If you really believe that all things under the sun are vanity

(Thomas Brooks)

"Vanity of vanities," says the Preacher; "Vanity of vanities, all is vanity!" Ecclesiastes 1:2

If you really believe that all things under the sun are vanity, why do you spend more thoughts and time on the world-than you do on Christ, Heaven and your immortal souls?

That man is doubtless upon the brink of ruin, whose worldly business eats up all his thoughts of God, of Christ, of Heaven, of eternity, and of his soul; who can find time for anything-but none to meet with God in his closet!

A man may have enough of this world to sink him, but he can never have enough to satisfy him.

Sorrow attends worldly joy,
danger attends worldly safety,
loss attends worldly labors,
tears attend worldly purposes.

"Now all has been heard; here is the conclusion of the matter: Fear God and keep His commandments, for this is the whole duty of man. For God will bring every deed into judgment, including every hidden thing, whether it is good or evil." Ecclesiastes 12:13-14
