As Solomon grew old, his wives turned his heart after other gods, and his heart was not fully devoted to the LORD his God, as the heart of David his father had been. He followed Ashtoreth the goddess of the Sidonians, and Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. So Solomon did evil in the eyes of the LORD; he did not follow the LORD completely, as David his father had done. On a hill east of Jerusalem, Solomon built a high place for Chemosh the detestable god of Moab, and for Molek the detestable god of the Ammonites. He did the same for all his foreign wives, who burned incense and offered sacrifices to their gods. The LORD became angry with Solomon because his heart had turned away from the LORD, the God of Israel, who had appeared to him twice. Although he had forbidden Solomon to follow other gods, Solomon did not keep the LORD’s command.

As Valentine's Day dawns, a symphony of love and anticipation fills the air. In the midst, it becomes paramount to reflect on the biblical wisdom surrounding the choices we make in matters of the heart. We will unravel timeless principles anchored in God's word.
Being in mission with Jesus can involve many activities (church planting, disciple-making, evangelism, etc.). It can take place in different places (large cities, small towns, remote rural villages). But amid that diversity of tasks and locations, there is one essential element for every all-in missional follower of Jesus: wholeness of heart. More important than the going and the doing is the being—being people with hearts of integrity, hearts with a singular loyalty, hearts that have been formed, reformed, and transformed by the Holy Spirit as he makes us more and more like Jesus.
