⚠️ "He Pitched His Tent Toward Sodom": The Danger of Worldly Choices | Voddie Baucham
"Lot lifted his eyes and saw all the plain of Jordan, that it was well watered everywhere... like the garden of the Lord." - Genesis 13:10

Every day, we make choices that either draw us closer to God or inch us toward destruction.
In this piercing expository message, *Voddie Baucham* examines the separation of *Abram and Lot* in Genesis 13.

While Abram acted as a peacemaker, trusting God to provide even in the less desirable land, Lot made a decision based solely on economics and visual appeal. Dr. Baucham warns that Lot didn't move to Sodom overnight; he simply "pitched his tent toward" it. This sermon is a sober warning to fathers and leaders: Do not sacrifice the spiritual well-being of your family for the sake of "greener pastures" or financial gain.

*In this sermon, you will discover:*
*The Conflict:* How wealth and possessions can create strife among brethren.
*The Choice:* The danger of "Lifting your eyes" (Walking by Sight) instead of trusting God's promise.
*The Slide:* The gradual progression of sin—first you look, then you pitch your tent near, then you move in.
*The Peacemaker:* Abram's humility in giving up his rights for the sake of peace.
