Verse 15
Good Evening, Sir. I know you will more than likely disagree with what I am about to say. Prior to disagreeing, please note that I am focusing on the actual "clock-time" that you spend on obeying authority compared to authority's responsibility because of this verse. If you say that they are equal (and they are), then an equal time and energy should be spent on both sides. As we know, the only side is God's side.
5:45 mark. No, we do not know what you are talking about. 5:58. No, say what you mean...one "culture" values this, NOT one generation. You specifically spoke AGAINST the treatment of blacks when you denounced social justice. This is not a "generational" value. It is a cultural value. 6:15 mark. You are correct in the Bible speaking of both sides; however, the majority of YOUR focus is on the side that is not oppressed. From the 6:30 mark to the 7:50 minute mark, over 50% of your focus is on respecting authority. It would be nice to devote an "even" amount of seconds to the aspect of authority carrying out their point.
I have been on both sides of this issue, which explains why I am pointing this out.
Verse 1 and Verse 3
The application of the verse is good. It would be great for the listeners to see these verses from King Solomon's life. By changing the word from sacrifices to feasting, we lose sight of what Solomon would have been "possibly" speaking of, which is the eating of the sacrifices by those who offered them (the priests and at times the people, as with the trespass offering). If there is strife in the midst of this element of worship, that would possibly impair the "success" of worship. When we couple this with Jesus saying to resolve all issues prior to offering sacrifices (Matthew 5-7), we will see that this all points to worship.
As for verse 3, an event after Solomon's life highlights the emphasis of verse three with Solomon's son (Rehoboam) who was foolish, compared to Jeroboam, who was "wise in one area", which resulted in Rehoboam's inheritance (the kingdom) being compromised by the "servant" Solomon.
I know that your time is limited for these Bible studies and it is difficult to include everything. I know you like to keep it simple and practical, but do not underestimate the ability of your listeners to absorb the complexities of God. We will never totally know God because we are finite creatures and he is infinite. Hopefully, there can be more doctrine in conjunction with practicality (the balance). Please consider.
