Samson: Dealing With Fatal Flaws Series

Contributed by John Lowe on Jul 16, 2018

Samson’s feats are legendary but it’s his flaws that prove to be fatal. His two greatest weaknesses were revenge and romance. In fact, his weakness for women often led him on the road to revenge. He was extremely gifted, but certainly not godly.
