Righteous Lot - Part 2

 Part 2: From Disobedience to Redemption

In this segment, we delve deeper into the transformative journey of Lot, tracing his path from disobedience to redemption. Through the lens of Scripture, we witness the unfolding of God's grace and mercy in Lot's life, ultimately leading him toward redemption.

Lot's Initial Choices

Genesis 13:5-13 recounts the moment when strife arose between the herdsmen of Abram and Lot, prompting Abram to graciously offer Lot the choice of land. Lot, driven by his own desires and ambitions, chose the well-watered plains of the Jordan, which resembled the garden of the Lord, without considering the spiritual implications.

Consequences of Worldly Choices

Lot's decision to dwell near Sodom exposed him and his family to the corrupting influences of the city. Genesis 19 vividly portrays the moral decay of Sodom and Gomorrah, where Lot's righteous soul was tormented by the wickedness he witnessed daily. Despite residing in the midst of depravity, Lot initially failed to fully separate himself from the sinful practices of the city.

Divine Intervention and Mercy

However, even in the midst of Lot's disobedience and compromise, God's mercy and intervention are evident. Genesis 19:1-29 narrates the dramatic rescue of Lot and his family from the impending destruction of Sodom. Despite his lingering attachment to the city, God, out of His great mercy, sent angels to physically rescue Lot and his family, sparing them from the judgment to come.

Lot's Journey to Redemption

Lot's journey to redemption begins with his encounter with the angels and their urgent warning to flee to the mountains. Despite initially hesitating, Lot eventually heeded the divine command and fled with his family. This pivotal moment marks the beginning of Lot's redemption—a journey from darkness to light, from disobedience to repentance.

Witness of Abram's Faith

Throughout Lot's ordeal, the influence of his uncle Abram, a man of unwavering faith, cannot be overlooked. Abram's righteous example and steadfast devotion to God undoubtedly served as a beacon of light to Lot, prompting him to turn from his sinful ways and seek redemption.

Conclusion

Lot's story serves as a powerful reminder of God's faithfulness, mercy, and redeeming grace. Despite our disobedience and compromise, God stands ready to extend His hand of mercy and lead us on the path to redemption. As we reflect on Lot's journey, may we be encouraged to turn from our own disobedience, embrace repentance, and walk in the light of God's truth.

The Second Coming

 

Zechariah 12:9-10

9 And in that day I will set about to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem. 10 “I will pour out on the house of David and on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, the Spirit of grace and of supplication, so that they will look on Me whom they have pierced; and they will mourn for Him, as one mourns for an only son, and they will weep bitterly over Him like the bitter weeping over a firstborn.

• Remember the teaching in Nazerath "Today this has been fulfilled in your hearing"
• They didn't realize Isa 61:1-2 that He came and fullfilled the 1st half of vs 2.

Isa. 61:1-2a

1 The Spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, Because the LORD has anointed me To bring good news to the afflicted; He has sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to captives And freedom to prisoners; 2 To proclaim the favorable year of the LORD

• The second halve of vs. 2: "And the Day of vengence of our God" had to wait this is what the Jews of that day and what we have to look forward today

Zechariah 14

God Will Battle Jerusalem’s Foes

3 Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations, as when He fights on a day of battle. 4 In that day His feet will stand on the Mount of Olives, which is in front of Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives will be split in its middle from east to west by a very large valley, so that half of the mountain will move toward the north and the other half toward the south. 5 You will flee by the valley of My mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel; yes, you will flee just as you fled before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. Then the LORD, my God, will come, and all the holy ones with Him! 6 In that day there will be no light; the luminaries will dwindle. 7 For it will be a unique day which is known to the LORD, neither day nor night, but it will come about that at evening time there will be light. 8 And in that day living waters will flow out of Jerusalem, half of them toward the eastern sea and the other half toward the western sea; it will be in summer as well as in winter.

God Will Be King over All

- 9 And the LORD will be king over all the earth; in that day the LORD will be the only one, and His name the only one.

Brood of Vipers: The Hypocrisy of Prevenient Grace

Introduction: A False Gospel of Prevenient Grace

"I am amazed that you are so quickly deserting Him who called you by the grace of Christ, for a different gospel, which is not just another account; but there are some who are disturbing you and want to distort the gospel of Christ. But even if we, or an angel from heaven, should preach to you a gospel contrary to what we have preached to you, he is to be accursed!" —Galatians 1:6-8

Many professing Christians condemn the act of abortion, and rightly so. Yet these same Christians will fall on their sword for a form of spiritual abortion by embracing the false gospel of prevenient grace, which teaches that all people are brought to some neutral spiritual position, capable of choosing or rejecting God. This teaching distorts the true Gospel and ignores the biblical reality that humanity is spiritually dead (Ephesians 2:1-5) in sin and entirely dependent on God’s sovereign, irresistible grace for salvation.

