In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.
One of the most dangerous realities of being whom we are! It took only one generation after entering the promised land for Israel to lose the knowledge of who they were (Judges 2:10). History has proven that every generation is faced with this
issue. We have it today.
I lived in a small town in MN for 20 years. I helped the youth pastor with the bible studies of one church I attended. We had kids came in (pre-teens), who sat in the class and honesty said they had never seen a Bible.
When this happens we get a generation that grows up and does what is right in their own eyes: a generation that does not care about a child in the womb, about the sanctity marriage, or moral issues. Why should they, they have no basis for those moral decisions. Law becomes a manipulation of issues for personal gain.
We are to shine like lights into this darkness. Not with judgment, but with bold love. Taking a stance in the lunchrooms, the watering holes, the neighborhood, the city council meetings, PTA meetings, and the like. I know Satan is doing so.
Shalom
