The Bible describes a time in Israel's history when God appointed individuals called Judges to battle the enemies of their culture. Samson, one of the great judges, defeated the Philistines using only the jawbone of a dead jackass he found by the road. This blog is my attempt to use the modest gifts given to me in the power of the Spirit to resist those who are seeking to secularize our culture.
