Here is the list of the men who performed this service: 2  From the sons of Asaph:...]]></description><link>https://www.thewingsofadove.com/post/choosing-songs-for-worship</link><guid isPermaLink="false">698fc57c7d7145cd9e9fde0d</guid><pubDate>Sat, 14 Feb 2026 00:49:23 GMT</pubDate><enclosure url="https://static.wixstatic.com/media/54ffcd_42ad3ee614a247c8be947a0242c63cb8~mv2.jpg/v1/fit/w_1000,h_1000,al_c,q_80/file.png" length="0" type="image/png"/><dc:creator>Kristina Trott</dc:creator></item><item><title><![CDATA[Worried about unsaved family? You need to read this.]]></title><description><![CDATA[I last wrote about Lot and his family being rescued when God destroyed Sodom. I had pointed out that Lot had not been righteous and upright yet he was saved because of the petitions of Abraham. But God had listened to Abraham’s request and kept Lot safe, removing him from the disaster that engulfed the cities on the plain. (Gen. 19:29 NLT). I had been brought up with a theology that you had to extensively know and understand aspects of the Bible before you could be saved.

Let me explain by posting this passage: “20  So the Lord told Abraham, “I have heard that the people of Sodom and Gomorrah are utterly evil, and that everything they do is wicked. 21  I am going down to see whether these reports are true or not.