There is no righteous person, not even one;

There is no one who understands,

There is no one who seeks out God;

They have all turned aside, together they have become corrupt;

There is no one who does good,

There is not even one.” --Romans 3:10-12

This post confronts the hypocrisy of Christians who oppose physical abortion but embrace a theology of spiritual abortion, claiming that a non-believer has the right to choose his eternal destination. This denies the work of the Holy Spirit, and rejects the first response to God's effectual grace—a repentant heart. Instead, it reflects a haughty, puffed-up, and prideful theology that exalts human autonomy over God’s sovereignty.

---

Spiritually Dead: The Reality of Total Depravity

"And you were dead in your offenses and sins, in which you previously walked according to the course of this world." —Ephesians 2:1-2

Scripture is clear: humanity is not merely spiritually sick or neutral; we are dead in our sins. Spiritual death means total inability—we cannot seek God, choose Him, or respond to Him apart from the regenerating work of the Holy Spirit.

Common Grace: Restraining Sin, Not Granting Life

While God’s common grace restrains human depravity and allows moral agency (Romans 2:14-15), it does not grant any form of spiritual life. Common grace enables unbelievers to act morally and recognize some aspects of God's truth, but it does not equip them to choose salvation or have saving faith.

"The kindness of God leads you to repentance." —Romans 2:4

God’s patience and kindness demonstrate His goodness but do not override the reality of spiritual death. Only irresistible grace, by the sovereign work of the Holy Spirit, can bring a sinner to life and lead them to repentance and faith in Christ.

---

The False Gospel of Prevenient Grace

Prevenient grace, as taught in some theological traditions, claims that Christ’s work on the cross gives every human being a neutral starting point, enabling them to choose or reject God. While this may seem compassionate, it is a false gospel for the following reasons:

1. It Denies Total Depravity:
   Prevenient grace assumes that sinners retain some ability to choose God, contradicting Scripture's teaching that we are spiritually dead and incapable of seeking Him (Romans 3:10-12).

2. It Undermines the Sovereignty of God:
   By claiming that salvation ultimately depends on human choice, prevenient grace denies God’s sovereign election and the effectual calling of His chosen people (Romans 8:29-30).

3. It Distorts the Gospel of Grace:
   Salvation is by grace alone, through faith alone, in Christ alone, as a gift of God—not through human effort or decision (Ephesians 2:8-9). Prevenient grace shifts the focus to human ability, subtly introducing works into the Gospel.

---

The Hypocrisy of Spiritual Abortion

"Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you travel around on sea and land to make one proselyte; and when he becomes one, you make him twice as much a son of hell as yourselves." —Matthew 23:15

Many Christians condemn abortion while practicing spiritual abortion through their theology. They preach a false gospel of prevenient grace, which aborts the biblical truth of total depravity and irresistible grace, leaving people in spiritual death. Here’s how this hypocrisy manifests:

1. Preaching a Human-Centered Gospel:
   These Christians act as though salvation depends on human decision rather than God’s sovereign choice, aborting the truth of God’s work in salvation.

2. Rejecting the Holy Spirit’s Power:
   By claiming that prevenient grace makes salvation possible for all, they diminish the regenerating power of the Holy Spirit, who alone can bring the dead to life (John 6:63,65).

3. Upholding Autonomy Over Submission:
   Just as those who justify abortion cry “my body, my choice,” spiritual abortionists insist on “my will, my choice,” rejecting God’s authority in salvation.

---

Irresistible Grace: The True Gospel of Life

"No one can come to Me unless the Father who sent Me draws him; and I will raise him up on the last day." —John 6:44

The true Gospel declares that salvation is entirely the work of God. By His sovereign grace, the Holy Spirit regenerates the spiritually dead, enabling them to respond to the Gospel with faith and repentance. This is irresistible grace—not common or prevenient grace, but the effectual work of God that brings life to the dead and secures eternal salvation.

The Gospel of Life:

1. God Chooses and Calls: Salvation begins with God’s election (Ephesians 1:4-5).
2. The Spirit Regenerates: The Holy Spirit brings spiritual life to the dead (Titus 3:5).
3. Christ Accomplishes Redemption: Jesus’ death and resurrection secure salvation for His people (Hebrews 9:12, Luke 1:68).
4. Repentance: Our response is a broken and contrite heart (Psalms 51).

