What Can We Learn from the Mistakes of King Solomon?

Dr. Josh Moody

Well, it's a warning to all of us that knowledge is not a safeguard by itself. And so, what are the answers to those difficult questions? I think it's written in the Bible to warn us that reading commentaries and listening to videos about the Bible is not itself the final guarantee that we will not at least sin, if not become reprobate.

And so we have to guard our hearts, watch our life and doctrine closely. And not assume because we've been put in a position of authority or being given great gifts, that necessarily authority and status and gifts equate to the fruit of the Spirit. Perhaps the unanswered questions are intended to cause us to be careful.
