Solomon: Wise but Foolish
by Miles Seaborn
INTRO. All of us sometime in our life lacks wisdom. I read not long ago about a baseball pitcher in the absence of his wife was faced with the baffling task of changing his infant son's diapers. Now, this was in the days when Central - or the main office of the telephone company - was the source of all information. So he rang the operator. After he explained his predicament she asked what his occupation was. 'Baseball payer,'' answered the bewildered caller. ''OK'' she said. ''Lay the diaper on the table like a baseball diamond. Now stand at home place. Pull the second base up to cover the plate. Put the baby's bottom halfway...
The Turned Heart of Solomon (2 of 6)
by Ken Trivette
1. On July 22, 1962, the Mariner I was launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida. The Mariner I was programmed to provide the first close-up view of the planet Venus. The flight plan was a thing of beauty. Thirteen minutes into the launch a booster engine would accelerate the spaceship to 25,820 miles per hour. Forty-four minutes into the trip 9,800 solar cells would unfold. Eighty days into the flight a computer would calculate the final course corrections. And after 100 days the craft would circle the mysterious Venus, scanning the heavy clouds which enwrap it, trying to peer at the surface below. That was the plan. What actually....
A Greater than Solomon
by Charles H. Spurgeon
Our first thought is that no mere man would have said this concerning himself unless he had been altogether eaten up with vanity, for Solomon was among the Jews the very ideal of greatness and wisdom. It would be an instance of the utmost self-conceit if any mere man were to say of himself-''A greater than Solomon is here.'' Any person who was really greater and wiser than Solomon would be the last man to claim such preeminence. A wise man would never think it; a prudent man would never say it. The Lord Jesus Christ, if we regard Him as a mere man, would never have uttered such an expression, for a more modest...
Some Things Solomon Learned
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: 1. As we know, the book of Proverbs was written by Solomon, declared by the Lord Himself, to be the wisest man who ever lived. a. Unfortunately, Solomon didn't learn how to follow his own advice-which, in reality, was the Lord's advice. The book of Proverbs is the Word of God. 1) That's why, even though Solomon made some mistakes, the Book is still right. God's Word is always true - it always works, if we do what it says. QUOTE: D. L. Moody once said, ''It is easier for me to have faith in the Bible than to have faith in D.L. Moody, for Moody has fooled me lots of times, but the Bible has not.'' (1) 2. Tonight we are going...
What Made Solomon Sing (4 of 4)
by Jeff Lynn
INTRODUCTION This is the fifth and final message in the series, ''HomeRun: a New Season for your Family.'' Again, our prayer is that you have hope that God can do ''wonders'' in your family. Ask yourself, ''What does God want of me?'' Today, I'm going to share on an aspect of marriage that is rarely preached on, or discussed in public or in private, other than in a joking or crude manner. In fact, one preacher with whom I had lunch this week said that when he preached on this topic the title of his message was, ''The Elephant in the Pew.'' We know it's on people's minds, but nobody wants to broach the subject. Sexual intimacy...
A Guide to Song of Solomon - Part 1 (24 of 37)
by John Barnett
These 8 chapters, 117 verses and 2661 words in the Hebrew Bible called Song of Solomon are the 5th of the Hebrew Wisdom Books called the MEGILLOTH. Each were read at one of the Jewish Feasts. Esther at Purim, Lamentations at unleavened bread; Ecclesiastes at Tabernacles; Song of Solomon at Passover and Ruth at Pentecost! But what does this diffucult book teach us? There are four enduring views: 1. It sets forth the ''glory of wedded love''; declaring the sacredness of marital relationship, and that marriage is a divine institution. 2. It sets forth the love of Jehovah for Israel. The prophets spoke of Israel as the wife of Jehovah....
The Wisest Fool (1 of 16)
by Clarence E. Macartney
King James I of England, who also reigned as James VI of Scotland, was the son of Mary, Queen of Scots. He was the king to whom our ''authorized'' King James Version of the Bible was dedicated, but hardly worthy of the high praise bestowed upon him in that dedication, which speaks of his ''many singular and extraordinary graces.'' King James had, however, some literary taste, and wrote a number of works. When James broke with France and made an alliance with Spain, Henry IV of France in a famous sentence described him as ''the wisest fool in Christendom.'' Solomon may well be described as the wisest fool in the Bible...
Solomon - The High Price of an Unguarded Heart (4 of 7)
by Larry Osborne
1. As life's tough challenges unfold, behind the scenes we have God's forgiveness, grace and guidance to help us. All this is made possible because of Jesus' death for our sins. It enables us to have a relationship with a holy and perfect God we could never otherwise have. This is why we, as Christians, celebrate the Lord's Supper! In preparation for Communion with your group, read 1 Peter 1:17-23; 1 Corinthians 11:23-28; and Hebrews 12:28 reflecting on the Last Supper and what Jesus has done for you personally. 2. Take a moment and write down your own thank you note to God for who He is, what He has done and...
