Genesis 19:14: "So Lot went out and spoke to his sons-in-law, who had married his daughters, and said, 'Get up, get out of this place; for the LORD will destroy this city!' But to his sons-in-law he seemed to be joking." I have always been so saddened by this Scripture. Here Lot is trying to save his family and the way he must have lived his life up to this point destroyed his testimony. His own family thought he wasn't serious. This is a reminder to make sure our families know our testimony. We don't have to be serious all the time, and humor can be fun, when done in moderation. I believe Lot had lived a very compromising lifestyle. And, when his family needed him the most, he had no credibility with them. As a result, they died. LORD, help us to be faithful to our families.
