Abraham Argues with God Genesis 18:22 (Episode #88)

Abraham Argues with God

Abraham "still stood" before the Lord but he doesn't exactly "stand still-ly".  He demonstrates today a real quest for understanding the judgment of God, in real time, in a real place, to real people, to a real outcry of sin.

He serves as a great example for every believer and soon-to-be-believer.  The Lord loves genuine inquiry.  He can take a faithful, humble, I-am-dirt-who-are-You kind of question.  Abraham rattles the limits a little here.  He pushes the envelope.  He goes right to the line AND THE LORD LISTENS AND RESPONDS and in my view, appreciates his persistence.  

Sodom asks the big big big questions and answers them:
Lord, do you SEE?
Lord, are you JUST?
Lord, does Your Justice mean JUDGMENT?
Lord, how should I live?
Lord, are ALL of us guilty?

But for today, we just have one guy and one God.  One guy wrestling.  One God being patient and I think delighted.  Listen.  I promise you'll be entertained.
