"And Spuison awoke out of his

"And ho did grind In the prison

Here was a man marvelously
endowed of God. He was called
Of God. So are you. Samson was
called when Israel was aervlng a
most rigorous bondage under the
Philistines. These Philistines were
tho dwellers in the lowlands and
alee dwelt on the borderland of
Egypt. They are typical of many
of otir churches today who are '
dwelling down in the lowlands
spiritually and are right down on i
the borderland of the world try-,
Ing to live both In God's territory!
-dnrt the territory of the world.
Just as Israel would get their I
crops ready for the haiVesf. these;
Philistines would raid and rob
them. They would not even sl
low the Israelites to keep the nec
essary tools for harvesting ?heir ,
crops. They were hard masters
tnd 'srael wai suffering. God ,
looked down and saw the pitiable |
plight rf his people and deter- ,
mined io raise up a deliverer. He
jpMnferfred with h woman and
??lled hrr to special preparation
WW raising up a son who should
deliver Israel. This man was to
be a man of unusual powers, a '
?flan through whom God could
demonstrate to the world that He
could do through one man what 1
they could not do with their arm
els Without Him.
8o Samson was marvelously en-'
dowrd of God. but early In life h?
lightly esteemed hla divine call
W , Mko many a man today who
deaplee* his calling as a heavenly
Citizen and turna aalde to the 1
things of the world and neglects'
God. \ man who Is proud of his
heavenly calling will act accord
ingly before this world and will
n<* conform himself to the low
stand*rds of the worldly citizen.
SOSamson, lightly eateemlng hla
0*11 Ing. began to b# careless In his
relationships. He went down from
among the people of God and be
gan to court among the border
lartd dwellers. He went first to
Tlmna. where he fell In love with
a Woman. The use of these He-1
bro# words also has a special les-i
son for tia. Tlmna means ?*|n
fJMaee" and "woman" In ?ertp
? uaage always stands for a
?cfple So Samson for the
11 bf Increase embraced the,
staadarda of the
Id-dwellers. I Iks many of you I
May who have left your God and
yflnt convictions because you |
tnougnt a worldly alliance would
bettor you financially or socially, i
Samson came back to hia father
and told him of hla love for the
Philistine woman and hla inten
tlnn tn marry hor. H4s- father
protested against this worldly al
liance, but Samson only said,
".ffbe pleas?s me and I want her,"
and h? wont ahead ngmrdlUB <>r
warnings.
Sjutwin'w First Mistake
So he went down again to Tini
na to make arrangements for Ui?i.
weddlnK and on the way a lion
roared at him. but what are lions
to God's endowed men! Lions of
lust and passion and evil may
roar, but they hold no terror for
th^ God-empowered man. Samson
stepped aside and tore the lion to
pieces With his great strength and
went on as though nothing had
happened, The parly Chrlnllinm
went forth into a world of heath
endom *nd pagan superstition, u
world dominated by Imperial
Rome and a world that wor
shipped at the shrine of physical
strength and milHary-eueeess and
yet these Christians, few in num-.
ber, weak, unknown and without
Influence were powerful enough to
make Christianity the vital tssuc
of their day. If the Christians
today had the |?ower they had In
the days of their purity from con
tamination with the world and or
their fellowship with C.od, Satan
today would not have the oppor
tunity he has to .exploit all these
errors, and falBo philosophies
would have no chance for success;
but we are away from Ood. With
all our boasted strength in Influ
ence and wealth and numbers, we
are powerless.
nut Samson went on and made
arrangements for his wedding and
came back home. On the way he
heard bees In the carcass of the
lioo.be had slain on his way down
and he stopped and ate honey out
of the carcass of the dead lion.
That will be true of every victor
In Christ, you will eat the sweets
of the conqueror. There Is no
feeling which brings satisfaction '
like that which comes with the
knowledge of having conquered
some lust or base paasion. When
we win the victory over the flesh,
Pgul tells us we coine out more
ftian conqueror, for we have the
satisfaction and peace which
comes with the knowledge that
wt are right with God.
Hanwon In Betrayed
When Samson went back to:
Tluina and married his girl, and
thus compromised his position,
the Philistines began to flatter
him as they will always flatter
God's specially endowed man
when they can get him to com
promise. They had a big banquet
attended by thirty Philistine
princes and they made Samson
the chief toastmaster. Note now
Samson's position at this banquet.
I?ater we will see his position at
another banquet when the forces
of the world have accomplished
their purpose. So Samson as I
toastmaster proposes a riddle and
makes the proposition that If the
princes solve It he will give each
of them a change of raiment, but
If they do not they are give him
a change of raiment. Naturally
they accepted and then they be
gan to cast about to find out the
answer. Their first thought was
to get his wife to help them. She
was of their own people and being
a worldling, naturally her sympa

kind. So she finds out the an-,

Satnson. betrayed and angered,
goes down and slays these treach
erous princes and takes their |
clothing In payment of his pledge
and then goes back home to his
father mad. He stays a few days
until he gets over his pout with
his wife snd then goes baclt to see
her. When he got there her
father told him that he thought
Samson had cast his daughter off
and so he had already given his
wife to the young man that
stood up with her at (be wedding.
This made Samson mad and he
went and caught some foxes and
tied firebrands tn their tails and
turned them loose In the Philis
tine ripe grain flelds and set fire
to them.

