Initially verse 17:2 seems like a great example in grace: Micah (to his mother): 2\u00a0Do you remember those 1,100 pieces of silver that were stolen from you?

\nsilver that were stolen from you? I heard you curse the person who took them.
\nWell, I have them. I took them, and now I want to return them to you.<\/i><\/p>\n
\nMay my son be blessed by the Eternal!<\/p>\n
\nWhat is going on here? Why are these people ignoring God, while quazi-following
\nGod? I think verse 17:8 really give us insight to what is happening:<\/p>\n
\nthe judges,<\/i> there was no king in Israel, and everyone did what seemed right
\nin his own eyes.<\/p>\n
\nof truth Biblically. We often distort the Bible to fit what we want to hear or
\ndo, as with Micah\u2019s mother. Having a household god seems right and they often
\ncan worship it. They may believe that their worship is going to God, but rather
\nmisses the mark.<\/p>\n
\nof Judges the key to the end is just this. People are doing what they think is
\nright and not want God wants. We are doing this today with the \u201cProsperity
\nGospel\u201d where preachers are selecting verses that work for their theology and
\nrejecting the rest of the Gospel. Think about it, where do the disciples live
\nlavishly and are blessed beyond their dreams?<\/p>\n
\nIsrael almost wipes one of their tribes. I still am trying to get this story,
\nbut it\u2019s interesting how this tribe drifts from the one true God and needs
\ncorrection. My question today is do Jews today relate themselves back to one of
\nJacob\u2019s sons or is the \u201ctribal\u201d system gone completely?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
