    A Thousand To One, And He Won! Series

    Contributed by Jonathan Spurlock on Apr 19, 2020
     | 2,438 views

    Samson was bound with ropes and handed over to his Philistine enemies. He faced odds against him of 1000 to 1 or more that he would survive, yet he did! And guess what he used to attack his enemies. . . .

    Introduction: Samson had taken revenge on the Philistines twice after his return to Timnath (Judges 15:1-8). Once he found out his father-in-law had given his bride to the “companion” or best man, as we would say these days, Samson caught 300 “foxes”. He then tied them tail-to-tail, placed a torch ...read more

     | 2,249 views

    A contentious spirit is like fire which burns up all that is good, and puts families, friends and co-workers at odds. This spirit finds a small fire of strife, kindles it and keeps feeding the issues which cause distrust, hatred or malice.

    Fire Of the Contentious The Negative Influences of a Person Who Seeks Strife The King James Bible tells us “As coals are to burning coals, and wood to a fire; So is a contentious man to kindle strife.” (Proverbs 26:21) “Contentious” (?????? ma?ôn) means to be argumentative, a person who is ...read more
