More Than A Lot - Glisson, Earl

. .

Résumé :
Most Christian churches today make reference to Father Abraham as one of the more prominent Old Testament heroes of the faith. Probably fewer writings and messages focus on Abraham's nephew, Lot. However, a careful study of Lot's life provides timely insight into things to watch out for and things to avoid when seeking to be yeast in the world. We can learn from Lot's example what can impair our ability to establish influence for God in a society that is becoming more and more Godless. While Abraham is often cited as a positive example for us to emulate, Lot, on the other hand, represents a negative example. As a citizen of the wicked city of Sodom, Lot has a great opportunity to impact those around him for God, but he fails to measure up to a higher standard-even though the Bible says that Lot was a righteous man. Being righteous, in and of itself, is insufficient for him to fulfill God's purpose for his life. More is required to be the yeast of which Jesus spoke. We would be ill advised to pattern ourselves after Lot, but from him we can learn what to avoid.

Born and raised in the Gainesville area of north-central Florida, Pastor Earl's call to ministry in 1993 proved to be a significant marker in his life. One morning, while praying on his way to work in Atlanta, Georgia, he experienced a vision. Suddenly, the windshield of his truck displayed a gathering of thousands of people, and he saw himself standing before them preaching. This confirmed God's call to ministry on his life. Since answering the call, Pastor Earl has worked in nearly every facet of ministry: children, youth, young adults. In 2004, he and his wife, Marci, launched Anchor Faith Church, in St. Augustine, Florida, where they continue to serve as senior pastors. Both are alumni of Rhema Bible Training College, having graduated in 2000. Pastor Earl presently serves as Regional Director for Rhema Ministerial Association International.
