"Re: "Remember Lot's Wife""


Greetings Doves;  I confess to being a 'lurker' for a year or more. Just wanted to comment on 'Lot's wife.'  Not everyone is married to a believer living a godly lifestyle. Some maybe have chosen to stay married to unbelieving and even ungodly spouses in obedience to the Lord.  In such cases, let's be careful not to call 'evil' 'good'  in 'the name of love.'  It is very important in such cases to have healthy, strong, boundaries with an 'ungodly' mate;  while the believing spouse 'walks out' the christian faith before them, NOT returning evil for evil, but rather good for evil. Not holding any resentment, bitterness, hatred or strife in the heart; but rather praying for the unbeliever. This is the sacrificial love that our Lord Jesus Christ displayed for His church when he laid down his life for us.  God Bless!     Bonnie
