As a kid, I remember my parents taking me on road trips outside of New York City to visit historic mansions-turned tourist attractions. We wanted to get a taste of what it was like to be rich. As an adult, living in Miami, one of my favorite places was the Viscaya mansion in Coconut Grove, pictured above. Every year, they hosted a Renaissance Festival. For a day, one could step back in time and experience what Europe was like during the Renaissance. Viscaya was built between 1914 and 1922 by industrialist James Deering. Though it looks like it was brought brick-by-brick from Northern Italy, it was constructed of reinforced concrete to withstand the sub-tropical climate. It is magnificent. The Renaissance Festival was held in their manicured, formal gardens. Inside and out it is a showcase of wealth.
Here in Ecclesiastes 5, Solomon ponders wealth, but first he considers how to approach God in His temple. In other words — why and how do you go to church? We’ll take each section separately. Let’s dig in…
It’s time to GET RIGHT WITH GOD!
Are you ready to meet God today? You may just meet God today!
If you want to reap all the benefits of salvation including the 1-way, non-stop ticket to Heaven then…
Believe. Repent. Be Baptized. Receive the Holy Spirit.
Pray this prayer humbly and wholeheartedly…
“Dear Lord Jesus, I know I am a sinner. I believe You died for my sins and rose from the dead. Please forgive me. Right now, I turn from my sins and open the door of my heart and my life to you. I confess You as my personal Lord and Savior. I surrender my whole life to you and I will follow you for the rest of my life. Thank You, Jesus, for saving me. In Jesus’ name, Amen.”
