I have a message that I give periodically,
and the title of it is, Sightseeing in
Sodom.
And I attempt to look at Sodom through
the eyes of Lot himself.
And he sure had a wrong view of
it.
And Mrs. Lot, she fell in love with
it.
And then the view of Abraham.
You can sightsee in Sodom with Abraham.
He lost nothing down there.
Or you can go through Sodom with the
Lord and see it as he sees it.
And it's too bad that the church is
not looking at the sin of sodomy.
I don't think it's any greater today than
it's been in the past.
But there is today a tremendous percentage of
our population that are homosexuals engage in perversion.
And today we speak of it in a
more candid manner than we ever did.
In fact, what I'm saying right now, ten
years ago I might not have said on
the radio, but this is something today that's
right in our midst.
Now, what's to be the attitude of the
Christian toward it?
Well, even Lot in his day, he said,
you're doing wickedly.
And God judged it.
Isn't that enough for the child of God
to know you can't compromise with this type
of thing?
This is a sin.
And to indulge in it, and then to
say, well, this is a sickness.
The same thing is said about the alcoholic.
Sure, he's sick.
Of course, he's sick.
But what made him take that first drink
and continue to drink until he became sick?
Sin did it, friends.
Sin is the problem.
And this is a sin.
It's so labeled in the first chapter of
Romans.
God says, he gave them up.
So Genesis 19 is a pretty important chapter
for this present generation that we are living
in today.
And we need to recognize that.
