Consider Lot...

I preached this past Sunday morning on Lot and his choice to trade Canaan for Sodom. He had considered the path long before ever being presented with the opportunity to choose. This premeditation was demonstrated by the simple declaration that he pitched his tent "toward Sodom." Before long he found himself sitting in the gate and holding a position within the community. Sin will take us farther than we want to go, keep us longer than we want to stay, and cost us more than we are willing to pay. Lot lost everything by being drawn by the well watered plains. Choices matter.
