Solomon

I am in a personal study of King Solomon.  I have an idea for a Sunday School class if the opportunity comes again. It would be called: "Solomon's Wisdom & Old Wives' Tales". The idea is to compare the wisdom that God granted Solomon with the crazy things that have compelled Children of Israel and Christians to go the other way.  Actually a class on Solomon's life is compelling as well.

I Timothy 4:6-8  "If you point these things out brothers, you will be a good minister of Christ Jesus, brought up in the truths and good teaching that you followed.. Have nothing to do with godless myths and old wives' tales; rather, train yourself to be godly. For physical training is of some value, but godliness has value for all things, holding promise for both the present life and the life to come."

Solomon said: "Listen, my son, accept what I say, and the years of your life will be many. I will guide you in the way of wisdom and lead you along straight paths. When you walk, your steps will not be hampered; when you run, you will not stumble. Hold on to instruction, do not let it go; guard it well, for it is your life."

Solomon: "When a wicked man dies, his hope perishes; All he expected from his power comes to nothing."

As for "Old Wives'Tales" , we know stuff that we were taught that have little foundation in God's Word but still hold them as good traditions. Just saying.
