    Solomon was given more wisdom than anyone who has lived yet he chose not to use it.

    There are all kinds of warnings in life. Most products we purchase have labels warning about improper use.

    There are times in our lives that we need assistance in making sound decisions. Many decisions made are good but are they godly? True wisdom starts with a heart full of faith, not a head full of facts.

    “A person is not necessarily smart just because he says things that are smart.” There are some individuals that believe they know everything no matter what the topic may be. Actually, there are some who before you can finish asking the question they already have an answer. These ...read more

    Do you believe God's wisdom is more valuable than gold? How committed are you to asking for God's wisdom and to seeking after God's wisdom. But even more importantly, how committed are you to applying God's wisdom?

    A. The story is told about an angel that appeared at a faculty meeting and told the dean, “In return for your unselfish and exemplary behavior, the Lord will reward you with one of the following: infinite wealth, wisdom, or beauty.

    In this busy and hectic world of ours, it is often too difficult to accomplish all that we have planned for us. We need to slow the world down and concentrate on One Thing.

    James 1:2-8 Let me offer an explanation first if you will allow me. From this scripture we can deduce four things at a minimum: EXPLANATION 1. The testing of our faith produces steadfastness. 2. If we allow steadfastness to have its full effect, we will only then be perfect and complete, ...read more

    If God offered to give you whatever you wanted, what would you ask for? Solomon teaches us how to ask for true riches.

    I found a website that published letters children addressed to God. As you can imagine, the letters are quite humorous. One girl wrote: “Dear God. Are you really invisible or it that just a trick?” Another child observed: “Dear God, I bet it is very hard for you to love all of everybody in the ...read more

    A Little Child

    Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022
     | 1,414 views

    Solomon called himself a little child. In this statement he showed both humility and honesty. The truth is, we can all call ourselves little children. And we should!

    Why did Solomon compare himself to a little child? 1. He was young 2. He was inexperienced 3. He wanted wisdom and understanding His request for wisdom pleased God, and God gave him that plus so much more. We can also ask for wisdom, and are invited to do so. James 1:5-- “If any of you lack ...read more

    Solomon's downfall began when he married the daughter of the Egyptian Pharaoh to seal a political alliance. He could not control his lust. Among Solomon's 700 wives and 300 concubines were many foreigners, which angered God.

    Overcoming Temptations King Solomon was the wisest man ever and also one of the most foolish. God gifted him with unsurpassed wisdom, which Solomon squandered by disobeying God's commandments. Solomon's most notable achievements were his building projects, particularly the temple in ...read more
