Denomination: United Methodist
While Samson obeyed his calling through disobedience, anger and revenge, Jesus obeyed His calling out of obedience faith and love.
Obeying the Calling I want to go back to a time over a thousand years BC, to the tribe of Dan. A time, after the great leaders of Moses and Joshua, and before the succession of kings. It is the Dark ages of Israel’s history. There is no succession of godly leaders: Judges 21:25 In those days ...read more
