Default God Hates Rubberneckers - 12-19-2013, 02:41 AM

Fellow Christians, we've all had the experience of encountering sudden traffic slowdowns and crawling along for a seemingly endless time only to discover that it is all due to someone on the side of the road changing a flat tire. We then reflect that some portion of our God given life has been lost by some anonymous rubbernecker that just had to slow down to have a look or gawk. Add all this up and perhaps hundreds or thousands have had their lives disrupted and their time wasted on this earth by these nameless individuals that can't seem to mind their own business - all for just one instance of rubbernecking.

While reading the Bible (KJV1611) the other day (as I do everyday) I was reading the story of Lot and Sodom and Gomorrah and the Holy Spirit provided me with a new insight to God's message to us. Lot's wife was probably the first rubbernecker and we are reminded that God immediately killed her and turned her into a pillar of salt as a warning of what might happen to any future rubberneckers.

Quote:
And when the morning arose, then the angels hastened Lot, saying, Arise, take thy wife, and thy two daughters, which are here; lest thou be consumed in the iniquity of the city.

And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the Lord being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.

And it came to pass, when they had brought them forth abroad, that he said, Escape for thy life; look not behind thee, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, lest thou be consumed.

And Lot said unto them, Oh, not so, my Lord:

Behold now, thy servant hath found grace in thy sight, and thou hast magnified thy mercy, which thou hast shewed unto me in saving my life; and I cannot escape to the mountain, lest some evil take me, and I die:

Behold now, this city is near to flee unto, and it is a little one: Oh, let me escape thither, (is it not a little one?) and my soul shall live.

And he said unto him, See, I have accepted thee concerning this thing also, that I will not overthrow this city, for the which thou hast spoken.

Haste thee, escape thither; for I cannot do anything till thou be come thither. Therefore the name of the city was called Zoar.

The sun was risen upon the earth when Lot entered into Zoar.

Then the Lord rained upon Sodom and upon Gomorrah brimstone and fire from the Lord out of heaven;

And he overthrew those cities, and all the plain, and all the inhabitants of the cities, and that which grew upon the ground.

But his wife looked back from behind him, and she became a pillar of salt.

- Genesis 19:15-26


Hell's foundations quiver at the shout of praise;
brothers, lift your voices, loud your anthems raise.
...and get off my lawn
