In those days there was no king in Israel. Everyone did what was right in his own eyes.

(Judges 21:25 ESV)

Our fathers worshiped on this mountain, but you say that in Jerusalem is the place where people ought to worship.” Jesus said to her, “Woman,

believe me, the hour is coming when neither on this mountain nor in Jerusalem will you

worship the Father. You worship what you do not know; we worship what we know, for

salvation is from the Jews. (John 4:20-22 ESV)

But when some became stubborn and continued in unbelief, speaking evil of the Way before

For this reason, because I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the

saints, (Ephesians 1:15 ESV)

But I have this against you, that you have abandoned the love you had at first.

Remember therefore from where you have fallen; repent, and do the works you did at

first. If not, I will come to you and remove your lamp stand from its place, unless you repent.

(Revelation 2:4-5 ESV)
