Compromise According to God | Genesis 19:1-16
This week we will explore Genesis 19:1-16, Compromise According to God.
Lot's story is tragic.
He began well. He was blessed. He was loved. He was joined to Abraham in family and friendship. He was enjoying the goodness of God.
But the world's lure was too strong.
His eyes were attracted to the wealth, popularity, and carefree lifestyle of Sodom.
Slowly, step by step, he moved closer and closer to its worldview, its values, and its temptations.
Soon he and his family were fully engulfed in the city life of Sodom.
When two angels arrive to announce God's judgment on the city, Lot is caught in the middle. He is literally torn between the lusts of Sodom and the life of his family. He freezes. He falters. He fails.
He loses it all.
This week we will explore the first half of Genesis 19. We will look at Lot's slow conformity to the world, his futility in trying to protect his family, and the depravity and sexual immorality of the city around him.
May God open our eyes to His truth so that we will not be conformed to the world but transformed by the renewing of our minds!
