Scripture Blog

This weblog is my personal online scripture journal. I try to read the scriptures each morning as I exercise on my cross-trainer. It has a great impact on my life and my testimony of the Savior and his restored church. The journal is really for my own benefit but I have set it up as a web log in hopes to benefit anyone else that may be interested. "For he that diligently seeketh shall find; and the mysteries of God shall be unfolded unto them, by the power of the Holy Ghost..." 1 Nephi 10:19

Genesis 13

Moses specifically noted that after Lot and Abraham seperated that -

"...Lot dwelled in the cities of the plain, and pitched his tent toward Sodom." (Old Testament | Genesis 13:12)

One would have to assume that even though Lot was not living in Sodom, the fact that he pitched his tent toward Sodom suggests an keen interest in Sodom for -

"...the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly." (Old Testament | Genesis 13:13)

What a great lesson we learn with this statement. Do we pitch our tents toward the world, Babylon, Idumea, or other references of carnal desires. If we do, we set ourselves up begin to move toward Sodom. If we choose to avoid even of the appearance of evil, we will refuse to pitch our tents toward Sodom.
