Solomon

Not Sinful, But Not Wise? (1 Kings 3:1-4)

May 5, 2023 by Kenneth Yates in Blog - 1 Kings 3:1-4, neutral areas, Solomon, wisdom
Many people know the story about how Solomon, as he faced the task of ruling after the death of his father David, asked the Lord for wisdom. The author of 1 Kings records what happened (1 Kgs 3:1-15). Clearly, the Lord was pleased with Solomon and his request, and we are told Solomon loved the

Solomon and Tolstoy on the Problem of Death and Eternity (Ecclesiastes 3:11) 

June 10, 2021 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Ecclesiastes, eternal life, existentialism, nihilism, Solomon, Tolstoy
King Solomon repeatedly pronounced that everything under the sun was vanity—it was meaningless. In an earlier blog, I said that Solomon’s argument could be put in the form of a syllogism: Premise 1: All labor is under the sun (Eccl 1:3). Premise 2: All under the sun is vanity (Eccl 1:14).

What is the purpose of life? Why should anyone want to keep on living? Solomon was looking for meaning, for “profit”— What profit has a man from all his labor In which he toils under the sun? (Eccl 1:3). Solomon started his search with wisdom, but found it only led to a great appreciation for

Is There Profit in Wisdom? (Ecclesiastes 1:3-18)

May 26, 2020 by Shawn Lazar in Blog - Ecclesiastes, Solomon, wisdom
Where do you find true happiness? Where have you been taught to find it, by family, friends, church, school, and Hollywood? If anyone was in a position to discover the meaning of life, it was King Solomon, the son of David, supremely wise, and rich beyond comprehension (cf. Eccl 1:1, 12; 1 Kings 3, 10).
