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

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
