"The Dangers Of Divided Loyalties"

Gen.19:17,26,

Genesis 19:17 KJV 1900

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

Genesis 19:26 KJV 1900

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

Luke 17:32,

Luke 17:32 GW

Remember Lot’s wife!

1. Disobedient to the command…looking back…no Faith!

Rebelled… 1 Sam.15:22-23, to obey is better than sacrifice…For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft...

Unbelief & Procrastination

…just like Demas (he loved the world)!

Whats in your heart?

Luke 17:26-33,

Luke 17:26–33 GW

“When the Son of Man comes again, the situation will be like the time of Noah. People were eating, drinking, and getting married until the day that Noah went into the ship. Then the flood destroyed all of them. “The situation will also be like the time of Lot. People were eating, drinking, buying and selling, planting and building. But on the day that Lot left Sodom, fire and sulfur rained from the sky and destroyed all of them. The day when the Son of Man is revealed will be like that. “On that day those who are on the roof shouldn’t come down to get their belongings out of their houses. Those who are in the field shouldn’t turn back. Remember Lot’s wife! Those who try to save their lives will lose them, and those who lose their lives will save them.

2. Attachments of the heart

Leave everything for the sake of the call.

Rom.12:2,

Romans 12:2 KJV 1900

And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Song: Your body’s here w/me, but your mind is on the other side of town.

Matt.6:19-21,

3. Fatal Faith…didn’t believe!

What’s holding you back?

Lot’s wife was afforded every opportunity to live & not die.

Connected to someone who knew God

Angels in her home…took hold of her personally.

Wasted grace…to have everything & still be lost.

Do we really believe & trust God w/out looking over our shoulders?

*The children of Egypt came out but Egypt was still in them.

*Remember Lot’s Wife...

Warn the ppl of what’s to come, because Hell is real!

Mark 9:43-44,

Mark 9:43–44 GW

“So if your hand causes you to lose your faith, cut it off! It is better for you to enter life disabled than to have two hands and go to hell, to the fire that cannot be put out.
