Where is your family headed? Because we live in the midst of a humanist society that rejects God and His infallible truths, we must constantly guard against being subtly assimilated into the culture. Even righteous people can be fooled.

Lot was a righteous man (2 Peter 2:7-8) but the Bible says he “pitched his tent toward Sodom” (Genesis 13:12). He pointed the direction of his home toward this evil place. He could have pitched his home toward the mountains and been drawn towards God. What we look on, read, spend most of our time on, and think about is what we will become. Soon Lot and his family landed up living in Sodom (Genesis 14:12). Then we read of how he is totally entrenched in the city life. He is an elder in the Gate of Sodom (Genesis 19:1).

He was still a righteous man who trusted in God, but he lost most of his family! When he tried to warn his sons in law, sons, and daughters to run from the coming judgment, they thought he was crazy. They were entrenched in the culture—and were destroyed (Genesis 19: 12-28).

What is the passion and direction of your family? The direction you are pointed is where you will end. Keep pointed towards God’s ways.
