Sodom and Gommorrah (Part 1)

Hello everyone! Today is Friday and we are talking about Sodom and Gomorrah.

I want you to read Genesis Chapter 18 and 19. These two chapters both talk about what Sodom and Gomorrah was and why it had to be destroyed. A little background; Lot was moving about with Abraham but they fought and Lot left to Sodom and Gomorrah. Now two chapters is a lot for some of you and so what I'm going to do is hold my questions until after school so you have to read them. Until then I want you to think about how this relates to you life. Now I'm not saying you commit the same sin as Sodom and Gomorra but think about it, if you went to a city where everyone sinned, would you eventually do the same?

Whenever I read this story the part in chapter 18 when Abraham is talking with God and he says:
(24) "Suppose you find fifty righteous people living there in the city- will you sweep it away and not spare it for their sake?" And then he keeps counting down all the way to verse 32! I just think that this shows how patient God is!

Chapter 19 is really weird! I mean first of all the guys in Sodom and Gomorrah wanted to sleep with the Angles so that is pretty weird! Then Lot's daughter were like: "oh we can't get married so lets just get our father drunk and have a kid with him." That is so AWKWARD!!!! Why would someone even think of that!!!???

Those were some really disturbing chapters. It shows how much God hates those paticular sins though. We really need to pray and do our best to help anyone like these people becaues they need God.

It's amazing what people are capable of doing when put in certain situations. Never assume you can't fall into sin. Saying that only invites satan to tempt...
