The Pitfalls of Passion

After a short moment when Samson leaned in to surrender fully to the work of God, and after he experienced a measure of breakthrough, back he goes again to his old ways. Inexplicably, Samson goes and finds a prostitute down in the Philistine territory of Gaza. After narrowly escaping with his life from that sordid scene, he eventually links up with the infamous Delilah - a sensual relationship that would soon set in motion the events which would ultimately end Samson’s life. The Scriptures take sexual purity very seriously, and in our modern culture the Church must remain as committed as ever to preserving our bodies in honor. This message shows how young people become easily seduced by the enemy’s proven weapon of sexual temptation. May we respond to the grace of God and avoid the pitfalls that are attached to our passions.
