"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
