Before the Lights Go Out

This powerful conclusion to Ecclesiastes brings us face-to-face with life's most sobering realities while offering profound hope. We discover that this ancient book doesn't comfort us with pleasant platitudes, but with brutal honesty about the brevity of life, the certainty of death, and the limitations of our wisdom, wealth, and achievements. Yet within this stark realism lies a liberating message: since life is a vapor, we're called to live boldly and wisely before God.
