Hi Terry, you write:
Judy: After doing a little research, the only thing I could
find about Lot preaching was Genesis 19:6-9. Lot is begging the
Sodomites not to do WICKEDLY. They respond by saying he KEEPS acting
as a judge. (new KJV). Evidently he had talked to them about their
wickedness on multiple occasions, and they resented it. Terry
Judy: I've looked also and as Slade (I believe) has already noted
there is no record of Lot ever preaching to the men of Sodom; they were
threatening to take him if he didn't hand over the two men.
If he had preached to Sodom his message would have to have
been one of hell fire and damnation because our hope was then a
mystery. God is not obligated to warn the wicked. But Lot's
righteous soul was vexed by their ungodly behavior.
Today Jesus is our Master and He is the one we are to follow - so the
model has changed....
"Jesus went about all Galilee, teaching in their synagogues, and
preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing all manner of sickness,
and all manner of disease among the people." (Matthew 4:23)
"When the even was come, they brought unto Him many that were
possessed with devils, and He cast out the spirits with His Word, and
healed all that were sick; that it might be fulfilled which was spoken by
Isaiah the prophet, saying, Himself took our infirmities, and bore our
sicknesses" (Matthew 8:15,17)
If those in street ministry are unable to perform the
Ministry of Jesus then they are out there on their own; we need to wait as
He did, until we receive power from on high to meet the needs of the
people. They are already under a curse, we don't need to condemn
them any further.
Grace and Peace,
judy

I did not find that in scripture. Didn't even look
to see if it was there. Just responded to a blurb from
Dean.

Where do you find in scripture that Lot preached in Sodom?
He chose it because it was a well watered plain and it was probably
going downhill
then. I know scripture teaches that Noah preached to his
generation - but Lot?

Thanks for the help.
