Herm the Worm here. Welcome to the wrestling match
0:10
of the decade. It's a fight to the finish
0:13
between whirlwind wisdom and the foolish freight train.
0:16
Give me that microphone, Herm the Worm.
0:19
I know where you get your name from.
0:20
They call you the worm because you eat dirt, as far as I'm
0:24
concerned. And As for whirlwind wisdom, I'm
0:26
going to knock the wind right out of his sails.
0:29
He always thinks he's right about everything.
0:32
Well, he's making a big mistake by getting in the ring with the
0:35
foolish freight train. Sugar, sugar, sugar, sugar,
0:40
sugar, sugar, sugar. I ride on my own set of tracks.
0:44
I go where I want, when I want, and no one can stop me.
0:49
Wisdom, I'm going to run you over.
0:51
If you're really wise, you'll blow on out of here while you
0:55
still have a chance. I don't know about you boys and
1:01
girls, but I'd say the freight train is pretty steamed.
1:04
Can he roll over Whirlwind Wisdom Somehow?
1:08
I don't think it will be that simple.
1:10
Whirlwind, you heard the freight train.
1:13
What are your comments? Well, Herm, first of all, let me
1:17
say that the reason the freight train is so steamed at me is
1:21
because I've tried to help him in the past.
1:23
His parents are very hurt by his actions.
1:26
He's always in trouble with the law, and he's hanging around
1:29
with people who also get in trouble.
1:31
The freight train is really hurting on the inside.
1:34
If only he'd live his life the way God's Word says to live, he
1:37
could be so much happier. Getting God's wisdom is the most
1:41
important thing anyone can do. Proverbs 47 says wisdom is the
1:45
principal thing, therefore get wisdom.
1:48
Aren't you afraid that the freight train might hurt you
1:51
because of all the anger he has inside of him?
1:54
No, not at all. I know God is on my side.
1:57
His Word is my protection. It's kind of like a shield.
2:01
The only thing that I'm afraid of, Herm, is that foolish
2:04
freight train might never have another chance to give up his
2:07
foolishness and start living in the understanding of God's Word.
2:11
Herm, when that bell rings, I'll be standing in the ring.
2:15
Thank you Whirlwind wisdom, boys and girls.
2:18
The fight you've all been waiting for, labeled by
2:21
promoters around the world as the wrestling match of the
2:25
decade in this corner, weighing in at 236 lbs.
2:30
The foolish freight train. In the other corner, weighing in
2:43
at 187 lbs. Whirlwind wisdom. 187 lbs.
2:51
I'll squash you like a marshmallow.
2:54
The only marshmallow is in your head.
2:56
Stop this foolishness before it's too late.
2:59
I'm a lot stronger than you are. You may be stronger, but I'm
3:04
smarter and you know it. I'm going to be rich after I
3:12
win. This fight will win.
3:14
Why don't you wise up? Your parents would be a lot
3:16
happier if you did. I don't want to wise up I'm.
3:21
Sorry to hear you say that this is going to be a short.
3:24
Fight. Oh yeah?
3:26
You think so? Are you strong enough to pin me?
3:28
Huh. I'll even help.
3:30
You will win. That's how sure I am of myself.
3:33
Come on, I'll just lay down on my back.
3:37
Let's see if you can keep me down for a three count.
3:40
Come on. What's the matter?
3:42
One. Are you afraid I'll throw you
3:44
off? I'm not afraid of anything.
3:47
Freight train. Two.
3:48
Then why don't you get down here and try to pin me?
3:53
I don't have to. 3. You just pinned yourself the
3:57
winner. Is whirlwind wisdom hey?
4:01
That's not. Fair.
4:02
He didn't pin me. Oh.
4:04
Come here, rest. Oh no, the freight train is
4:09
taking out this frustration on the Rep.
4:11
Somebody has to stop this. And here comes whirlwind wisdom
4:16
back in the ring. Come on, wait, it looks like the
4:19
Foolish freight train was hoping Rule One would come back.
4:22
Come on, there is going to be a fight boys and girls, a no ref
4:26
no rules fight. Freight train hits Whirlwind
4:29
with a forearm. Whirlwind is knocked back
4:32
against the rope but comes flying back at freight train,
4:34
picking him up over his head and throwing him out of the ring.
4:39
That should put a stop to the Foolish freight train for a
4:42
little while. Anyway, this says Hern the Worm
4:45
and thanks for watching. Mr. Boss, what are you doing
4:58
here? I'm trying to clean these
4:59
offices. And why are you playing that
5:02
silly music like you're James Bond or something?
5:06
Wanda, how would you like a raise?
5:09
Well, of course I'd like a raise.
