| Losing God's word in church. |
In chapter 34 we read the incredible story of finding the book of the Law of Moses in the temple. It is an amazing story of revival and change brought by the power of God's word. Before I get started on what I am wanting to look at I want us to see the power God's word brought on the people. A true renewal started among the people of God and a return to keeping the commandments God had given. This to me is a reminder of the power of the word of God.
However, I have to wonder how you can lose the word of God in the temple of God. It's like losing the Bible in the church. Yet it makes perfect sense. When people see the church (the temple) as merely a place of rituals to please God and not a place to know God, then it is easy to see how the Word of God can be lost and forgotten. Whenever ritual reigns, even if the ritual is contemporary music, videos, and upscale sermons, then God's word is lost.