---

Conclusion: Examine Your Heart 

Paul’s warning in Galatians 1 could not be clearer: “If anyone is preaching to you a gospel contrary to the one you received, let him be accursed” (Galatians 1:9).

The Apostle Paul also commands us to examine ourselves: “Test yourselves to see if you are in the faith; examine yourselves! Or do you not recognize this about yourselves, that Jesus Christ is in you—unless indeed you fail the test?” (2 Corinthians 13:5). Examine your heart to see whether you are clinging to the true Gospel or a distorted one that exalts human pride and autonomy.

Repentance is not a work of man but a gift of God’s grace (2 Timothy 2:25). True repentance, as expressed in Psalm 51, acknowledges God’s holiness and our sinfulness, crying out, “Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a steadfast spirit within me” (Psalm 51:10). This is the response to God’s effectual grace—a broken and contrite heart that submits fully to His sovereign will.

Gold Rush - The search for fine gold

Gold Rush: The Search for Fine Gold

Read: 1 Corinthians 3:1–22

Yes, I finally get to talk about one of my favorite Petra songs, "Fool’s Gold." I didn’t think it would come up because the context of this scripture is talking about heavenly treasure. But then I saw it: verse 18—"If anyone among you thinks that he is wise in this age, he must become foolish, so that he may become wise."

Before quoting the song (even though it’s stuck in my head now), let’s address the real reason for this devotion: fine gold.

Have you seen the TV show Gold Rush on Discovery? It showcases miners using various methods to extract gold from the earth. They design their machines to catch as much fine gold as possible, and along the way, they find small nuggets. At the end, they weigh the gold, and most of it is fine particles. Occasionally, they find nuggets, but it’s rare.

This process parallels our spiritual lives. We labor tirelessly, planting seeds and watering them, often not knowing what kind of harvest we will see. As Paul reminds us in 1 Corinthians 3:6–7, "I planted, Apollos watered, but God was causing the growth. So then, neither the one who plants nor the one who waters is anything, but God who causes the growth."

---

The “Pay Dirt” of Ministry

During our ministry, God has given us countless opportunities to interact with others. In March 2023, we encountered a family stranded in an airport. Right there in the terminal, we prayed for them. Imagine the crowd around us, one person even commented, “How cool it is to see you pray for them.”

Other encounters followed: a single mom who lost a job, a man in pain after visiting the doctor, and many others. Each moment felt small in the grand scheme, but these are our fine gold moments.

This reminds me of Jesus’ words in John 4:35–36: "Do you not say, ‘There are still four months, and then comes the harvest’? Behold, I tell you, raise your eyes and observe the fields, that they are white for harvest. The one who reaps is receiving wages and is gathering fruit for eternal life, so that the one who sows and the one who reaps may rejoice together."

---

Becoming “Fools” for Christ

Returning to 1 Corinthians 3:18, Paul calls us to reject worldly wisdom for godly wisdom, even if it makes us appear foolish. As Petra’s song "Fool’s Gold" reminds us, "Some may call me foolish, some may call me odd, but I’d rather be a fool in the eyes of man than a fool in the eyes of God."

We live in a world that values temporary success over eternal treasure. But Jesus warns us in Matthew 6:19–21, "Do not store up for yourselves treasures on earth, where moth and rust destroy, and where thieves break in and steal. But store up for yourselves treasures in heaven, where neither moth nor rust destroys, and where thieves do not break in or steal; for where your treasure is, there your heart will be also."

---

Building with Fireproof Materials

Paul also challenges us in 1 Corinthians 3:12–15: "Now if anyone builds on the foundation with gold, silver, precious stones, wood, hay, or straw, each one’s work will become evident; for the day will show it because it is to be revealed with fire, and the fire itself will test the quality of each one’s work. If anyone’s work which he has built on it remains, he will receive a reward; if anyone’s work is burned up, he will suffer loss; but he himself will be saved, yet only so as through fire."

This fire represents God’s judgment at the Bema Seat. Here, believers’ works will be tested—not for salvation, but for reward. As Paul describes in 2 Corinthians 5:10, "For we must all appear before the judgment seat of Christ, so that each one may receive compensation for his deeds done through the body, in accordance with what he has done, whether good or bad."

The fine gold we find through our faithful labor will endure through this test.

