We are excited to bring a message to you by evangelist Scott Pauley titled “Lessons From Lot.” As Dr. Pauley relays the account of Lot’s life, he highlights the costly and unalterable decisions Lot made. These errant choices led his family down a perilous path. In contrast, Dr. Pauley points out how the compelling life of Lot’s uncle, Abraham, was the direct opposite in the decisions he made to serve the Lord.

The account of Lot and his wife is a sobering reminder of what happens when someone allows the world to capture his heart. The tragedy of Sodom was not only its wickedness but also that Lot and his family living there had so little influence on the city’s inhabitants. Instead of building an altar to God, Lot focused on building a life for himself. He sought logical and convenient solutions instead of spiritual ones. He ignored Godly counsel, distanced himself from spiritual influences, and made decisions based on what he could see rather than what God had promised. 

So too, like Lot, our eyes can often lead us astray. However, faith anchors us in the truth that God’s ways are always upright, even when the choice is not the easiest path. May we, like Abraham, choose to live by faith and teach God’s truth to future generations. We can trust Him with every decision!
