Why We Remember Lot’s Wife

Lot’s wife belonged to a family with a great name and trust in God’s promises. She even had angels visit her home! God sent them to personally escort her from His coming wrath to His safety (Gen.19:1-22). Yet, she fell into eternal judgment because she looked back to her life in Sodom. She longed to preserve what she had and became a pillar of salt–a crystalline substance used for preservation (Gen. 19:26). Friends, Jesus is kind to warns us in Luke 17:32-33: “Remember Lot’s wife. Whoever seeks to preserve his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life will keep it.”

Prayers Rising Like a Sweet Aroma

Cornelius’ conversion account can teach us many things about the spread of the gospel to the Gentiles in the first century church. We see in this story that God’s salvation through Christ is for all the families of the earth. God shows no partiality but comes to redeem people from all nations. All this is true. But my focus today is on that small line in verse four. It makes me wonder: what if my service and prayers to God were like a memorial offering rising up as a pleasing aroma before His throne?

Women’s Teaching Lab

A Women's Teaching Lab

The Reformed Theological Seminary (RTS) has launched a Women’s Teaching Lab! The course began in the fall of 2021 and will continue spring 2022. Its purpose is to equip women for their various teaching roles in the local church, with a focus on both small-group and large-group formats. Students, whether taking the course for credit or auditing, will have the opportunity for practice teaching and feedback. I have the joy of being an instructor for this course, along with the excellent faculty members of RTS Washington. If you are a woman in the D.C. area who teaches the Bible or aspires to do so, please do consider this equipping resource!

Below is a link to the RST website where you can find information on upcoming classes. Also provided is a link to a podcast episode where I chat with the faculty about the Women’s Teaching Lab!
