In those days Israel had no king; all the people did whatever seemed right in their own eyes.

Judges 21:25

When he got home, he took a knife and cut his concubine’s body into twelve pieces. Then he sent one piece to each tribe throughout all the territory of Israel.

Judges 19:29

• The book of Judges leaves us with a look at Israel living like the Canaanites.
• Personal sin.
• Religious sin.
• National sin.
• There is no king.
• People live in subjective truth.
• They do whatever they feel is right…no standard.
• When Jesus isn’t King, believers are the same as the world.
• Ephesians 5:1-6
• When Jesus isn’t King, the weak are abused.
• Matthew 24:12
• When Jesus is King, men admit their failures.
• Proverbs 28:13
• When Jesus isn’t King, anger goes unchecked.
• Proverbs 19:19
• When Jesus is King, you will ask Him for direction.
• Isaiah 30:21
