Good Morning Dear Brother Toledo,
My you can say things so well in a short way. I must say amen. Thank you for your post.
Here are a few verses on doing whatever is right in our own eyes. Moses declared that this was one of the practices of the wilderness that needed to cease. Yet the time of the Judges (a time of degradation) is described as everyone doing what is right in his own eyes. LORD SAVE US FROM OUR OWN PREFERENCES AND TASTES.
Hope, Don Rutledge
