Vexed with the Filthy Conversation of the Wicked (2 Peter 2:7)

And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) (2 Peter 2:7-8)

Where you live, the people around you, and the things you see and hear all influence you. Lot’s choice to live in Sodom slowly ruined him. How he interacted with the Sodomites in the day the angels visited him shows how he had become despicable. You also know in what manner he had sons in the cave. The angels had to drag him out of the city to save him. “And while he lingered, the men laid hold upon his hand, and upon the hand of his wife, and upon the hand of his two daughters; the LORD being merciful unto him: and they brought him forth, and set him without the city” (Genesis 19:16). Be careful where you live. Be careful with whom you befriend. Be careful what you hear and see, especially with how our media and television and music have all become reprobate. You will adopt their ideas and learn to love what they love. Your end will be like Lot’s.
