Genesis 19:1-11

Oct 12, 2025    Bruce Gordon

In this powerful exploration of Genesis 19, we're confronted with the stark contrast between two lives: Abraham's spiritual journey and Lot's worldly compromise. The destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah serves as a sobering reminder of God's judgment against sin, particularly the depravity that consumed these cities. As we reflect on Lot's choices, we're challenged to examine our own lives. Are we, like Lot, compromising with the world and its values? Or are we, like Abraham, setting our sights on the eternal city God has prepared? This message urges us to consider the consequences of our decisions, reminding us that what appears successful in the world's eyes may lead to spiritual ruin. We're called to live as 'separate people,' resisting the temptation to conform to societal norms that contradict God's Word. This timely warning encourages us to cultivate a healthy fear of God and to prioritize our spiritual growth over worldly gain.
