A Righteous Man In An Unrighteous Environment by KaideeGee(m): 9:50pm On Nov 20, 2021
2 Peter 2:8
[8](for that righteous man, dwelling among them, tormented his righteous soul from day to day by seeing and hearing their lawless deeds)—

Holy Spirit of God be glorified, we humbly invite you to l into our midst, please teach us, lead us and guide us into your truths. Remove every impediments to your flow in our lives.

Dear Followers Of Christ
The bible says "Bad company corrupts good manners" and Mr. Lot was a good example of this.
I think this is another reason why no one can attain perfection in Earth. Apart from the bloodline of sin we inherited from Adam, everyday interactions also defiles a person.
The Bible puts it as tormenting one's own soul, especially when it is conscious.
This is another reason why praying for yourself is not enough, you also have to pray for the community and environment.
One way to curtail this is to disconnect from defilements. Whether it is because of your workplace, or your neighborhood, or whatever. But there are some circumstances example of your family is source of the contamination, you can't outright disconnect from them. You will have to make constant Intercessions, take up the job of a priest. And of course also thoroughly cleanse yourself after every interaction. But let it not be that you intentionally dwell there in the midst of defilement like Lot, be like Christ, hate and shun sin and sinfulness while embracing purity.
Peace...
