LOT'S FIVE STEPS TO RUIN

TOPIC: LOT'S FIVE STEPS TO RUIN
TEXT: GEN.13:5-13

Student fail for a number of reasons,but one thing is common to all cases. Failure does not happen instantaneously; it is always the end of a process. This is true of failure in a Christian life as well. The story of Lot in Genesis is a sad case of a believer who failed.
He was mentioned three times in 2Pet.2:6-8 as a righteous man but righteous Lot failed to use his life for God. As growing Christian let's make every effort to avoid these five steps down the road to ruin.
1. Wrong perspective of the world
    Gen.13:10-15; 1Jhn.2:16-17; 2 Pet.3:10-13.
2. Flirting with the world
    Gen.13:12-13; Gen.13:18
3. Involved in the world
    Gen.14:12; Jhn.17:13-18
4. Ensnared by the world
    Gen.19:1,8,14,15-24
5. Destroyed by the world
    Gen.19:30-38; Ps.83:1-8
    A warning
    Lot failure, which began with a step, had a disastrous effects on himself, his family and finally all Israel. The  story of Lot is clear and solemn warning to every Christian. Don't take the step down the road to ruin.
