Luke 17:32 Remember Lot's wife. Over sand-bars and hidden rocks in the sea are sometimes placed buoy-bells, which are rung by the action of the waves. So God has set great danger-signals in the sea of time. Such is the story of Sodom and Lot's wife. 1. Remember her surroundings. Sin is often seemingly beautiful and attractive. Beware of the alluring power of evil associations. 2. Remember her danger. This world is a Sodom, and against it has been declared the condemnation of God's law. 3. Remember her warning. Sacrifice everything. Look not back for companions or possessions. Delay not for a better opportunity, for greater conviction, etc. Linger not in the plains of a professed morality. 4. Remember her delay. Procrastination is most perilous. 5. Remember her disobedience. 6. Remember her doom. Disobedience develops into the deadly fruit of death. (G. Elliott.)
