Genesis 12:10-20
The Bible tells us about many people whom we would do well to emulate. Only one of those people
was perfect.
Abraham's transition from faith to fear
1. a famine in the land.
A severe situation creates hard decisions for a person to make.
God's tests are a positive thing in our lives.
2. In the process of the crisis, there is no hint of Abraham turning to the Lord for help.
3. Abraham compromised his integrity, his wife's honor, and his testimony for the Lord.
When people in leadership fail, there are greater ramifications. (Luke 12:48)
The reason we compromise God's principles is because we think we might benefit from doing so.
Whenever you make compromises with your faith, it will always lead to heartache.
4. The worst thing about what Abraham had done was the effect it had on the Pharaoh.
The results of our sins affect other people.
When we behave hypocritically, the consequences are severe, especially if if causes somebody else to stumble.
None of us will ever reach the point where we have arrived.
