This website is hosted by Robert Wurtz II. This blog is intended to be a means of putting into writing some of my musings about New Testament Christianity in a post modern culture. We are instructed in scripture to, "Gird up the loins of our minds."

In the article, the author explores the story of Adonijah, son of King David, who ambitiously sought the throne for himself, reminiscent of his brother Absalom. Despite his charm and efforts to gather support, Adonijah's aspirations conflicted with God's choice of Solomon to build the Temple, highlighting the theme of divine purpose versus personal ambition. The article underscores the importance of parental discipline, noting that David's failure to correct Adonijah contributed to his misguided pursuits.

The author draws parallels to modern political schemes, urging readers to focus on collective efforts for the greater good rather than individual glory in building God's kingdom.
