Introduction:
Al of mankind must avoid doing evil in the sight of the Lord and not fall prey to the gods around us.
Have you considered the idea that perhaps God still is in the raising up Judges business and if so who could it be in our day or the days before us?
Jesus obviously is the greatest of the Judges ever raised in the likeness of that calling.
But, let’s begin by first looking at what Israel did in the days of the Judges to see if we can learn and be encouraged by these things that were written aforetime...
I. Evil in the sight of the Lord
In this one book alone it states (7x’s) 2:11; 3:7; 3:12; 4:1; 6:1; 10:6; 13:1
55x’s the Bible records the saying “evil in the sight of the Lord”...
Everybody chose to do what was right in their own eyes… 17:6; 21:25
Even after Judges when there was a King in the land...
forsaking God’s law and choosing another to obey is doing evil in the sight of the Lord...
Israel wanted what they saw around them, just like we do...
II.
gods of the people around them
Part of our failing is our eyes, they develop for us a priority based on what we see...
The lust of the eyes is something to overcome...
We are not to judge good or bad simply because it exists in our midst...
Learning is needed for us to take all captive for Christ and measure it against the standard He has handed down to us...
Even before Judges God warned those who followed Moses in the wilderness...
That’s why God wanted the inhabitants of Canaan utterly destroyed...
Today we must do the same thing.
Utterly destroy those strongholds which set themselves up against God...
Canaanites = Compromites
Jebusites = Justifites
Amorites = Moneyites
Amalakites = Mine-O-ites
Perizzites = Personalites
Philistines = FeelGoodites
Sidonians = Selfonians
Hivites = Eye-ites
Hittites = HIdolatrites
[NAME THE MODERN DAY CANAANITES] What modern day name would you give to the tribes in Canaan that God commanded to be driven out?
Which would represent our struggle today.
1. Canaanites, 2. Jebusites, 3. Amorites, 4. Amalikites, 5. Perizzites, 6. Philistines, 7. Sidonians, 8. Hivites, 9. Hittites.

Before we knew God we were captive to the gods around us...
You need to utterly destroy the “Compromites” because they cause you to do evil in the sight of the Lord...
We cannot fall under the spell of the “FeelGoodites” for they take us away from the true God…and have us making wrong judgments...
Do not serve the “Moneyites” it's priorities are at enmity with the way and will of God…
you do not need all that you see around you…
don’t keep up with the Jones - keep up with the Lord…
where can He be found…
what does He have in store for you???
Turn away from the “Hidolatrites” their false worship will enslave you…
You will find yourself at war with God and only He can save you
70x’s in 66 verses the Bible speaks about strongholds that need to be torn down and guess who He has raised up to tear them down???
III.
God raises up Judges
We are the imperfect Judges God has raised up today...
We will find ourselves in the stories of the men and women who God counted on to lead His people out of bondage...
When the last two tribes of God’s people were on the cusp of their destruction by the Babylonians God speaks to His prophet Ezekiel and He says this...
Who among us will...
stop compromising our faith - that’s the “compromites” way
quit justifying our actions - that’s the “justifites” way
end money prioritizing our paths - that’s the “moneyites” way
Where is the man or women God has raised to...
lookout for more than just mine - that’s the “mine-O-ites” way
consider others better than your own personal interests - that’s the way of the “personalites”
know that just because it feels good and sounds good don’t make it good - that’s how the “feelgoodites” do
Is their a King in Israel today??? because everyone seems to do what is right in his own eyes - just like the “eyeites”
The “selfonians” have got us convinced that we should look out for self and know one else...
That’s not what God is raising up for His people...
And the "hidolatrites” whom we have refused to utterly destroy from the land
have us worshipping all types of things ahead of God Almighty..
As God’s people we look for loopholes to stay connected to a condemned world...
Today we need to fight - and not like the world...
Yes we have been raised up as Kings and Priests...
Yes we are to bring hope to the masses...
God has raised up Jesus who Saves us
