    Trampling Thanksgiving (Run, Turkey, Run) Psalm 100:1-5 I know some of you will find this hard to believe, but I don’t like to be controversial and cause a stink or alienate people. I will. And I have, and I probably will again… today… but I don’t like it… I like to ...read more

Last week, we looked at the highlights of Samson's life - the three W's - Samson's Wedding, Samson's Wager and Samson's Wrath. We have learned first of all that Samson insisted in marrying the woman in Timnah ...read more
