When people abandon God’s Word, they don’t stop being religious—they just make their own religion. In Judges 17–18, we watch Israel create idols, invent priests, and shape worship around personal preference rather than truth. Pastor Paul shows how Micah and the tribe of Dan believed they were honoring the Lord, yet their worship was based on convenience, emotion, and self-interest. This passage invites us to examine the foundations of our faith and to hold fast to Scripture as the only true standard for worship and life.
