I heard Dr. Adrian Rogers speaking on the radio. He brought out that there was more to Sodom’s sin than immorality. He quoted the Bible, “Now this was the sin of your sister Sodom: she and her daughters were arrogant, overfed and unconcerned; they did not help the poor and needy.” [1]
The Sodomites looked down on others. They indulged in gluttony. They lacked concern for their deprived neighbors. Adrian was not making light of immoral sin. He was bringing out other characteristics of the Sodomites that were detestable in God’s sight.
“They were haughty and did detestable things before Me. Therefore, I did away with them as you have seen.” [2]
A humble attitude, fasting from food to focus on praying for spiritual renewal and putting others before ourselves is good for us. The desire of our Savior is to save us from this present evil age.
