What happens when a man is chosen by God but ruled by his desires? Is it possible to be set apart , Spirit-empowered, and still spiritually shallow? In Judges 14, Samson's strength hides a deeper weakness--he's empowered by the Spirit but compromised in character. His story serves as a sobering warning: being used by God is not not that same as being close to Him. This message calls us to pursue heart-level holiness, not just external obedience, and points us to Christ--the only one who can truly satisfy the desires that drive us.
