It might take a lot to shock people in our modern world. From ever more graphic horror films to YouTube videos of ISIS terrorists beheading and torturing Christians, our world has seen some pretty grisly things. Not to be outdone, the ancient world also had its atrocities, and the prophet Jeremiah was called upon to speak out against one particularly repugnant religious ritual that some thought was a most pious and devout practice. Watch as Pastor MacLaren shows how such things continue in our modern world, and points us to the gospel of Jesus and the dramatic contrast produced by the Christian faith. This sermon was given on October 25, 2015, at First Presbyterian Church in Perkasie, PA (www.firstchurchopc.org). First Church is a member of the Orthodox Presbyterian Church. The Rev. R. Scott MacLaren is the pastor.
