Drawn to What Destroys

Jun 8, 2025    Pastor Philip Spellman

In this powerful message, we're challenged to examine our hearts and tongues, focusing on the dangers of complaining and self-indulgence. The story of Lot and Sodom serves as a stark reminder of how easily we can be drawn towards destructive behaviors. We're shown how Lot's gradual descent – from pitching his tent towards Sodom to eventually sitting at its gates – mirrors our own potential for spiritual drift. The key lesson here is that what we entertain will eventually affect and educate us. Are we, like Lot, exchanging covenant company for cultural comfort? This message urges us to be vigilant about what we allow into our lives and to choose allegiance to God over appetite for worldly indulgences. It's a call to examine where we're pitching our tents and to ensure we're not being slowly pulled away from God's best for us.
