Pillar Of Salt

Contributed by Jeff Hatos on May 29, 2019

The sinful cities of Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed for their sinfulness. Lot's wife was turned into a pillar of salt for looking back at the cities. Do we deserve the same fate for looking back to our sinful lives?

Every miracle in the Old Covenant was a rehearsal for the grace of the New. Every shadow in Moses’ story finds its ...read more
