Samson the Modern-Day America: Is America Doomed?

Most people are familiar with the story of Samson, the only man to hold incredible strength in the Bible. Born to dedicate a life of service to the Lord, he was ordained by God to be a Nazarite and destined to judge and rule the Philistines. Similar to Samson, America was born to serve God. When settlers arrived, there were rules and requirements to follow, which were Gods rules and laws. Prayer was openly practiced, and Gods commandments were observed and became a part of ordinary life. But now were walking away from Jesus and doing things our own way. We are not growing or maturing spiritually, and we are making a rotten mess of our lives and of our nationjust like when Samson made a rotten mess of his life for God and his nation. Many pulpit speakers think that Samsons big sin or weakness was women, but the author argues it was really the sin of always thinking about himself. Its not too late to rediscover a godly life and save ourselves by studying and learning from the life of Samson.
