The Story of King Solomon
Solomon was the wisest
man who "knew it all."
But this didn't prevent him
from "taking a fall."
The wisdom of God he
began disobeying.
By the many foreign women
he began marrying.
Even in all of his splendor,
glroy and riches.
He sought a "new" fulfullment
in his wives' wishes.
He built temples in honor
to foriegn deities.
Neglecting his God-given
wisdom and abilities.
His heart turned from serving the true God.
As his life turned into a sinful epilogue.
May this be a stern warning
for me and you.
That our commitment to God
remain faithful and true.
All of man's wisdom can't save your soul.
For Jesus loves you more
than you'll ever know!
Run from the wordly pleasures...
in Jesus believe!
His eternal treasure is the
best gift you'll receive!
Accept his gift of salvation
before it's too late.
So you don't end up as Solomon--
with a similar fate!
