Cry Wolf

We have heard so many times about the word 'cry wolf' but much can be said in this passage concerning Lot. Here we see a man who could not even save his own closest family members because of the way he was perceived as a humorist “And Lot went out, and spake unto his sons in law, which

married his daughters, and said, Up, get you out of this place;

for the LORD will destroy this city. But he seemed as one

that mocked unto his sons in law.” 

Here when Lot asked to separate themselves from the citizens of Sodom and take his family members out by the destroying angels who had come to destroy the city. Lot went to alert his own son-in-laws but Lot had little influence on his family. His son in law taught Lot

was joking. Sometimes the enemy wants to destroy our

testimony so that we will have no influence on people close to us. Be aware that if

you are a child of God living in sin, you are destroying your testimony and

very soon you won't have any more influence around your circle.  In the case of Lot, he was a righteous man who lost his saltines and was trampled down by men. As the Lord Jesus Christ warned in  in Matthew 5: 13 Ye are the salt of the earth: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be salted? it is thenceforth good for nothing, but to be cast out, and to be trodden under foot of men.

This is a great biblical message here that shows that God's name is not to be

blasphemed by so called believers. Do not be a humorist that cause

you to lose your genuineness. We are to walk soberly, examining our way and not use our liberty in Christ to blaspheme the same God who delivered us from darkness into a marvelous light. Lot is an example of a Christian, pulled so far away from his place of prominence to a place of contempt, inspite of his salvation.
