Sodom • Not even 10 righteous could be found there • Genesis 18:32 Then he said, “Let not the Lord be angry, and I will speak but once more: Suppose ten should be found there?” And He said, “I will not destroy it for the sake of ten.” • Synonymous with great sin • Ezekiel 16:44-50, Isaiah 3:8-9, Jeremiah 23:14

  3. Lot’s mistake • Did he not know of their wickedness? • He was a wealthy man, likely with extensive business dealings in the area. • Did Anticipation of gain blind his mind? • Mark 4:18-19, 2 Corinthians 4:3-4

  4. Lot’s mistake • Things not sinful • Prosperity – Psalm 49:6-9; 1 timothy 6:6-12, 17-19 • Planning for the future – Proverbs 27:23 • Actions taken to increase wealth – proverbs 10:4 • Lot didn’t consider the impact of the environment.
