It is so sad that we live in a world so obsessed with image. As someone said recently, I love cocky, whereas God hates it. That is what is being taught to children and adults in all areas of life. There is nothing wrong with looking and doing your best, but not...

Here we see Samson, the most famous of the Judges of Israel falling to his lowest level of sin.  He has done almost everything a person can do that is being used of God and yet God has been patient with him and not let him be consumed by his sin. Finally, he is...
