Wisdom or folly? Solomon had it all, but what led to his downfall? His life offers crucial lessons about the perils of compromise that war against the way of wisdom. Our example, Christ, who is “greater than Solomon” (Matt. 12:42), never strayed onto the path of folly. As we find our identity in Christ, he offers his wisdom so we can also avoid the ways of folly.

BIG IDEA: A life of wisdom can easily get mingled and entangled with a life of folly.
