‘Tychicus And Onesimus – A Great Team.’
Colossians 4:7-9.
a) Colossians 4:7. Tychicus was:-
1-A dear Brother.
2-A Faithful Worker.
3-A Fellow Slave in the Lord.
4-A Messenger who was totally trusted by Apostle Paul.
b) Colossians 4:8. The specific purpose of
Tychicus’ visit to Colosse was two fold:-
1- That the
Colosse Believers would know the condition of Apostle Paul and his team.
2- To
encourage the Colosse Believers.
c) Colossians 4:9. Along with Tychicus Apostle
Paul sent Onesimus.
d) Colossians 4:9. Onesimus was a dear and
faithful Brother who came from Colosse in the first place. He also would tell
the Colosse Church everything that had been happening.

‘Solomon’s Folly And Sin In His Old Age.’
1 Kings 11:1-7.
a) 1 Kings 11:1-2. King Solomon loved many
foreign women who did not know or fear the living God. He had relationships
with them which was strictly forbidden by the Lord.
b) 1 Kings 11:3. His life was corrupted by at
least 1,000 women.
c) 1 Kings 11:4. His wives turned Solomon’s heart
away from the Lord and his heart ceased from being in perfect condition with
Him.
d) 1 Kings 11:5-7. King Solomon became totally
idolatrous because of these women.

this Second one I see Solomon’s Folly And Sin In His Old Age)

King
Solomon “loved” many foreign women. This was not true love, this was lust. Lust
is sin and not addiction. Satan is lying to the Church about the subject of
addiction. If we consult the medical dictionary we will find the true
definition of addiction and addicts need to be cured of whatever matter has got
into their blood. Then they need not be addicts anymore. Lust is not addiction,
gambling is not addiction. “Addiction” makes sin sound more pitiful and we have
pity for the sex or gambling addict. NO! Lust is sin, gambling is sin and it
needs to be repented of and run away from. God is Faithful to deliver us from
temptation and sometimes we need the Prayers of our loving Church brothers and
sisters to help us overcome too.
