Teaching and Preaching Daily

Since my last entry, I have read Judges 11:5-15:6 and Acts 4:22-5:42. My favorite verses are:

Judges 13:24 And the woman bare a son, and called his name Samson: and the child grew, and the LORD blessed him.

Acts 5:42 And daily in the temple, and in every house, they ceased not to teach and preach Jesus Christ.

Samson is a well-known man from the Bible. He is mostly remembered for his relationship with Delilah and how she brought about his downfall. But at the beginning of his life, he was blessed by the Lord. As long as he was faithful to the Lord and obeyed Him, he was blessed. Unfortunately for Samson and the people he could have influenced for good, he made bad choices as he grew older. Notice in the passage from Acts that teaching and preaching about Jesus is not a once a week, church only, thing. The disciples did it daily in the temple and in every house—what an example for us to follow! We, the children of God, should want to talk about Jesus all the time; He is the greatest thing ever in our lives! If Samson had been busy doing God’s work daily, his life might have turned out much differently.
