    The Road To Ruin

    Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 1, 2001
    based on 94 ratings
     | 10,856 views

    Samson was on the road to ruin because he fraternized with the enemy, wasted his strength and was deluded by pride.

    The story of Samson begins much like the story of the other judges of Israel. The nation was in misery because of the domination of a rival country that was oppressing them. That nation was the Philistine nation. (Interestingly, the word Philistine is where we get our word “Palestinian,” so this ...read more

    Success lies not in achieving what you aim at but in aiming at what you ought to achieve. Samson missed the mark. His aim was his pleasures. It cost him the ultimate sacrifice, his life. It’s easy to see ourselves through his mistakes. Let’s examine it to

    Introduction The name Samson comes from the Hebrew word meaning "strong" His life was to be an example of strength and honor. We can divide his life into three equal parts: 1. His Conception 2. His Calling 3. His Corruption When all is said and done, Samson was sidelined by sin. He was to be an ...read more

    The answer to his own riddle, is the revelation from God to Samson, about what must he do in his life. It’s so tragic that Samson answered the wrong answer, for his own riddle.

    SAMSON’S RIDDLE Judges 14:14,18 (AMP) And he said to them, Out of the eater came forth food, and out of the strong came forth sweetness. And they could not solve the riddle in three days. What is sweeter than honey? What is stronger than a lion? What is the answer to this riddle? I believed the ...read more

    In the Book of Judges, there were two most prominent Judges, namely Gideon and Samson, 3 chapters were devoted to Gideon but 4 chapters to Samson. Samson was a very INTRIGUING CHARACTER to study, he was physically strong but he was morally weak.

    Now we like times of great victory and accomplishment but they are most likely going to be dangerous if you allow yourself to be filled with pride. God will see to it that his children know they are not self-sufficient.

    The weak strong man. Judges 15:18-20 06/29/05 After Samson had slain 1000 Philistines, he was about to die of thirst.

    It is odd when you get to thinking about the Philistines and Samson. They knew his weakness but did not know what gave him great strength. His weakness of course was women.

    The weak strong man 10. Judges 16:4-21. 07/20/05 These last two studies in the life of Samson are dark scenes and a great warning of the danger in walking after the lust of the flesh. Samson’s disregard of the call of God in his life has led him down the street of dead end and no turning back. ...read more
