Judges 14

"Then the Spirit of the Lord came powerfully upon him." v.19

Samson impulsively used the special gift God gave him for selfish purposes. Today, God distributes abilities and skills throughout the church. The apostle Paul states that these gifts are to be used "to do his work and build up the church, the body of Christ." To use these abilities for selfish purposes is to rob the church and fellow believers of strength. As you use the gifts God has given you, be sure you are helping others, not just yourself.
