When you hear the word “Desperate”, what emotions rise up in you? In the “Grand Narrative” journey, as we try to gain an overview of the story God is writing about our human race, from the very beginning, the book of Judges is aptly named since the word ‘judge’ calls us to consider law and order, crimes and punishment, courtrooms and juries, judges and lawyers, right and wrong, innocent and guilty, desperate times.
Sadly, the 21 chapters of Judges walk us through a 300-year period of Israel’s history which was generally a dark time of moral chaos, summarized by this statement which concludes the book of Judges: “In those days Israel had no king; everyone did as they saw fit.” (Judges 21:25) No matter the person, place or time, it’s a dangerous thing when a person, a family, an organization, or a nation does whatever they desire without restraint or accountability, right?

“Let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us, with our eyes fixed on Jesus…” (Heb. 12:1,2)