5:12
Well, I got the stuff to make this company rich.
5:16
You got the stuff. I got the stuff.
5:20
Well, I'm glad because I've been working my tail off trying to
5:23
get you to give me a raise so that I could buy me some more
5:26
stuff. No, you're not listening, Wanda.
5:29
Now stop cleaning for a moment and look.
5:33
That's a Bible. Keep it down, someone might hear
5:38
you. You've got a Bible and you don't
5:41
want anyone to know about it. I just have two questions.
5:45
Who are you and what have you done with my boss?
5:49
Are you crazy? It's me, Wanda.
5:51
I was about to ask you if you were crazy.
5:55
You act like that Bible is the only one on the planet.
5:59
I have 5 bibles at my house. King James, New King James, the
6:05
Living Bible, the Amplified Bible, and my through the Bible
6:09
in one year. You have 5 bibles and you're
6:12
just a maid here. Now you have 6.
6:16
A lot of good it does. I don't want your Bible, Mr.
6:19
Boss. You keep it.
6:22
But let me ask you a question. What exactly did you think that
6:26
Bible was going to do for you? Well, I went to this seminar and
6:30
I learned that this book is God's wisdom and that getting
6:34
and keeping God's wisdom brings riches and honor.
6:37
So I bought 1 and I was planning to keep it until you told me you
6:41
had five. I guess I was scammed, huh?
6:44
All right, have a seat. Hey, not that one.
6:48
They've already cleaned that chair.
6:51
Sit here and listen to me. You can't just own a Bible and
6:55
keep it on your shelf. That's not wisdom, that's dumb.
7:00
Getting and keeping God's wisdom means hearing God's Word and
7:05
doing what you learn. James 125 says that the doer of
7:10
God's word is blessed, and you start by asking Jesus into your
7:15
heart. You know so much, how come
7:18
you're just a maid if. You say I'm just a maid.
7:21
One more time I'm going to have to ask God for forgiveness for
7:25
smacking you with this mock. Now listen, I do what I do
7:29
because I like it and I'm good at it.
7:31
There is nothing wrong with me being a maid, just like there is
7:35
nothing wrong with you being dumb.
7:38
What I meant to say was, how come you're not the boss?
7:42
God's the boss, not me and not you.
7:46
Look, God blesses me enough to meet my needs and I'm able to be
7:51
a blessing to other people. What could be better than that?
7:55
Now, if you don't mind, I have to finish cleaning so I can go
7:59
home and be with my family. Could.
8:01
You do me a favor. First you said to start I need
8:05
to ask Jesus into my heart. How do I do that?
8:09
I can lead you in a prayer and you repeat after me, dear God.
8:14
Dear God. Thanks for sending Jesus.
8:17
Thanks for sending Jesus. To die for my sins to.
8:21
Die for my sins come. Into my heart come.
8:24
Into my heart. Be the boss of my life.
8:27
Be the. Boss of my life.
8:29
In Jesus name Amen in. Jesus name Amen.
8:34
Turn off that silly music and go home so I can finish my job.
8:38
Yes, ma'am, and thank you. Oh, and Mr. Boss, instead of
8:43
hiding that Bible in your pocket, you might want to start
8:47
reading it and doing what it says.
8:50
That would be the smart thing to do.
8:55
I got Mr. Boss saved. Thank you God for answering my
9:00
prayer. Why did I let?
9:08
That Solomon talk me into marrying him.
9:11
I Pharaoh, daughter of the Pharaoh king of Egypt.
9:15
I'm living here in this dump while Solomon saves all of his
9:19
money to build a temple to his God.
9:22
Some days I wish I was home with my mummy.
9:26
Pharaoh, there you are. I've been looking all over for
9:29
you. I have to tell you about my
9:31
dream last night. Well, let me tell you.
9:33
About my dream, I had a dream that you stopped saving all your
9:37
money for that temple and you built me a big beautiful house
9:41
if I had. Enough money to do both?
9:42
I would, but God comes first, you know that?
9:45
Yeah. Yeah, yeah.
9:47
So tell me your dream and be quick about it.
9:50
God appeared to me last night. What?
9:52
Did he want? He probably told you to hurry up
9:55
with his temple. No, stop being that way.
9:58
I'm sorry. I guess I'm just a little
10:00
jealous. I've heard so many great things
10:03
about him. Maybe it's because I don't know
10:05
your God that well yet. So what happened in your dream
10:09
God? Told me he'd give me anything I
10:11
asked for. You're.
10:12
Kidding. Did you rub a magic lamp?
10:15
Don't be ridiculous. God loves his people and he
10:18
wants to bless us, me included. God actually said he'd give you
10:22
anything you asked for. Anything.
