Lot's Choice and Abram's Temptation in Egypt
A Sunday School lesson on Genesis 13 contrasts Abram’s humane generosity with Lot’s worldly choosing. It notes Abram’s famine retreat to Egypt, his wealth not equating to covetousness, and Lot’s move toward the Jordan plain and eventual exposure to Sodom’s vices. The study cautions against avarice and warns of gradual moral compromise within family and society.

What One Little Worm Did
A grand park hosted a naturalist recounting how a sycamore tree, once healthy, died after a three inch worm bored under its bark. The owner warned that if left alone the tree would die, and the next summer its leaves fell early and the tree became dead and rotten. One worm can kill a whole tree. One sin can ruin a child for whom Christ died.