---

Sowing, Watering, and Harvesting

Our calling is to be sowers, waterers, and reapers. As Paul writes in Galatians 6:9, "Let’s not become discouraged in doing good, for in due time we will reap, if we do not become weary."

Like the miners on Gold Rush, we sift through tons of dirt for tiny ounces of gold. Every prayer, conversation, and act of love may seem small, but in God’s economy, these moments are eternal treasures.

---

Closing Thoughts

The world offers plenty of “fool’s gold”—shiny distractions that promise fulfillment but lead to emptiness. As believers, our goal is to sift through the dirt of life, finding the fine gold of eternal significance.

Let’s labor faithfully, keeping our eyes on the true treasure. As Jesus reminds us in Matthew 9:37–38, "The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few. Therefore, plead with the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest."

So, let us dig deep, sift carefully, and rejoice in every glimmer of fine gold that God brings our way.

He who sits in the heavens laughs

Read: Psalms 2, Acts 4:24-31
Extra Credit: Psalm 119

God's Chosen People

Psalms 2:1-3

1 Why are the nations in an uproar And the peoples devising a vain thing?

2 The kings of the earth take their stand And the rulers take counsel together Against the LORD and against His Anointed, saying,

3 "Let us tear their fetters apart And cast away their cords from us!"

4 He who sits in the heavens laughs, The Lord scoffs at them.

Ripped from the headlines: "Arabs are laughing at the Iran attack"

Psalms 2 context is speaking of time surrounding the Tribulation and the end of it when Christ sets up His Kingdom on earth, but in the Acts verses the church is praying about the persecution they were just a part of and praising God for that persecution.  It is a sign that God was actively involved with His elect. Do you see that He is actively involved with Israel today?

Luke 21:29-32

29 Then He told them a parable: "Behold the fig tree and all the trees;

30 as soon as they put forth leaves, you see it and know for yourselves that summer is now near.

31 "So you also, when you see these things happening, recognize that the kingdom of God is near.

32 "Truly I say to you, this generation will not pass away until all things take place.

33 "Heaven and earth will pass away, but My words will not pass away.

In this passage Jesus is talking about the nation of Israel, and as you know Israel as a nation has been scattered since A.D. 70 until 1948.  Many people believe that the "generation" speaks of roughly 70 yrs but that is not really the case, it actually speaks of this generation meaning once this regathering has taken place and the signs that proceeded that (read Luke 21 for context) they will not be re-scattered again. And do you know that since October 2023 (first attack against Israel) there has been a immigration movement of Jews back to Israel.

Speak the Word of God with Boldness

Acts 4:31

31 And when they had prayed, the place where they had gathered together was shaken, and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak the word of God with boldness.

Application

The Acts Church was praying about the persecution they were encountering, this persecution of Christians has gone on since that "day of Pentecost" till now, we are seeing persecution spilling into Israel now, and just as God has promised in His word, it will not pass away.  So too this generation of Israel will not either.

Now is the time to read God's Word, apply it to your life, speak it boldly.  The time is short, we could be mere hours away from His return for the bride, that's you my christian brothers and sisters! God is waiting for the "Fullness of the Gentiles come in"  If you are speaking the Word boldly you could be speaking to the last one that believes, and up we go! Praise God!

1 Thessalonians 4:16-19

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of the archangel and with the trumpet of God, and the dead in Christ will rise first.

17 Then we who are alive and remain will be caught up together with them in the clouds to meet the Lord in the air, and so we shall always be with the Lord.

18 Therefore comfort one another with these words.

Prayer

Heavenly Father, we recognize the time is short, we pray for your people Israel that you keep them, protect them.  We look forward to your kingdom to be here on earth.  Help us to speak boldly your Word today, so that we may usher in the last believing saint and take us home.  We long to be in your presence and worship you for all eternity.  Thank you for forgiving us our trespasses, and protect us from the evil one. In Jesus name, Amen

 

What we have seen and heard

Read Acts 4, Luke 24:44-49

Acts 4:20

"for we cannot stop speaking about what we have seen and heard."

In this passage, Peter declares that they cannot cease speaking about what they have seen and heard—not because they are not willing to be silent, or are trying to be in disobedience to the priests, but because God commanded them to testify to what they have experienced. This command to testify echoes throughout the New Testament, where believers are also commanded to share their faith boldly.

Peter's statement recalls another section in Luke's gospel, specifically Luke 24:44-49. Here, Jesus opens the disciples' minds to understand the Scriptures and commissions them to be witnesses of His suffering, death, and resurrection, as well as bearers of the message of repentance and forgiveness.

