In the time of the judges, the Israelites didn't know God. They hadn't been through the parting of the seas like the generations before them. They didn't watch Jericho fall with the sound of trumpets. So when they saw the people around them worshipping the gods of money and sex, they followed right along. Pastor Bill will point out that if you haven't experienced the goodness and the greatness of God for yourself, you, too, will be tempted to follow the world's gods of money and sex.
