The Relevance of the Book of Judges to Us as Christians Today

The bleak truth about most people who claim to be Christians today is that their foundation of belief is mainly built on what mere mortals like themselves say and do and on the traditions and commandments of the same mere mortals instead of being built solely and solidly on the word of God.

In other words, many Christians do what is right in their own eyes (or in the eyes of other humans and/or organizations), not recognizing, as was the pattern of Israel throughout the Old Testament, that we, like they, have a King whose authority we are under and whom we are subject to, should be wholeheartedly loyal to, and to whom we owe our complete, total and uncompromised allegiance, obedience, honor, respect, and love.
