Of Making Many Books

Ecclesiastes 12:12

The Preacher ends Ecclesiastes with a sober note: “Of making many books there is no end, and much study is a weariness of the flesh.” The line is not anti-learning. It is a reminder that accumulation of information has limits. At some point the need is not another volume but obedience to what is already known.

How you’d preach it

Gentle caution for the over-reading or endlessly consuming leader. Scripture itself warns that more information is not always more wisdom.