10:24
Yes, yes. Who needs the lottery?
10:28
Who needs the sweepstakes? We have the God of Israel, the
10:32
true and living God, the God that never lies.
10:37
He doesn't lie, does he of. Course not, but tell me.
10:40
You asked him for money. Lots of money.
10:43
Money, money, money. Tell me, tell me, tell me.
10:46
You did ask him for money, didn't you?
10:49
I asked him for wisdom. Yes.
10:51
I love you, what did you say? I asked him for wisdom.
10:57
Hello, Solomon. Are you in there?
11:00
You need money to build his temple, not to mention my house.
11:05
But. I need wisdom more.
11:07
I'm the king. People will be coming to me with
11:10
their problems. I'll have to make decisions that
11:12
will affect thousands of people, including other nations.
11:16
I've never been king before. No dust, Sherlock.
11:22
Like, excuse me, King Solomon, this woman won't give me my
11:27
baby. It's not your baby.
11:30
Your baby died and you stole my baby.
11:32
Liar, liar. Pants on Fire.
11:36
Let me have a look at the baby. I can tell by looking whose it
11:39
really is. Let's see, it has your eyes but
11:44
the shape of the face looks like her.
11:46
But it has your hair color. But the nose is definitely from
11:49
her. Boy, this is a tough one.
11:51
I can't tell. Honey, you're the king.
11:55
Figure this one out. Will you get?
11:57
Me a knife, Farrah. What for?
11:59
I will cut the baby in half so that they each can have a piece.
12:03
You're sick. It sounds fair to me.
12:06
No, Don't kill my baby. Please, King Solomon.
12:09
She can keep it. Just don't kill my baby.
12:11
Take the baby, ma'am, he is obviously yours.
12:15
Thank you, King Solomon, you have the wisdom of God.
12:20
And you need to get a life like. Well man, how did you know?
12:26
I mean, yes, Your Highness. You planned that.
12:32
You mean the ninth thing was just to get the real mom to
12:34
spare her Sonny's life. You knew that.
12:37
How did you know that? I.
12:38
Told you I asked God for wisdom. I don't know what I would have
12:42
done without it. Well.
12:43
I know what I'm going to do without all that money.
12:45
You should have asked for absolutely nothing.
12:52
I should tell her that God said because I asked for wisdom, he'd
12:55
give me riches and honor along with it.
12:58
Getting and keeping wisdom brings riches and honor.
13:01
I'm going to live to be the richest king in all the world.
13:04
I should tell her so she won't be mad at me.
13:07
Boy. Am I tired?
13:17
I don't know what's worse, killing Philistines or building
13:21
a temple. Killing Philistines, now that's
13:24
something we haven't had to do for a long time.
13:27
Not. Since Solomon became king, we've
13:29
been at peace. He doesn't need us to be
13:32
soldiers. That is, there's nothing to do.
13:35
But now that we volunteered to help build the temple, we're
13:39
back to working hard. Well, I'd rather do this any
13:42
day. Killing Philistines is risky
13:45
business. At least this way my wife
13:47
doesn't worry if I come home late at night.
13:49
I. Hear you.
13:51
Hey, remember when David killed Goliath?
13:54
We chased Philistines for a week?
13:56
I'll. Bet David would be proud of his
13:58
son King Solomon if he were still alive.
14:01
Israel is healthy, everyone is prospering.
14:04
There's no war. This is the first time we've
14:08
been at peace. I don't know how he does it.
14:11
I do King Solomon has the wisdom of God.
14:15
I must. No, really, haven't you heard
14:18
the story? What story?
14:20
When Solomon first became king, God appeared to him in a dream
14:24
and offered to give him anything he wanted.
14:27
Anything. Anything Solomon.
14:30
Chose peace, huh? Nope.
14:33
Prosperity. Nope.
14:35
What? Did he choose?
14:36
Wisdom, he wanted to know right from wrong so our nation could
14:40
be blessed. I guess he understood that
14:43
blessed is the nation whose God is the Lord.
14:46
Psalm 3312, when God is. Our Lord our.
14:50
King, we do things his way. That's why Solomon asked for
14:55
wisdom. Wow.
14:59
Most people would have been selfish and big money or.
15:02
Honor, that's the best part, God said to Solomon.
15:06
I'll give you wisdom. And since you weren't selfish,
15:10
I'll also give you riches and honor.
15:13
So. That's why King Solomon has the
15:15
money to pay us to build this temple.
15:18
Yep, and Speaking of building the temple, it isn't going to
15:21
build itself. We better get back to work.
15:24
Oh. Yeah, back to work.
