When we read the account of men who were supposed to be the spiritual pillars of Israel, Solomon and Rehobaoam, sanctioning idol worship within the kingdom of God, we shake our heads in disgust (1 Kings 11:7,8; 2 Chronicles 11:15).

Someday there will be no balm in Gilead and sadly enough, it will be much too late (Jeremiah 8:20-22).
