SERMON NOTES:
- Genesis 19:1-29
- Compromised Christianity
- 2 Peter 2:4-10
- Luke 17:32-33
- Lot = worldly, half-hearted Christianity
- Revelation 3:15-16
- “There is a great gulf between the Christianity that wrestles with whether to worship at the cost of imprisonment and death, and the Christianity that wrestles with whether the kids should play soccer on Sunday morning.” John Piper
- Compromised Christianity is typically arrived at over a process.
- Lot’s process:
- Looking at Sodom (Genesis 13:10)
- Pitched his tent near Sodom (Genesis 13:12)
- Lived in Sodom (Genesis 14:12)
- Sat at city gate, civic leadership (Genesis 19:1-2)
- Psalm 1:1-6
- Compromised Christianity wants to benefit from ungodly Sodom.
- 1 Corinthians 9:22-23
- There is a difference between taking the gospel to a wicked place and entering into the wicked aspects of its life.
- Compromised Christianity is deceived into thinking the world is its your friend.
- Genesis 19:4-7
- When in Sodom, you think you’re friends with the world without realizing it has no intent to be friends with you.
- 1 Peter 5:8
- Compromised Christianity always hesitates to obey God.
- Genesis 19:15-16
- Compromised Christianity resists agents of truth and negotiates its rebellion.
- Genesis 19:17-20
