Israel settled for good enough and left some enemies in the land, and within one generation the people no longer knew the Lord. In Binge the Bible, Pastor Dale Hester takes a 40,000 foot look at Judges 1 through 3 and the cost of compromise.
1. The compromise: unfinished business leads to captivity. The enemies you tolerate today will enslave you tomorrow.
2. The cycle: rebellion, consequences, crying out to God, deliverance, and then relapse.
3. The cycle of short-term fixes: quick fixes and rules have no transforming power. Only a new heart can break the cycle.
