1 Kings 11 - When Wisdom Falters: The Cost of Compromise

In this powerful episode of Practical Advice from the Scriptures, we turn to 1 Kings 11—a sobering account of King Solomon’s spiritual downfall. Despite his unparalleled wisdom and wealth, Solomon’s heart is turned away from God by his many foreign wives, leading him into idolatry and disobedience. As a result, God pronounces judgment, setting the stage for the division of the kingdom and the rise of new adversaries. We’ll explore the ancient wisdom in this narrative as a cautionary tale on the dangers of compromise, the importance of staying faithful, and how even great success can be undone by small, unchecked choices. Join us as we unpack what this means for staying grounded in faith and values today.
