Men prepare a meal for enjoyment, and wine makes life merry, and money is the answer to everything Ecclesiastes 10:19
Recently a church member said to me, "Hey, I never heard you preach on this topic. All I hear is wine and money are evil." Not all scripture is direction on how we should live. Some direct us on how we should not live. In the passage Solomon is contrasting wisdom and foolishness. Solomon found out far too late that riches, wine, women, and songs were not the key to happiness. His writings direct a man not to let those things be the answer in our lives. When we love the things of this world more than we love God, all these things really do become the root of all sorts of evil. Unfortunately, just a little foolishness is weightier than wisdom and honor. Don’t rip a verse out of contest. Let’s cling to wisdom and honor.
The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ be with your spirit
Philippians 4:23
