Sarah laughed at the thought of having a child at her advanced age. God responded with
"Is anything too hard for the Lord?"
Isn't this a verse we should claim on a daily basis? Indeed, IS anything too hard for the Lord?
When Abraham interacted with the three men, he spoke of the… “Judge of all the earth…” Who is the Judge of all the earth? And how did Abraham know that? We know from John 5:22 that Jesus is the judge of all the earth, so that must mean that one of the three men was indeed the Son of God.
Why did Abraham bargain with the Lord for ten people? He started bargaining for 50 righteous people. Did he think that Lot had some influence on the sinful people there? He must have thought that surely Lot could have influenced that many people. How is it with us as Christians? Do we have influence over at least 50 people?
Notice that the angels had to practically drag Lot and his family from Sodom. They didn't seem to want to leave.
Why did Lot’s wife look back? What exactly is a “pillar of salt”? Was this city Lot's wife's hometown? Did she look longingly back at the life she had there? This city was definitely "sin city".
Before we become Christians we are dead in our sins. We are citizens of "Sin City". Once we become believers in Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior we are then citizens of "The Kingdom of Heaven". Shouldn't we live then as if we are citizens of the Kingdom? We should never look back at the life we had in "Sin City".
(Email us for the writing - "Kingdom Living in a Foreign Land".)
Concerning Lot's two daughters getting their father drunk - were they so desensitized to the sexual perversion in Sodom that they saw nothing wrong with having sexual relations with their father?
Now concerning Lot, "And they made their father drink wine that night: and the first-born went in, and lay with her father; and he knew not when she lay down, nor when she arose". The same thing happened with the second daughter.
This scripture does not say that Lot was unaware of the actual act of intercourse, only that he was unaware when his daughters lay down nor when they got up. It says nothing about the act itself. So was Lot aware of that? If so, had he become desensitized to the sexual perversion of Sodom as well?
How is it with us as Christians? Have we become desensitized to any and all sexual perversion?
