How to Live Under Judgment, Pt. 2: Lot

Dearly beloved congregation of our Lord Jesus Christ, this evening we continue our series on "how to live under judgment." We saw last time that Noah lived in a time when God's judgment fell on the cosmos, but flourished in his time by faithfully preaching and practicing righteousness. Tonight we're going to look at the example of Lot, who was also a righteous man living in a time and place where God's judgment fell spectacularly. How did Lot do it? What does his example show us about living in our time? Obviously, we're not going to say "Do everything Lot did." It's obvious that a lot of what Lot did was awful. But we can learn from him, looking at both the positive and the negative, because our God hasn't changed. Though circumstances might be different now, God is the same and His commands are the same. He punishes and destroys the ungodly, but He saves His own, even when they're being stupid.
