Touch My Child and Get Hurt

Leviticus 20:1-5 ESV The LORD spoke to Moses, saying, 2 "Say to the people of Israel, Any one of the people of Israel or of the strangers who sojourn in Israel who gives any of his children to Molech shall surely be put to death. The people of the land shall stone him with stones. 3 I myself will set my face against that man and will cut him off from among his people, because he has given one of his children to Molech, to make my sanctuary unclean and to profane my holy name. 4 And if the people of the land do at all close their eyes to that man when he gives one of his children to Molech, and do not put him to death, 5 then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in whoring after Molech.


This was this mornings study. Got to love a subject like Child Sacrifice! That will get you going first thing in the morning. We really don’t see much of this for the most part in America except for an occasion new broadcast in a major city or and episode of Law & Order. The picture of Abraham going to sacrifice Isaac comes to mind, but that is about it. But how else do we sacrifice Children.

We sacrifice our children by not spending time with them. We sacrifice our children when we neglect them by not leading them in faith. We sacrifice our children to Molech when we allow them to develop a love for the things of the world and not for Christ. Most children of Christians spend their lives worshiping Molech, sacrificing themselves to Molech and tipping their hat to Yahweh. This is because we set them up for it by not teaching them to find pleasure in exalting Jehovah.

God has a word to those who would suffer His children, to those who would even sacrifice them.

5 then I will set my face against that man and against his clan and will cut them off from among their people, him and all who follow him in whoring after Molech.

Now how do you feel with what you do to you kids, with what you allow in to your kids lives, what you permit them to love instead of Christ. Allowing the to love the world and follow it, is as the Bible says whoring and we will be cut off from God for it.
