    Samson's Achilles' Heel

    Contributed by Raymond Lu on Aug 8, 2010
     | 10,181 views

    The truth is, we have our own “Achilles’ heel.” These are areas of the enemy’s favorite target points. We may fall like Samson (only He knows) except when we lean on God’s grace in the spiritual battle. When God gives special abilities, the more we shall

    Those who are familiar with Greek mythology sure read about Achilles. Achilles was the bravest, and the most handsome warrior in the army of Argamemnon.

    We have all experienced failure like Samson. But do you feel your hair starting to grow back???

    The High Cost of Living Low Some are born to privilege, w/ many advantages, and can't seem to succeed, and then others are the opposite, born to nothing, and rise above it all to great success. Samson was an example of the former. He was born at a special time in Israel's history. 7 times this ...read more

    Samson’s life was characterized NOT by his weakness, but by his strength. Why is that? Because he grew through his weakness. He turned to God in his time of weakness and God turned that moment when Samson was weak, into something great! God can and wi

    A look at several (from entertainment and science) who started out as failures but became great successes. Samson is our model of one who started well, failed miserably, but was restored.

    Samson Part 1 Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,823 views

    Samson had everything going for him: supportive, godly parents, a good home environment, and blessing from God. So why did he decide to walk a path of selfishness and what does that say to us?

    Samson is a puzzling character. He had great successes for the nation of Israel but personally was a total failure. He was as weak morally and spiritually as he was strong physically. Why the Lord ever used him is beyond me and why his story is just so interesting and compelling floors me. I think ...read more

    A study of waste and wasted potential. Samson had such potential to be a great man of God. Instead of treasuring the gifts he'd been given, he wasted his strength on his own desires.
