• We must flee from youthful lust and perversion in the way that Lot's Wife should have fled from Sodom. Besetting sins, especially the bondage of the flesh, must be repented of with all due seriousness.
• Imagine you were a bank employee and your job was to open the vault for the Safety Deposit clients of the bank. You noticed an eccentric elderly couple who were doting on their treasures every day from the time that the bank opened until the time that the bank closed. One day the man showed you his treasure. It was a Gutenberg Bible worth $20 million dollars and he confessed his need to read it and meditate it all day long, but that this Bible was too valuable to risk reading at home. He said to you, "Thy Word have I treasured in my heart that I might not sin against G-d." You were very impressed and naturally curious about his wife, since she was always in the bank with him and was continually gazing at a golden canister that she pulled from her own Safety Deposit Box. The man looked down sadly and said that her old dog had died some years back and she had kept some of its stomach contents preserved to remember it. The Bible has a warning about smelly dog vomit. There's a warning about a heart that forgets about its having been cleansed from its former lusts. There's a warning about a heart that begins to harbor secretly the smelly dog vomit of the besetting sins of the old perverse life. Like a dog that returns to its vomit, so the eyes of Lot's wife returned to look back and yearn for the perverse old life so antithetical to the holiness G-d's angels were leading her to. Whoever takes the plow but stubbornly keeps looking back is not fit for the Kingdom of G-d. So the ish haElohim whose mind is stayed on the evil of this world is no longer a clean vessel fit for the Master's use.
