Let The Church Say Amen
A Tribute To My Mother
In the Book of
Ecclesiastes, the writer Solomon, in his quest for happiness and the meaning of
life, also known as "the Teacher," asks many questions that are still
being raised today and these questions are relevant in today's society. We
exist in a society where our young people are searching for proper answers.
Solomon was called a
preacher, one who “Gathers” or assembles the people of God, Solomon in his
great wisdom taught the true knowledge of God, and how men ought to live their
lives in this transitory world.
My mother, Mary Alice
Gillespie was a great teacher of the Word of God. Her teaching has left an indelible mark
on people many people all across this nation.
Her life and her teaching was a replicate of Solomon, a person seeking for a deeper
understanding of God's Word. Now at the
age of 95 that life has ended. What a
life…
Ecclesiastes 3:1-2
For everything there is a season, and a time for very purpose under heaven: a
time to be born, and a time to die; a time to plant, and a time to pluck up
that which is planted;
Ecclesiastes 9:11
I returned, and saw under the sun, that the race is not to the swift, nor the
battle to the strong, neither yet bread to the wise, nor yet riches to men of
understanding, nor yet favor to men of skill; but time and chance happened to
them all.
All that has happened has
been ordained by God, therefore we will gather today not to shed a tear, though
it may be hard not to, let us comfort one another, as David said in Psalms
121:1 I will lift up mine eyes unto the
mountains: From whence shall my help come?
God has spoken, let the church say
amen.
