Mr. Jacob Timmer talks about how God is merciful enough to rescue us from the places we’ve drifted to, but rescue requires letting go of what’s behind us, from Genesis 19:15–29, including 1) God has a Father’s heart; He rescues us even when we resist (Gen. 19:15–16), 2) Lot wanted influence without holiness (Genesis 19:1), 3) What we refuse to release will destroy us (Gen. 19:23–29), and 4) The things that keep us lingering will all fail us (Luke 17:28–33).
