Theme: “What’s Right in My Own Eyes”

Key Verse: Judges 17:6

“In those days there was no king in Israel; everyone did what was right in his own eyes.”

The Book of JudgesIs what’s right “objective” or “subjective?”(“objective” = without personal feelings /

“subjective” = with personal feelings)

Is there right and wrong that is applicable across any and all cultures?
