I believe I can prove with my Bible
that Sodom was too far gone for revival.
That's a serious issue, friends.
When a nation is too far gone for
revival, I believe Sodom had become so wicked
it was too far gone for revival, and
all that remained was for God to destroy
it.
The question before us today, is our country
too far gone for revival?
What do you think, friends?
Is there any hope for America?
Or is she, like Sodom, too far gone
for revival?
I'm going to give you the marks of
a nation that is too far gone for
revival.
This can apply to England, or America, or
anywhere else for that matter.
I will list these marks one by one.
First, the Sodomites were a very wicked people,
bent on fulfilling their lusts above all else.
It was a country full of rape.
In Genesis 18.20 we read, And the
Lord said, Because the cry of Sodom and
Gomorrah is great, and because their sin is
very grievous.
The grievous sin was the sin of sodomy,
and the cry that went up to God
from Sodom was the cry of rape, men
raping men.
The men of Sodom gathered around the house
a lot, with one purpose only, and that
was to rape two visitors inside.
And they called unto Lot and said unto
him, Where are the men which came in
to thee this night?
Bring them out unto us, so we may
know them.
I repeat, Sodom was full of sexual perversion
and wickedness to such a degree.
Their perverse behavior was accepted as normal.
Is this not the agenda of the homosexual
movement today?
To bring normalcy to it, the nations have
fallen like dominoes with the gay and lesbian
agenda to have it embraced and accepted in
every level of society, from the courts to
the corporations to the classroom to the local
governments.
I believe America is a forerunner on legalizing
and promoting homosexual behavior.
Secondly, there was no church in Sodom.
Lot had failed miserably to affect any witness
there for God and His righteousness.
Lot had been such a failure as a
witness for God that when he tried to
warn his sons-in-law to flee the
city before it was destroyed, they looked at
him as one who mocked and grabbed their
bellies and just laughed and laughed.
There was no church in Sodom.
I'll leave it to you to decide if
there is a church still in America, or
a church in your country, that preaches the
full counsel of God, warning men of their
duty of repentance and preaching the terribleness of
damnation and hell for punishment of sin.
I'll let you decide on that one.
Thirdly, the men of Sodom were incorrigible.
That means they were so bad they were
beyond correction or reform.
I can prove this by Genesis 19.11,
where they were struck with blindness by the
angels inside the house of Lot.
We read, And they smote the men that
were at the door of the house with
blindness, both small and great, so that they
wearied themselves to find the door.
Did it reform these wicked Sodomites and bring
them to repentance?
No.
They continued to grope for the door as
they burned in their lusts, even in their
blindness.
Is there any hope for a wicked, hell
-bent society today, or are they too far
gone for correction, reformation, and repentance?
The wicked Ninevites repented at the preaching of
Jonah.
But if there was a Jonah in the
midst of your nation, would they heed the
warnings and repent in sackcloth and ashes, or
are they too far gone, like Sodom was?
I'll leave it up to you to decide.