Solomon: The Wise King Who Became a Fool (4 of 14)
by Jerry Vines
I'm drawing some practical life lessons from the kings in the Old Testament with this series of messages. We are going to find that there is quite a bit there for us. This evening we are looking at King Solomon, the wise king who became a fool. The books of Samuel have to do with the transition in the history of the Jewish people from the period of the judges to the period of the kings. The books of Kings and Chronicles have to do with the period of the monarchy in the history of the Jewish people, the terrible failure of the monarch among the Jewish people. It lasted for about 465 years. The first 120 years there was a single man...
A Greater Than Solomon Is Here
by Adrian Rogers
Take you bibles and turn with me to Matthew 12 and look with me in verse 42. Because I want to continue in theme of what we have been doing, and that is to give honor to our dear savior, for who's glory and in who's name this house has been built. The lord Jesus was facing, on a certain day, some enemies. They were scribes and Pharisees. They had questioned him. They had castigated him. They had interrogated him. They had picked at him. They were saying, give us a sign. Prove yourself to us. And the lord said a remarkable thing to them, in Matthew 12 and verse 42, look at it. The lord said, ''the queen of the south shall rise in judgment...

Looking At Temptation Through The Window Of Solomon (4 of 6)
by Ken Trivette
1) A certain fellow parked his car in a no-parking zone and left a note on the windshield that read, "I've circled the block for 20 minutes. I'm late for an appointment, and if I don't park here I'll lose my job. Forgive us our trespasses." When he came back he found a parking ticket on his windshield and a note that read, "I've circled this block for 20 years, and if I don't give you a ticket, I'll lose my job. Lead us not into temptation." 2) It has been often said that opportunity knocks only once, yet have you ever noticed temptation bangs on the door constantly? The Bible says in 1 Corinthians 10:13 that there is no temptation that has taken us but...
A Guide to Song of Solomon Part 2 (25 of 37)
by John Barnett
Paul warned in II Tim 3.2 we would be in danger of loving ourselves! WE are betrothed to Christ. As engaged to Him we need to express love for Him! Dr. H.A. Ironside says the key to the story is found in 8: 11. It is the recounting of a poor family of Ephraim in which there is a girl who is a sort of' Cinderella. The poverty of the family forces her into the vineyards where she meets the young shepherd. The story of their love is first told. Then he leaves her with the promise that he will return. He is absent for a long time, and she despairs of his return. One day the electrifying word is shouted along the way that King Solomon is coming by. She is...
When You're Not Feeling It Anymore: Have You Been to the Mountain?
by Richard Bradley
And behold, the Lord passed by, and a great and strong wind tore into the mountains and broke the rocks in pieces before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake; 12 and after the earthquake a fire, but the Lord was not in the fire; and after the fire a still small voice. 13 So it was, when Elijah heard it, that he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood in the entrance of the cave. Suddenly a voice came to him, and said, ''What are you doing here, Elijah?'' 14 And he said, ''I have been very zealous for the Lord God of hosts; because the children of...
How Will You Be Remembered?
by Daniel Rodgers
INTRODUCTION: Have you ever stopped to think about how you will be remembered? I mean, when you are gone and folks stop by your grave or sit around in the house and talk about you, what will they say? On the other hand, you might wonder if you will be remembered at all. HUMOR: Bill stood up at the funeral to say a few words about his best friend. ''I still can't get over the fact that he's gone. I also can't get over the fact that I totally survived that same car accident! Can you believe it? I should have suffered the same kind of injuries like what's-his-name here.'' You've heard it said, ''If you want to know how much you will be missed...
The Half has Not Been Told
by Rex Yancey
Solomon was one of the most illustrious kings that ever reigned. He was without rival in his wisdom. He was the gauge by which others measured wealth. He was known by the entire civilized world. Multitudes of foreigners were drawn to Jerusalem to sit at the feet of one who had been touched by the hand of God. Among those who came was the Queen of Sheba who left the comfort of home and braved the dangers of a lengthy pilgrimage because she wanted to know the truth about the king. When she met him and talked to him face to face, she said, “The half was not told me.” In Matthew 12 Jesus said to the Pharisees “Behold...
Overcoming Compromise
by David Ireland
A) The 1st meaning of compromise is to come to terms, reaching a settlement, a middle ground; or an understanding. 1. Compromise is good when solving disputes in politics, disagreements between two enemies, or creating healthy outcomes in relationships. B) The 2nd meaning of compromise is to expose to suspicion or danger; to jeopardize; to hazard; to endanger. 1. Compromise is bad when it comes to honoring and obeying the will and commands of God. 1.2 Jesus spoke strongly against compromise. Matthew 6:24-He said, ''No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be...
