Passage: Ecclesiastes 1:2* "Meaningless! Meaningless!" says the Teacher. "Utterly meaningless! Everything is meaningless." Questions 1. What earthly value does porn have?   2. Does porn qualify as meaningless according to the verse above?   Practical help Porn viewers must think they're seeing something of value, or why would they keep visiting smut sites? Yet the verse above calls porn (and every other earthly thing) a bucket with a hole: It's empty no sooner than you fill it up. If you're tired of carrying around empty buckets, consider Jesus' comments to the Samaritan woman in John 4:13-14: Everyone who drinks this water will be thirsty again, but whoever drinks the water I give him will never thirst. Indeed, the water I give him will become in him a spring of water welling up to eternal life. Want a taste?
