And he defiled Topheth, which is in the Valley of the Son of Hinnom, that no one might burn his son or his daughter as an offering to Molech. (2 Kings 23:10 ESV)
In the middle of all the things Josiah did to bring renewal to Israel - tearing down all the altars to idols, is this note that he ended the child sacrifice, the killing of innocent infants. Among all the other proper responses to the attack on life in our culture, may we pray the God will raise up young people with a passion for the sanctity of human life, who will do better than we have done to stand up for it.
