I am often asked where I find my inspiration for sermons - this is one place. I believe God speaks to me daily and this is a place where you can look over my shoulder as I write some notes to myself as we journey towards Sunday . . .

Day 164 a note from God: 1 Kings 10-11 and 2 Chronicles 9
and God said to Solomon: You did what you wanted and not what I told you to do.
I Kings 11:11 NIV
Don't let anyone fool you ... beautiful women are not the cause of All the trouble in the world.
True, Solomon loved women and most of his troubles begin after he becomes enraptured with the Queen of Sheeba.
BUT, Solomon's real problem was that he didn't listen to God.
We can make all kinds of excuses. We can point blame with all of our fingers.
Truth is our problems come because we refuse to listen to God.
Not that God hasn't spoken, but rather we just won't listen.
Solomon was great at espousing wisdom, but speaking and listening are not the same.
Try living your faith. Your life will always speak more than your words.
