The Sad Case of Vanishing Values (6 of 6)
Series: Bring Back the Glory
Dr. Adrian Rogers
Judges 17:1-6
8-28-94
Would you take God’s Word and be turning to the book of Judges chapter 17. And actually, we’re coming today to the last message in this series, Bring Back the Glory. I pray God that we’ve learned some things and we’ll learn some things today that will help us as God’s people to Bring Back the Glory to this nation.

And the man Micah had an house of gods, and made an ephod, and sons, who became his priest.” Now all of that may not make a lot of sense to you right now, it will in a moment, I trust. But now we come to verse 6 and look at verse 6, which is key and pivotal. “In those days there was no king in Israel, but every man did that which was right in his own eyes.” No autho ...
