Do you know what Sodom’s sins were? You probably just thought about a particular sexual sin.
While that is true, it is not the complete story. When speaking of Jerusalem’s idolatry, the prophet Ezekiel said of them:
"Look, this was the iniquity of your sister Sodom: She and her daughter had pride, fullness of food, and abundance of idleness; neither did she strengthen the hand of the poor and needy. And they were haughty and committed abomination before Me; therefore I took them away as I saw fit (Ezekiel 16:49-50)."
Did you notice that pride was listed first, with food indulgence after that? You might ask, "What is wrong with being full of food?"
I believe the story of Sodom is a cautionary tale for believers in Christ today.
Some say that gluttony is the most accepted sin in the church. Our attitude seems to be, "Lord, I’ll give you everything – but don’t touch my food!"
However, for our mission's sake, we must confront the spirit of gluttony that is rampant in the church.
In the following article, you'll learn why confronting this issue in your own life is critical and receive a prayer to cast this spirit out for good.
