Lot and his family were living in the wicked city of Sodom. One day, angel messengers arrived with a warning: God was going to destroy the city, and Lot and his loved ones must flee.

As the family fled, Lot’s wife looked back (does this not imply a desire to turn back?), and she also was lost. Only Lot and his two daughters escaped to safety (see Genesis 19:12ff).

Three Songs and a Prayer
Today’s popular rebellion against “the establishment” has spawned both
good and bad elements. As might be expected, there are some who are
genuinely concerned that cold formalism and traditional bindings give way
to sincere, spontaneous worship of the true God. And there are those who
use current discussions to promote childish emotions and clap-trap
