Don't look back.

With all due respect to my Christian brother, that is not the lesson being taught in that passage. The idea of pressing forward instead of focusing on the past, however, is shown by Paul in Philippians 3:13-14: "Brothers and sisters, I do not regard myself as having taken hold of it yet; but one thing I do: forgetting what lies behind and reaching forward to what lies ahead, I press on toward the goal for the prize of the upward call of God in Christ Jesus."

Oh, look, a false teacher

Not quite accurate. We must look back to assess & repent of sins & sin. We must not look back with longing to return tothat which destroys or will destroy.

Lots wife looked back, and was turned into a pillar of salt.

Amen. But it’s not that complicated - You just have to come to terms with dying to self crucifying the flesh and picking up that cross - the road to fully embracing the Lord helping others and spreading the word.

Thank you for this great message to begin the new year!

Lots wife—-not Lot. If you are going to tell as important a story as this PLEASE tell it accurately

It should be emphasized that the Bible does not record any instance of God employing transfiguration as a means of retribution for humans, thereby indicating that Lot’s wife should not be viewed as a unique case in this regard. Lot's wife's fate was a consequence of the sweeping destruction that engulfed the city. The fact that God is sending sulfurous fire from Heaven upon the land (Genesis 19:24) and Lot himself acknowledges his fear of being caught in the storm (Genesis 19:19), it is reasonable to assume that any hesitation or delay in Lot’s party, such as one member looking back, would result in a similar fate to that of Sodom’s inhabitants. In Genesis 19:26, the word "netziv," often interpreted as "pillar," can also be understood as "garrison," as seen in Chronicles. The imagery evoked is that of a chilling, intimidating, perpetually desolate gaze of city walls encrusted with (or made of) salt, while the Lord’s promise remains: “ . . . the 𝐋𝐎𝐑𝐃 𝐛𝐞𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐦𝐞𝐫𝐜𝐢𝐟𝐮𝐥 𝐮𝐧𝐭𝐨 𝐡𝐢𝐦: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city.” (Genesis 19:16) “ . . . 𝐥𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐧𝐨𝐭 𝐛𝐞𝐡𝐢𝐧𝐝 𝐭𝐡𝐞𝐞, neither stay thou in all the plain; escape to the mountain, 𝐥𝐞𝐬𝐭 𝐭𝐡𝐨𝐮 𝐛𝐞 𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐬𝐮𝐦𝐞𝐝.” (Genesis 19:17) 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑠𝑢𝑚𝑒𝑑: 𝑡𝑜 𝑠𝑐𝑎𝑡𝑡𝑒𝑟, 𝑟𝑒𝑚𝑜𝑣𝑒, 𝑜𝑟 𝑟𝑢𝑖𝑛; 𝑖𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑛𝑠𝑖𝑡𝑖𝑣𝑒𝑙𝑦, 𝑡𝑜 𝑝𝑒𝑟𝑖𝑠ℎ, 𝑡𝑜 𝑑𝑒𝑠𝑡𝑟𝑜𝑦. Abraham, however, wakes up to a distinct change in the surroundings. His attention is captivated by the flames and the billowing smoke, serving as a stark reminder of the inevitability of death. Rather than lamenting the loss of the lush vegetation that once adorned Sodom, his thoughts are on the inhabitants he endeavored to rescue, despite their wickedness. Despite lacking any personal attachment or obligation towards them, his compassion and concern for their well-being remains. Sodom's self-centeredness stood in stark contrast to Abraham's selflessness, emphasizing the importance of following the path of the Lord rather than being consumed by worldly desires, as Jesus reminds us (Luke 17:31-32). It is a reminder for us to prioritize spiritual values over materialistic temptations. Her physical body might have dissolved from the city, but her heart had never left.

Truth: NOWHERE, I repeat, NOWHERE does the Bible say that “looking back” is a sin. NOWHERE. Now, this guy may speak motivationally, but please understand that he doesn’t know the Bible. He is at best ignorant, and at worst a grifter for money. He watches too much Steven Furtick.
