Three Stages in Lot's Life
Genesis 19:16
And while he lingered, the men laid hold on his hand, and on the hand of his wife, and on the hand of his two daughters…


I. LOT GOING IN THE DIRECTION OF SODOM. People generally go in the direction of that which is wrong before they thoroughly go into it.

II. LOT DWELLING IN SODOM.

III. The omnipotent mercy of God Almighty, DELIVERING HIM OUT OF SODOM.

(M. Rainsford, B. A.)
