Lot: The Worldly Christian

Top Highlights

“Sacrifice. Lot’s offer to sacrifice his daughters to the homosexuals shows the backward, upside-down attitude he had about sacrifice that comes to those who walk contrary to God’s way—which the worldly Christian does.” (Page 94)

“But there is fault in such reasoning. The fault is that the compromise is viewed in this situation as necessary to bring about Lot’s salvation. But such a conclusion severely limits God and is an insult to God.” (Page 15)

“There were two causes that mandated Lot’s departure from Abraham. These two causes were substance and strife. The profuseness of substance was the primary cause. The presence of strife was the secondary cause.” (Page 28)

“Had Abraham not compromised in the matter of associations, Lot would have been left in Ur.” (Page 14)

“Worldliness does not breed genuineness in character. Worldliness is shifty, crafty, and filled with ulterior motives. Demonstrations of charity by the worldly are seldom sincere but are simply made for show. In church, a worldly Christian is an actor. His talk of love for the church, for the Lord, and for the Word is just talk to impress. It is not genuine as will be seen when such things as church services conflict with his carnal plans and interests.” (Page 78)
