Contributed by Charles Cunningham on Jul 1, 2020

In our fallen world, Christians must do as Solomon did: Ask God for a remedy to the situation we find (or put) ourselves in. God turned a raucous sinner's formula for failure into a repentant sinner's formula for success!

A Little Child

Contributed by Paul Robinson on Sep 15, 2022

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!

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
