6. And turning the cities of Sodom and Gomorrah
into ashes, condemned them to destruction,
making them an example to those who afterward
would live ungodly; 7 and delivered righteous Lot,
who was oppressed
by the filthy conduct of the wicked
8 (for that righteous man, dwelling
among them, tormented his
righteous soul from day to
day by seeing and
hearing their
lawless deeds)
– II Peter 2:6-8.
 WHY was Lot in such a predicament?
 WHY was Lot only able to save “3” of his
family when he was a righteous man?
 WHY did Lot’s children turn
out the way they did?
 WHY did Lot’s son-in-laws
not take him very
seriously?
 WHY did Lot
lose his wife?
Lot was Greedy, Genesis 13:8-11.
 Lot’s choice showed a degree of GREED.
 Lot didn’t THINK about …
– How it would affect his family.
– Kind of environment it would place them in.
– Whether or not they, as a family, could serve
God acceptably there.
– Whether or not he could properly educate his
children there.
– What other people would think of him there.
 Today, many Christians are making the same
kind of MISTAKES. (See Galatians 6:7-8).

Lot chose to live in the city of
Sodom, Genesis 13:12-13;14:12.
 The Cities of Sodom and Gomorrah are held
as examples of WICKEDNESS…
– “ the men of Sodom were exceedingly wicked
and sinful against the LORD.” (Genesis 13:13).
– “ Because the outcry against Sodom and
Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is very
grave,” (Genesis 18:20).
– “…I will speak but once more: Suppose ten
should be found there?" And He said, "I will not
destroy it for the sake of ten.“ (Genesis 18:32).
– Sodom and Gomorrah are examples of God’s
wrath upon the ungodly, (II Peter 2:6; Jude 7).
 Don’t EVER under estimate the influence of
evil. (see I Corinthians 5:6; 15:33).

Sodom, Genesis 13:12-13;14:12.
Lot failed in raising his children,
Genesis 19:14, 16; 30-36.
 Lot’s choice to go toward Sodom had
devastating consequences upon his most
precious resource! His family!
– Though Lot is described as “…oppressed by the
filthy conduct of the wicked.” II Peter 2:7-8.
What of his children? What was their view?
– Only “3” of Lot’s family escaped, the rest were
LOST in the destruction of Sodom.
– Lot had two of his daughters who allured him to
committed SIN!
 If YOU won’t raise them, SOMEBODY will!
The devil will be more than glad to help,
(See I Peter 5:8; I John 2:15-16).

wife,
 Her HEART may have always been there.
 Could it be that part of the reason Lot
moved to Sodom was, BECAUSE OF HER.

– Jesus used her as an example of consequences,
“Remember Lot’s wife” (Luke 17:32).
– She died in rebellion to God!
 Marry a BELIEVER, one who will help you
in your service to God, (See Proverbs, 31:10;
Ephesians 5:28-29)!