and burned her and her whole

Samson, again enraged, goes.
down and slays the Philistines
hip and thluh and then goes up
and dwells In a cave at Etam.
Now the Philistines make ready
to make war on Israel and serve
notter oir Isnrrtthat the only es

to deliver Samson over into'their

Samson permits himself to be
delivered to the Philistines, but
when he gets In their camp, he
broaks the bonds that fetter him.
seises the Jaw-bone of an ass. and
single handed slays a thousand of
the Philistines.
Sainton am] the ChrlMUn
Ry that time you can Imagine
where the rest of them were. They
were gone. They wore afraid of
this remarkable man. Truly he
was wonderfullv endowed of God.
but never has there been a person
so marvelously endowed as the
Christian. Whio the apostles
went out to spresd Christianity,
they were men without learning.
Paul was the only accomplished
scholar among them and he had
renounced his position and wan
hsted and despised wherever he
went. In prison, in chains, hound
ed from town to town, with no
learning and no Influence, these
simple messengers of God went
out Into the pagan empire of
Kome and faced the power of that
great empire, and defied the relig
ious bigots of their day and the
tiaditlons and customs and philos
ophy which surrounded them on
every side and at the close of their
ministry, we And the Roman Em
pire a seething masa, turned up
side down by these remarkably
endowed men. It would be the
same today If God s truth wasn't
bound. It is true Paul was often
held by a courteous and sympa
thetic Jailer, but yet ho was a
prisoner and today the truth is
held imprisoned by. men, who of
ten are courteous gentlemen and
sympathetic to tho truth, but yet
they are holding it a prisoner and
it is doing what It Is doing In
spite of Its bonds.
Next Samson goes up to Gaxa.
Ga*a means "strength" snd here
he went In to an harlot. The Phil
istines heard It rumored that Sam
son was In town and they began
to plot to overcome him. About
12 o'clock. Samson decided he had
better leave and he went out to
the city gates and found them
locked against him.
,14ut what are gates ami walla
to God's endowed men? Samson
Just backs up to the gates, pulls
them up posts and all. carries
them off up on the hill, throws
them down and goea on whistling
He then goes down to Sorek
and here he court? Delilah florek
means entanglement and Delilah
means the choice or delicate fruit.
So wo see Samson becoming en
tangled with the choice things of
the world. So we see (he church
today going down to Jlome and
becoming entangled with the
choice rituals and forms and cere
monies and today we find our
selves helplessly'bound. We havo
our little Raster programs that
we go* from Rome. You didn't
get your Easter from the resur

ery week. You got that from Pa
gan Rome. 1l came from the ob
servance of a day set aside for
the worship of Oster. Goddess of
Spring. And you got a lot of
things from Rome that today
have you entangled.
Ry this time, the Phllllstlnes
see they hav? been pursuing the
wrong course with Sam ?on They
see they cannot overpower him
until they discover the secret of
bis great strength. 8o they
change their tactics and set about
to rob him of his strength Like

She coaxes and persuades, and
begs, but Samson Just trifles with
her and lies to her. She reproaches
him for his lies and this process
goes on for days. Finally, weak
ened by days of dissipation and
sinful indulgence. Samson suc
cumbs to her wiles And tells her
that the secret of his strength
lay in the fact that the razor had
never touched hla head

things characterized {he Nusarlte.
He wore long hair, which was a
reproach for a man, thus slgnlfy

atalned from partaking of any
fruit of the vine, which In scrip
ture usage is symbolic of earthly
Joy or pleasure. The Nasairitc
was a separated man. He en

pastor or some one whom God hart
placed over you to study sin and
he as a watchman on the wall to
warn you of sin's approach, you
set your opinions agaltifl bin an*
refuse to tako warning. You aro
blind. Your spiritual eyes are
out. and like old Samson you are
eaay vtetlma for God-? imdiIm,
IIoh'i Want to See
So:nc of you will go through
these me'-tinars and hear the warn
ing? of God's prophet, and hoar
the tentimonioe- of those who have
reaped the harvest of sin and
those whose eyes have been open
ed to slii, and yet you will go on
and ^ay that you see no harm In
what you are doing and you will
ro right ahead till the crash
comes. You don't want to see the
harm?there is your trouble.
Hut now wc aeo Samson, his
MrniK'h Rone, his freedom gone
nnd his night gone and now he Is
put to grinding for the enemies of
God. Her? Is God's man. Ills eyes
out, Just a miserable slave for his
'?n<mlos. Like your churches to
day. Just grinding away, your
eyes out, your strength none, yiur
freedom gone, slaves to the tra
ditions nnd custom.1? of the world,
slaves to the fl^fh and It's lusts
and you are f'lil grinding.
