A Heartbeat from Disaster (94C)

Date: 8/8/2006

References: 2 Kings 23:4-16

Introduction:

Israel and Judah had fallen from God's desire and purpose.

Astrology is still dangerous.

We've got to destroy those things that have led us astray.
Josiah destroyed the astrological shrines Solomon had erected for his wives.
This drift from the true God happened slowly.
Horoscopes today are not a harmless pastime.

Our culture is absorbed with sex.

Josiah destroyed the phallic symbol in the midst of the Temple.
A whole industry was devoted to sacred sex in ancient Israel.
This happened slowly, by people allowing such behavior little by little.

Child sacrifice is a horrid problem.

Children were destroyed before the god Molech in the belief that the adult's lives would be happier.
We destroy children with saline solutions because they seem like a burden.

Our nation may be destroyed, too.

Everyone had access to all manner of idols, within and outside the Temple.
Josiah, by God's leading, destroyed it all.
But it was too late: Israel and Judah were eventually taken into captivity because of their sins.
There is no guarantee the United States won't be destroyed.
We need to search our own lives to see if we're living faithfully.
