1.28.2018

  1. Dinah’s Story
  1. Her family (Genesis 30:20-21)
  2. Her unfortunate circumstances (Genesis 34:1-2; 34:25*)
  3. Her family’s previous choices (Genesis 33:18-19)
  1. Lot’s Wife Story
  1. Her family (Genesis 13:12-13)
  2. Her unfortunate circumstances (Genesis 19:15-16)
  3. Her demise (Genesis 19:23-28)
  1. Our Character
  1. What command from 1 John 2:!5?
  2. According to the same verse, what should be present rather than the love of the world?
  3. Demus – 2 Timothy 4:10
  4. Lot’s wife as told by Jesus Christ – Luke 17:28-33

Women of the Bible by Spangler and Syswerda (page 41)

Her Character: She was a prosperous woman who may have been more attached to the good life than was good for her. Though there is no indication she participated in the sin of Sodom, her story implies she had learned to tolerate it and that her heart had become divided as a result.

Her Tragedy: That her heart’s choice led to judgment rather than mercy, and that she ultimately refused God’s attempts to save her.
