6.4.09 Gn19, Mt18

Genesis 19:
God sent two angels to Lot in Sodom to destroy the town as well as Gomorrah. By Lot's insist, they stayed with him, but the men in the city came looking for the two men to have sex with. Lot offered his two daughters, but they won't put up with his offer. The two angels protected Lot and his family and threw them out of the city so they could flee. They also granted Lot's wish to go to Zoar instead of going into the mountains. One thing they needed to do is that they couldn't look back when they were fleeing. However, Lot's wife looked back and she became a pillar of salt. When Lot reached Zoar, Sodom and Gomorrah were being distroyed. Abraham saw the smokes coming out of the cities. Lot didn't stay in Zoar, for he was afraid. He took his two daughters into the mountains and stayed in a cave. The two daughters thought there were no men to lie with so they lay with their father so they could preserve their family line. When they lay with Lot, Lot was drunk, so he didn't know. His two daughters each bore a son for him.

Matthew 18:
When asked by the disciples who were the greatest in heaven, Jesus replied the children for they were little and bumble. Whoever welcomes a child welcomes Jesus, and whoever causes a child to sin, is against Jesus, and therefore, should be thrown into the depths of the sea. Whatever is hindering us from knowing God more needs be readicalling cut out of our life, for it is better to enter heaven incomplete than to be thrown in hell forever. If a shepherd has a hundred sheep and one gets lost, he would leave the crowd of sheep to go and fetch for the lost one, and this is how our Father would do to us if we were lost. If a brother wronged us, we should tell him privately, but if he didn't listen, we should get some people to be witnesses, but if he still refused to listen, just treat them like pagans and tax collectors. Whatever you bind on earth will be bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be loosed in heaven. Moreover, for where two or three come together in Jesus's name, ther he is with them.
A servant's great debt was cancelled by his master. However, he went and fetched for the debt others owed him, and had thrown the person into jail for the little debt he owed him. When the master heard this he threw that servant into jail and had him experience great torture before he could pay back all the dabts. If we were like the ungraceful survant, then that's what God will do to us.
