Duality brings disaster

1 Kings 11:1-11

1. Why was Solomon unwise?

The Lord told Solomon that he must not intermarry with the foreign women, because they will surely turn his hearts after their gods. But Solomon did not take deed and indeed committed idolatory.

So the Lord said to Solomon, "Since this is your attitude and you have not kept my covenant and my decrees, which I commanded you, I will most certainly tear the kingdom away from you and give it to one of your subordinates."

James 4:8-10

2. What are the double-minded to do?

Come near to God and he will come near to you. Wash your hands, you sinners, and purify your hearts. Grieve, mourn and wail. Change your laughter to mourning and your joy to gloom.

Humble yourselves before the Lord, and he will lift you up.
