Introduction

Marshal Law, vigilantism, mass chaos, and confusion is what comes to mind if our world had no structure. Imagine what would happen if America abandoned its traffic system. Driving would be WWIII. What if we had no air traffic controllers? Would you fly?

Scripture has much to say to us concerning our eyes. This book will lay out in undeniable detail the problems a society faces when left to ourselves and do what is right in our own eyes.

The perils of our world (brokenness, heartache, dysfunctional families, drug addictions, murder and much more) can all be traced back to someone doing what was right in their own eyes.

Let’s go back and see.

One day the serpent confronted Eve and convinced her to disobey what God said and eat of the tree. Notice, Satan appealed to Eve’s eyes by convincing her that they would come open and see themselves as gods, knowing good and evil. Disregarding God’s authority, Eve did what was right in her eyes and sent this world into total chaos.

The choice made by Adam and Eve got them
