Began studying today for next Sunday’s sermon. I’ve been working on paraphrasing Ecclesiastes 7:1 which reads: “A good name is better than fine perfume.”

Here’s my exposition: People will receive a stinking fool if he smells of fine perfume, but they will keep company with an honorable man even if he stinks. When the perfume wears off, all that is left is a stinking fool, but an honrable man always has his wise heart.
