God help us who are fakes...
Chuck was preaching a message about Rehoboam Soloman's son. Check out 1 Kings 12 and 2 Chronicles 11-12
Said son was the offspring of a ammonite wife, who worships molech. Molech was said to have been worshiped by having babies pass through the fire or be burned alive. Sites identfied as places where this worship takes place, contain infant skeletal remains. Really sick stuff, Soloman didn't stop it, neither did Rehoboam.
Anyway, Rehoboam makes all nice, looks all shiny gets everyone together to give input. But it was all just a show. He didn't listen to them. Later, when the country splits and the possiblity of civil war becomes very real, God tells Rehoboam not to make war. Instead of thinking of peace, he goes and fortifies cities, preparing for war.
Egypt comes up, takes the strongholds, and takes from the temple treasures. The shields apparently the new king liked because he made bronze ones. But he never took them out, except when he came to the temple to show everyone how great and neat a leader he was with all this stuff.
I feel like I can be like this guy, try to impress, just play christian when it is time but alone my heart seeks detestable things and I don't truely want to be real and follow after God. The message hit real close to him.
