Bible Joy

Love, joy, peace, longsuffering, gentleness, goodness, faith, meekness, temperance... These are all attributes of the one true God. It is because our Lord is of such a holy character that our souls may be saved and our lives are blessed in ways too numerous to count. God the Holy Spirit dwells within each born-again child of God. He is willing and able to produce these same character traits in all believers. In this book we will learn how to yield to His control so that He might do a great work in conforming us into the image of our Savior.

The book of Ecclesiastes is confusing to many believers, who see it as a debate between an untrustworthy nihilist and a genuinely wise man who trust in God instead of giving way to despair. However, Douglas Wilson takes issue with this interpretation, arguing that the author of Ecclesiastes is looking at the world with biblically informed vision. Because God is sovereign and will one day judge all men and restore the world, believers can work, rejoice, marry, eat, and worship God in hope.

Some Christian leaders believe we should cast off the Old Testament now that we have the New. Carmen Joy Imes disagrees.
