A Pendulum of Conflict - Judges 15:1-20
Notes
Transcript
God wants us to act (not react).
Why should we act according to God’s will??
2 Reasons
1. Because retaliation leads to more retaliation: Samson was denied his wife, so he torched a field, so the Philistines torched his wife, so Samson slaughtered many. (Judges 15:1-8 NKJV)
2. Because retaliation prioritizes self: Samson hid in Judah, so the Philistines attacked Judah, so Judah captured and delivered Samson. Then Samson killed a thousand, and Samson depended on God to quench his thirst. (Judges 15:9-20 NKJV)
