When you're operating outside of your calling, you're operating outside of God's power.

Dr. Tony Evans says we need to stick with what makes us unique.

He's calling us to live in this world, but he's calling us to a value system that is different than the world in which we're in.

This is the alternative broadcast featuring the timeless biblical teachings from the archives of Dr. Tony Evans.

The recipe of faith has only one ingredient, God. Today, Dr. Evans tells us about the trouble one biblical character got into when he tried adding some spice to the mix.

Let's join him.

Football games have halftime.

Half time is a time of resting and assessment.

It is a short break in the middle of the game to kind of regather and re-look at things.

How have things been going the first half?

What adjustments need to be made for the remaining of the contest? We've shown you numbers of lives of numbers of people in the Bible who were broken, where life created a dilemma for them,

but whom God raised up to use in a marvelous way.

And he still has plans for you.

Our final personality for this series is a well-known biblical character.

His name is Samson.

When you read his story, you might be tempted to think he don't belong there.

But there he is, big as life in the chapter that talks about the great men and women of faith in Hebrews 11.

But he does start out very powerfully in chapter 13, verse 5,

for behold, talking to Samson's mother, you shall conceive and give birth to a son.

And no razor shall come upon his head, for the boy shall be a Nazarite to God from the womb.

And he shall begin to deliver Israel from the hand of the Philistines.

He would have been a star today because of all he had going for him.
