“You know Lot. He’s the guy that didn’t have the decency to leave the best land to his uncle Abraham (to whom it belonged in the first place).”<\/p>\n

“And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked”<\/font><\/b> (2 Peter 2:7).<\/p>\n Oh.<\/p>\n I wonder how many other people — people around me — I have misjudged.<\/p>\n Furthermore, would God give a similar testimony of me?<\/p>\n Just how just am I, and vexed (worn down, troubled, distressed) by the ungodliness and immorality around me?<\/p>\n Not to the same degree as “that Lot”!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" We tend to view Lot in a poor light.
