Key Truths
•Disregarding explicit warnings of Scripture will inevitably pull the heart away from God.
•True love seeks another’s eternal good; pleasure-centered “love of love” blinds us.
•Repentance, not perfection, marks a heart after God’s own heart.
•God’s discipline—even through hardship or opposition—is merciful, aiming to restore us.
•Fear of losing position or control tempts us to create convenient, man-made substitutes for obedient worship.
Ask yourself…
What merciful action did God take instead of immediately removing Solomon’s kingdom?
Why is fear a motivator for idolatrous or man-made religion?
What makes a life ‘after God’s own heart’?
What are some parallels to man-made religion the Christian’s should be aware of?
Why are we warned about being unequally yoked?
In your current relationships, are you clinging to anything that competes with whole-hearted love for God?

Additional listen today with Pastor Gary in the book of Proverbs. This listen is Vices… he lists 12, focuses on 4. Envy, drunkenness, revenge and anger.
Key Truths
•Envy signals a misplaced identity; satisfaction in Christ disarms it.
•Alcohol may be permissible, but its potential to mock, brawl, and master us demands extreme caution.
•Vengeance belongs to God alone; returning evil with kindness frees us and invites His justice.
•Anger handled quickly and righteously can honor God; anger nursed or unleashed invites sin and Satan’s foothold.
