    Learning A Lot From Lot

    Contributed by Greg Nance on Oct 26, 2013
    based on 3 ratings
     | 14,781 views

    Lot's life demonstrates where we go when we look at what we like instead of looking up for the Lord's guidance. Loving God is learned through life's challenges more than life's pleasures.

Most of them begin with “Once upon a time” and end with “Happily ever-after.” The book of Ruth ...read more
