I’ve been feeling the terrible chronic fatigue again since last summer. I may have over-exerted myself when we moved into this house. I’m sure the author of Ecclesiastes would have something to say about that.
Back in 2006, I presented my Ecclesiastes material as a Sunday School class once again and revised it extensively in the process. Since my web page is no more, I decided to upload the newer material to a page on my blog:
http://bettercovenant.wordpress.com/ecclesiastes/
Later on I may try to upload some sermons on Abraham from the Genesis series. Those got revised extensively in 2007.
If you’re looking for older material from my defunct web site, you can still find that via the wayback machine:

As Joe Garrelli on the TV show NewsRadio once said: “”Dude, you can’t take something off the Internet. That’s like trying to take pee out of a swimming pool.”
Keep me in yor prayers if you think of it.

Dear Bill,
I was delighted to hear from you. So you were in the congregation when I preached on Christ purging our sins and being seated at the right hand of God. “Sit!”
So glad that others wanted it, So strange that in the last week three different people in different places came to me in this tour of Easter special preaching services and talked to me of that sermon. Then your letter. How good is God. I preached it in Holland Michigan and the pastor’s son came to assurance of salvation through hearing it.
I am glad we have had that contact.
I am devouring your sermons on Abraham. When in Genesis chapter fourteen there was far too much of Bill Baldwin and not nearly enough of me I have put a line of acknowledgment to you and your sermon at the bottom of the sermon. I will do this. You can see this on my website (get in via Geoff Thomas Sermons on Google). Any comment on this would be gladly received.
It’s a bad old sickness you have, so mysterious, how it comes out of nowhere and lays you low for some years. Ted Donnelly had it for a long time, but it finally has gone and he knows what are his new lilmitations. All the men and women, young and old, who have had it here have eventually recovered, and I have no doubt that that wil be the same with you too. But these weak waiting years do mean one casts oneself on grace. Our only hope is that he will deliver us. The 2 Corinthains 12 secton on the thorn in the flesh is the best pastoral commentary to preach to yourself on it. What I do you don’t know now, says the Lord but one day you will know. It is preparation for the future better use of the gifts God has give you.
I will write soon again
Warmly
Geoff

Bill,
Been wondering about you. Glad you are back on-line. Can you give us an update on your church life also?
Thanks,

Bill,
I’m planning to teach on Ecclesiastes at our women’s retreat this Fall. Your notes look great, extremely helpful. I’m glad that you revised them and added all the new material. I still remember the Sunday school series you did back at Trinity, some other lifetime ago.
I think of you, Lisa and the kids a lot.

Hi Bill,
I miss your preaching! I think about your many lessons/ sermons often. I wish you had your sermons online. I am hoping to hear you behind the pulpit again.
Peace be with you,

Hi Bill,
I do remember you in prayer. Thanks for continuing to post. I have benefited from your insights since my time at WSC.
In Christ,

My friend Zach Keele preached through Ecclesiastes 2 years ago. The sermons were greatly influenced by Seowe and both Klines. I really enjoyed it.
I’m sure I’ll like your work as well.
