We make thousands of decisions every day, but some choices are more than daily routines—they shape our character, our calling, and even our eternity.
In this powerful message from 1 Kings 3, Ernest Benjamin walks us through Solomon’s bold request for wisdom and explores how discerning between good and evil is not just a biblical virtue—it is a spiritual necessity in a culture that often confuses the two.
This episode will challenge you to ask yourself: Are you choosing what is right or simply what is accepted?
If you have ever felt the tension between biblical convictions and cultural compromise, this message will help you stand firm with truth and grace.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode:
✅ Why decisions determine direction—and ultimately your destiny
✅ What Solomon’s prayer teaches us about leadership and wisdom
✅ How moral relativism erodes discernment and conviction
✅ Why calling good “evil” and evil “good” is more than confusion—it’s spiritual danger
✅ How to stay rooted in truth when sin is no longer hidden but celebrated
🎧 Whether you're walking the dog, commuting to work, or studying scripture at home, press play and rediscover the clarity and courage you need to choose God's way—especially when the world says otherwise.
