Confronting Evil
Judges 13-16

We, like Samson, have a struggle to face. Our mission is to work to have an effect for God within a secular culture, including using today's technology. But the secular culture seduces us in the same way that the Philistine culture seduced the Israelites, offering pleasure and gratification every moment without having to consider the cost. Samson soon discovered that he had to pay a price for his failure to stay true to the Lord and it was the loss of his relationship with God. Samson was a Nazarite ("separate, dedicated, consecrated") to God. The exceptional practices of the Nazirites constantly reminded the Israelites of their need to turn away from sin and the pagan culture that surrounded them. The Nazirites were a living testimony to the call to be different.


Confrontando La Maldad
Jueces 13-16

Nosotros como Sansón tenemos una lucha que enfrentar. Nuestra misión es obrar dentro de una cultura secular para que esta sea afectada para Dios, incluso usando la tecnología de hoy. Pero la cultura secular nos seduce del mismo modo que la cultura filistea sedujo a los israelitas, ofreciendo placer y gratificación cada momento, sin tener que considerar el costo. Sansón pronto descubrió que tenía que pagar un precio por su fracaso en mantenerse fiel al Señor y fue la pérdida de su relación con Dios. Sansón era un nazareo (“separado dedicado, consagrado”) a Dios. Las prácticas excepcionales de los nazareos constantemente recordaban a los israelitas su necesidad de apartarse del pecado y de la cultura pagana que les rodeaba. Los nazareos eran testimonio viviente al llamado a ser diferente.
