Proverbs 10:18
INTRODUCTION: Solomon can be a very confusing individual as we will see as we continue through this study of his writings... because you see
- He wrote the Song of Solomon, but he got marriage so wrong.
- He taught much about dealing soberly with wine but in Ecc. he experienced with how to stimulate his body with wine.

1 Kings 4:24-26 (ESV)
24 ....he had peace on all sides around him. 25 And Judah and Israel lived in safety, from Dan even to Beersheba, every man under his vine and under his fig tree, all the days of Solomon.
Solomon lead Israel to a greater peace than it had experienced under the rule of David.
Greater peace than it would ever experience again until it is lead by the Prince of Peace, the Lord Jesus Christ Himself.
Christianity is at it's CORE... RELATIONAL. You have have accurate doctrine, yet no relationship the God of whom your doctrine speaks. You have have appropriate behavior, yet no relationship with the God you are trying to appease. Christianity is at it's core relational, it is about an Offended God who has in love pursued the offender, adopted the offender and promised to love the offender forever. That is the essence of redemption... now if anyone ought to master relationships it ought to be ...
