Sermon by Missionary Samaroo Sookraj |
Text: Genesis: 13: 5-12 Sub: Leaning towards Sodom. Intro: 1)When does a Christian begin to backslide? When does the fervor for Christ begin to slip? When does the power begin to dissipate? When does it happen? 2) Lot: a good example. He pitched his tent towards Sodom.This began Lot's decline. i) One day he woke up on the side of a mountain from a drunken stupor. Each of his daughters carried his child. His wife was a pillar of salt in the valley below. All of his earthly goods, his home, his wealth, his flocks, his prestige lay buried in the ashes of fire and brimstone. And it all started on the day when he pitched his tent toward Sodom. He had had it all! 3) How does this apply to us? 1.When we go to church for spiritual things but go to the world for entertainment. 11. We Pitch Our Tent Toward Sodom - When we go to church for spiritual advice but go to the world for other advice. 111.
