The Bible doesn't mention any of our modern sports--it might not mention sports at all, but that doesn't mean there weren't athletic people in Biblical times. The more I read the story of Samson, the more I see Samson in the athletes of today. I found myself having more sympathy for him. Let's talk about vulnerability, strength, and compassion. 3 The angel of the Lord appeared to the woman and said to her, “It is true that yo… Read more »
