Confronting Evil

Lesson 1.4 | Confronting Evil Living for God Where Culture Is Influenced The lesson is filmed in Tel Beth Shemesh, a significant location in the Promised Land, which provides a backdrop for exploring the challenges of living faithfully amidst societal pressures and cultural influences. The story of Samson is used to illustrate the dangers of succumbing to the surrounding culture's evils. Samson, despite his strength, ultimately failed to be a distinct witness for God due to his entanglement with the Philistine way of life. The lesson emphasizes that to effectively influence modern society, believers must live lives that are distinct from the world, exhibiting virtue and godliness. This means living in accordance with God's principles and values, rather than conforming to cultural norms that contradict them.
