LIGHT OF MENORAHGenesis - 39 - Gen. 19:1-16 Lot Sat in the Gates in Sodom - Assimilation?
OK, Lot, Abraham’s nephew. He’s got to be an OK guy, right? I mean look at his uncle. Abraham! I mean come on. But, right from the get go we see that theirs is something wrong with Lot.

Part 2Lois Tverberg, popular Christian author of the “Rabbi Jesus” book series, shares the story of why she left her career as a college biology professor to write about the Jewish context of Jesus full time.
