Samson: The Weakest Strongman (Part 1) Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Aug 18, 2022

Yes, Samson was the strongest man in the world. But there was a glaring character flaw. No one could defeat Samson matching strength to strength. They did not have to match his strength because all they needed to do was to exploit his inner weakness.

Prayer is part of the daily sanctification process by the Holy Spirit to prepare us to meet Jesus face-to-face when we leave this world and enter eternity (John 16:13-15; 1 Corinthians 3:16; Ephesians 1:13; Galatians 5:16-21). Many 'techniques' have risen to help people along the path ...read more

Fighting Abortionist Terrorism With Prayer

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Apr 18, 2009

Sermon for Pro-Life Service 22 April 2009 I don’t think it’s a total coincidence that New York legalized abortion about the same time that Rosary devotions began to wane in the late 1960’s.
