Through its succession of corruptive examples of doing what is right in one's own eyes concerning religious practice, Judges 17-18 urges us to be faithful to God and His Word with leaders who are faithful to God and His Word as we carry out His gospel mission under the kingship of Christ.
1. Corruptive personal self-made religion (17:1-13)
*Self-establish idols, shrines, and priests "blessed by the LORD" (1-6)
*Legitimization and "prosperity from the LORD" with the "right kind" of priest (7-13)
*Be faithful to God and His Word with leaders who are faithful to God and His Word.
2. The corruptive spread of self-made religion (18:1-31)
*A twisted mission of conquest "under the eye of the LORD" (1-10)
*Legitimizing the conquest with the confiscation of a self-made religion (11-26)
*Successful conquest and establishment of self-made religion (27-31)
*Carry out God's gospel mission according to His Word under the kinship of Christ
