Danger....don't be half hearted!!!

In 2 Chronicles 10-12, we see the torch of leadership pass to Solomon's son Rehoboam. With Solomon's life as an example (Rehoboam was 40 when Solomon died), you would think the next in line would be wise. Not so when pride and arrogance take over. That is a major sin in our culture, pride! It causes us to become cold in our love for God. Or worse, indifferent. Life can move pretty fast and we can easily get caught up in the excitement and activity. Careful with halfhearted lip service in worship though. This is when we use God as a spiritual Santa Claus, crutch, or 2nd string QB. Rehoboam rejected the advice of elder mentors and listen instead to pride filled advisors with a lust for power. Check other's motives, and check your own.
