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?

Old Testament Women & Christ, the Promised Seed

Old Testament Women & Christ, the Promised Seed

Old Testament Women & Christ, the Promised Seed, traces the gospel storyline through the narratives of women. From Eve at creation and the Fall, to the matriarchs of Genesis, to women at the Exodus, the time of the judges, the kings, the Exile, to the birth of Christ, we follow Old Testament history—through the stories of thirty women—as it unfolds to show us Jesus, the promised Seed of the Woman (Genesis 3:1).
