When the Math Doesn't Work

This powerful exploration of Ecclesiastes 7:15-29 confronts one of the most unsettling realities of faith: sometimes the righteous suffer while the wicked prosper. We're challenged to abandon the formula theology that treats God like a vending machine where right inputs guarantee desired outputs. The message cuts through our tendency to believe that faithfulness exempts us from pain, reminding us that even the most righteous person who ever lived, Jesus Christ, suffered tremendously. Solomon's wisdom teaches us that mature faith isn't about controlling outcomes through obedience, but about trusting God even when life makes no sense.
