2. When Sodom Lived In Lot’s Family Genesis 19

3. Respect For Parents Declined Genesis 19:14 Parents are authority in home (Prov. 6:20; Eph. 6:1-2; Col. 3:20) God warns about disrespect (Lev. 20:9; Prov. 30:17; Matt. 15:4) There are dangers in disrespect which parents must recognize.

4. Lot Hesitated. We must come out of the world. (Rev. 18:4; 2 Cor. 6:14) We must even give up our family (Luke 14:26). Flee the evils of world (1 Cor. 6:18; 10:15; 1 Tim. 6:10-11; 2 Tim. 2:22) Too many are reluctant (1 Thess. 5:21-22; Job 31:1) A Reluctance To Flee Genesis 19:15-16

5. Even though told he would be safe (Matt. 10:28). Romans 8:15 Leaving the world takes courage. What we leave can’t compare with what is gained! (Matt. 19:29; Phil. 4:7; Heb. 13:5-6) Fear reigned in the place of Faith Genesis 19:17-22

6. Do not look behind you… (v.17) Too many look back with longing (2 Pet. 2:22; Heb. 10:38) “Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32) “No one, after putting his hand to the plow and looking back, is fit for the kingdom of God” (Luke 9:62) Love for Sodom was not easily removed Genesis 19:23-26

7. Sin has its consequences (Prov. 6:27-28; Gal. 6:7; 1 Cor. 15:33) Do we see signs of Sodom in us or in our family? Immorality had taken root Genesis 19:30-38