Luke 24:44-49

44 Now He said to them, "These are My words which I spoke to you while I was still with you, that all things which are written about Me in the Law of Moses and the Prophets and the Psalms must be fulfilled."

45 Then He opened their minds to understand the Scriptures,

46 and He said to them, "Thus it is written, that the Christ would suffer and rise again from the dead the third day,

47 and that repentance for forgiveness of sins would be proclaimed in His name to all the nations, beginning from Jerusalem.

48 "You are witnesses of these things.

49 "And behold, I am sending forth the promise of My Father upon you; but you are to stay in the city until you are clothed with power from on high."

Then He opened their minds to the Scriptures, and not many days later they were "clothed with power from on high" - Acts 4:8.  We too are filled with this same spirit, which is perfectly righteous and with power inside each Christian who believes in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.  We can proclaim that good news to everyone we come in contact with.

Witness - what we have seen and heard

Consider this question: regarding the person Jesus of Nazareth—the Messiah, the Lamb of God, our Redeemer, your personal Lord and Savior—what are you witnesses of?

Imagine yourself in a courtroom, called to testify about your belief in Jesus as your Redeemer and Lord. What personal experiences can you testify to regarding Him? (The way things are going this may not be too far off - see my next blog post)

Ask yourself, "What am I a witness of?" What recent encounters have you had with God? Take some time to reflect on how God has revealed Himself to you lately—whether it be in the past year, six months, or even this month.

Begin with Prayer

• Ask God to reveal Himself to you today
• Ask Him for opportunities to share your faith
• Ask Him for discernment to reveal the schemes of Satan

Action items

• Write down what He has revealed to you today
• Praise Him for it, share it with others
• And always, get into His Word so He can speak to you, and train you up to discern good and evil (Heb 5:32)

Final Note

If you find yourself struggling with whether God is using you or if you are a Christian... 

Well then... 

You are.

 Trust God, if you have those types of questions then you are, you can take that to the bank, literally take it to the bank or the store or your neighbor.  Boldly declare I am a Christian, a child of God.  Do you want to know who He is?

2 Corinthians 10:7

7 You are looking at things as they are outwardly. If anyone is confident in himself that he is Christ's, let him consider this again within himself, that just as he is Christ's, so also are we.

Consider the words of the hymn "I Know Whom I Have Believed":

"I know not why God's wondrous grace

To me He hath made known,

Nor why, unworthy, Christ in love

Redeemed me for His own.

But "I know whom I have believed

And am persuaded that He is able

To keep that which I've committed

Unto Him against that day."

• Nan and I - 
• Physical healing for both of us, we seem to be sore and stiff all the time. 
• Nan has problems with her knee

April 2024

• We met a guy by the name of Barry in Parker AZ.  He was having problems walking and had pain.  He had just seen his doctor and his pain was worse than before he saw him.  Clearly God was going to do a miracle.  We prayed for his healing and pain, I told him at the beginning "Jesus loves you" I normally don't do that, but it just came out.  We continued to talk and I continued to pray out loud for healing, and said we will continue to pray for him.  I asked if there was anything we can do.  He said he was waiting for his ride to come out of walmart, I sensed right away that there were 2 others riding with him.  We left and about a mile out of town I felt an urge to pray for him again.  This time, it was more bold asking that God provides a miracle of healing at that point, and that he would immediately glorify God, and that the 2 riders would come to know Jesus through his testimony.  All of them coming to Christ at that moment.  I feel rest assured that, that miracle of healing and waking from the dead occurred at that moment.  Air1 was on and the DJ was talking about prayer and wouldn't it be great if we just prayed for the Crazy to take place, for God to do something impossible right now.  Raising from the dead is probably up there at the top of the list.
• Also prayer for us as we make our journey up to Mountain Home Idaho.  It seems God is calling us to start an end times discussion using VBVMI.  I will get more confirmation for it as it gets closer.
• Casey Charlie and Chris - Our new grandson was born on Monday April 22 2024.

• Barry and Kay, they are my neighbors here in Mountain Home RV park.  They had issues coming here, they had a tire blow out in Nevada and had problems with a leveler.  
• Jackie Madden - Went to be with the Lord May 7th 2024.  Praying for Jan and Travis Madden, Jackie's sister and Travis Jackie's only living son.
• Corey christian sister, who works on Sundays and has to care for parents at night.  Unable to attend church here since all churches don't seem to intrude on our earthly schedule and only wants to have a service on Sunday mornings.
