Unshaken Saints The Books of Proverbs, Ecclesiastes, and Song of Solomon: ”The Beginning of Wisdom”
Explore Proverbs’ vivid contrasts between wisdom and folly, with detours into parenting, addiction, relationships, and the image of divine wisdom as a mother. Ecclesiastes wrestles with vanity, death, life’s seasons, and what makes our days meaningful. Then Song of Solomon turns to love poetry, devoted partners, and the striking image of an army with banners.

Missionaries Prayed For Each Other And Flourished
- Jared asked twelve struggling missionaries to pray for one another instead of requesting the same blessings for themselves.
- Their prayers became selfless, multiplying the support each missionary received and illustrating how serving others invites divine help.
The Rod Means Loving Guidance Not Abuse
- The “rod” in parenting should not justify abuse; it can represent loving correction, protective guidance, and teaching God’s word.
- Effective discipline requires spiritual prompting, clarity, and increased love rather than anger or frustration.
Ecclesiastes Teaches Through Pessimism
- Ecclesiastes is not a systematic statement of doctrine but a pessimistic exploration of what happens when life is viewed as fleeting and bounded by death.
- Its complaints teach readers through negative example rather than establishing that the dead lack hope or that temple work is meaningless.
