Title: Who Am I? / Genesis 19:4-14
Content There are close to 50 million people living in our country alone. In particular, Seoul boasts a very high population density. Nevertheless, grab someone on the street and ask. Who isn't busy? You and I are living in a busy world. That is the punishment that science has brought us. In the past, it is difficult to see the rural atmosphere and leisurely atmosphere, even after washing your eyes. It's just that I'm just having a busy day growing up on my own.
The way they live their lives is different. A person who is active in everything, annoyed at everything, indecisive, always smiling, bored... Some people even have an adverse effect.
Right now, the Ministry of National Defense is too gloomy to be reminiscent of a portrait book. It is because of the case where an active duty lieutenant stole a gun and tried to rob a bank because he wanted to spend 40 million won in horse racing debt. With this person, the military will suffer a significant blow and many people due to the load. This is a person whose actions are adversely affecting many people.
People copying checks, people stealing police guns...
We are, in a sense, people who are influenced, influenced, and lived by whether we like it or not. It is the {human principle} given to those who are it.
In this society, we cannot help asking ourselves questions. “What kind of person am I? How will I be projected to others? Today, we must project our image through the main character, Lot, who appears in the text.
The main text is the story of the city of Sodom.
Verses 4-5 and the first half of verse 9 show the state of the city of Sodom. The word {correlation} means, as we well know, homosexuality. Homosexuality is a testament to the fact that sexual ethics is at its most depraved. It is said that the actress {Keanu Reeves} of the movie {Speed} got married recently. He is a very wild action star and many women admire him. But I heard that the married bride was of the same sex. What makes America today a hopeless country is also due to the extreme ethical depravity of abortion in 1983 and homosexuality by the Clinton administration. Their dominant Puritan spirit was sacrificed to pragmatism. That is exactly what Sodom was. And they insult and ignore Lot's earnest request. There are only two things that the text shows, but if we look at the first part we have looked at, we can see God's plan to destroy Sodom because of the sins of the city. Maybe this city isn't too far away. If unbelief and untruth are rampant in the place we live in, and lawlessness, abusive language, and violent behavior are rampant, it would be Sodom and Gomorrah.
What kind of person are you? The reason Lot became like this shows that he did not live a life of a clear believer. It shows that he was a person who lived while allowing appropriate iniquity and lies. Who am I? This time is similar to the situation in Sodom and Gomorrah. So, if you try to live by adhering to the principles as a Christian, you will face considerable isolation and disadvantage. Not to mention office workers, and even those who are self-employed, there seems to be no way to live without a reasonable compromise. So we are tainted with moderation, and one moderation creates greater fitness. So more and more Christians lose their strength. {reverse osmosis} that does not affect but is rather affected occurs.
As I was preparing Lot's sermon, I looked at myself. What is my influence? I couldn't help but think that there wasn't much. I don't know if the positions of the Dongilro Church and the robbery have influence, but Jong-min Kim did not seem to have much influence. So it hurts my heart to give this sermon.
Dear all! Who are you? What influence are you having on those around you?
