SERIES: The Search for B.I. (Biblical Intelligence)
TITLE: When the Word is LOST
TEXT: II Kings 22:8-11
The time of King Josiah was a restoration movement within the fallen nation. Hilkiah the High Priest found the “book of the law” that had somehow become lost “in the house of the Lord” (II Kings 22:8), “and he read it”. It is an amazing admission of how the people had abandoned their connection with the God of Israel whom they professed to love, honor, and serve. When King Josiah heard was in the “book of the law” his reaction was that of astonishment and it became his purpose to do what God had commanded His people to do. In so many ways the religious world has lost their devotion to the Scriptures and the simplicity of the gospel of Christ. It is possible for God’s people to allow His Word to become lost even in the church and thus forsake His will. The cure is having a genuine sensitivity for Biblical devotion and intelligence.
