4:3
