In the story of Micah and a young Levite in the Book of Judges, the spiritual decay of a family is validated by a compromised and corrupted religious leader. In this broadcast of Let the Bible Speak, we continue our series “Strange Times” by seeing the consequences of spiritual leaders not standing up and speaking out against sin and error.
Strange Times – Part 1
What happens to a society when there is no universal standard of authority and conduct? It may sound appealing for every person to determine their own “truth”, live by their own morality, and believe and worship according to their own theology, but ancient Israel in the era of the judges illustrates, that this led to chaos. It is no different in our own times. The book of Judges relays some head-scratching stories that played out in the lives of God’s own people during this time when “every man did what was right in his own eyes.” In the story of a man named Micah, we see how this philosophy led to a spiritual breakdown in the home that then reverberated to every other sector of their society.
