Draw the Application from Delilah’s Character
A. What is Our Focus of Life?

The duty of men is to glorify God and enjoy Him forever (Shorter Cathecism). When our focus of life is materialistic, we don’t care about God. Man can only focus on one thing. Even the Bible mentions we cannot love God, love Mammon for either he will hate one, and love the other; or else he will hold to the one, and despise the other (Matt. 6:24). Before we same with the world, our conducts, our aim, our behaviour, and focus to enjoying this present life. But when we say we are Christian, it means that we follower of Christ; no more following what the world pursue. Delilah focused her life to receive a lot of money, to extend her life. She was a non-believer, believed in the God of Israel. This normal thing for her. But not same with us, we are Christian. Our focus of life need change, we cannot love money or we panic and worried and afraid of future life. What the Bible says? In Matthew 6:25-34 long verses remind us, God is the best provider, don’t worry about tomorrow God will take care of His children need. Our part is to seek first the kingdom of God, and his righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you (Matt 6:33).

    Luther’s understanding of spiritual and temporal authorities in 1523 is still prominent in the modern day government. Luther believed the bureaucratic leadership is a way to maintain order in a chaotic and sinful world even though Luther realized the state could also be dictatorial.

Luther stated the idea that Christian’s should not have temporal authority or law since they can rule themselves with the guidance of the Holy Spirit. However those who are not Christian’s must have temporal authorities so they do not implement their wicked deeds.…
