Paul had much correction to give to the Corinthians regarding their irreverence for the Lord’s Supper. What does it matter? God cares about the way we celebrate because our God is alive!
Samson wasted much of his life and God-given gifts, and ended up losing everything. But was it ever too late for him to repent and turn to God in faith? Thankfully, no. It wasn’t too late for Samson; it isn’t too late for you.
Although issues like gender roles are controversial today, the Bible speaks to these things, giving clear instruction about God’s divine design for us. How has God designed you? Live according to His design as Jesus’ disciple.
There was nothing about Samson that demonstrated he was a man that God would use for His own glory, but God chose him. There is nothing about any of us that God would choose us, either…but He does.
Christian: Are you conscious in your Christianity? Are you aware of your witness and impact upon others around you? Be it with potential idols or anything else, in all that you do, do it for the glory of God!
As seen in the life of Jephthah, pride is dangerous. Kill pride before it kills you! Submit yourself to Jesus Christ in humility, letting Him help you through your pride.
What did Paul mean by writing that he became all things to all men that he might save some? He meant that he did what it took to get himself out of the way so that others could see Jesus.
Ancient Israel started up her cycle of apostasy again and the only way she would experience God’s mercy was through real repentance. What they experienced spiritually with God, they would need to experience personally with Jephthah.
