all

when vileness honoured (Ps. 12:8)
Purging the Sins of the Amorites
• God's covenant of land for Abraham's descendants:
timing affected by sin of current inhabitants (Gen 15:16)
• forbidden to defile selves like other nations:
child sacrifice, sex outside marriage, witchcraft, spiritism (Lev 18;
Deut 12:29ff, 18:9ff)
• Israel exiled because imitated other nations,
desecrated land (2Kings 17:7-23; Ps 106:38)
• Canada's abortion rate staggering: 32/100 live;
over 100,000/yr for 10 years

molestation, destructive lifestyle

• Sodom's sin "great", "grievous", judged (Gen 13:13;
18:20)
• sin's unseen effect: detestable, defiles, pollutes,
selling oneself (Deut 12:31; Lev 18:24; 1Kings 21:25f; 2Kings 17:17)
• sell-out makes us no longer free, but the enemy's;
land vomited out sinners (Lev 18:25)
What to Do?
• not escape, but let inner Kingdom infiltrate (Heb
11:6; Eph 2:19; 2Cor 5:20; Rom 14:17)
• Paul offers alternative to lawbreaking, perversion,
and murder of his day (1Tim.1:9f)
1. Acknowledge our own need of Christ's grace: I
"worst" (1Tim 1:13ff)
2. Set an example: godly training, purity, saves
others (1Tim 4:7,12,16, 6:11; Lev 18:5)
3. Pray: lift up holy hands interceding for
authorities (Eph 6:12; 1Tim 2:1f,8; Lk 11:5ff, 18:1ff; Prov 21:1)
