This morning part of my Bible reading included Genesis 19.
I find this chapter very difficult to read… It certainly is not uplifting!
The Lord mercifully sends heavenly emissaries to Lot (I believe, in response to Abraham’s intercession – Genesis 18:22-33).
It is clear that “SPIRITUAL DRIFT” had set into Lot’s life and family. He, and his family, had enculturated to Sodom more than they recognized or even wanted to admit… and it showed!!! Sodom had influenced Lot’s family and it is only a merciful act of God that Lot and his family were spared the judgment on Sodom and Gomorrah!
Genesis 19 is a sad, sad chapter in the Bible and a warning to all of us who live in a wicked time and sinful culture! BEWARE OF “SPIRITUAL DRIFT” and inappropriate accommodation with cultural values that reject righteous living.
