If you're interested you can find out at the link. The thing that caught my attention is how we are like Israel right now as the people of israel were in the time of The Judges.

The book of Judges records a very sinful and self-indulgent period in the nation of Israel where most of the nation abandoned God, went after other gods and lived as they desired. Consequently, God let them indulge in sin. When the prophet Azariah said Israel was without a teaching priest, he meant there was no priest that was teaching Scripture. Judges 18 tells us that Israel had priests but none of them were teaching the law. They ignored the law of Moses. As a result, God allowed Israel to sin and reap the severe consequences. Romans 1:24, 26, 28 reminds us that when people refuse to stop sinning, God will let them go their our own way and suffer. But under King Asa the nation of Israel sought the Lord and He let the nation find Him. Azariah’s illustration reveals that seeking the Lord means pursuing a relationship with the true God, learning what He wrote in the Bible, and then obeying Him. That is, God is your first priority in every way.

Important part of Scripture. Stands to reason...someone who is in a state of mortal sin and has no desire to repent....well, God is going to turn away from him or her and any thoughts or prayers are going to fall on deaf ears. That is why confession and the desire to do better (repent), is such an important element in our journey to salvation.

Scripture is very clear on this matter.........
