In a recent message, Jenny Weaver explained the importance of not looking back, but rather how to live and move forward with Christ.
“There’s only two times that Jesus tells us to remember someone,” Weaver says. “There’s one time that Jesus says to ‘do this in remembrance of me,’ He’s talking about Himself. He says you need to take communion and take the Lord’s Supper to remember me, and then the other time, the second time that He says remember somebody, He says ‘remember Lot’s wife.'”

Lot’s wife is remembered in Genesis for turning into a pillar of salt after she discarded the warnings of the heavenly angels not to look back at the wicked Sodom and Gomorrah while she and her family were fleeing from its destruction. This points to God as holy and righteous, a divine being who has the right to correct and discipline anything that is not of Him or His nature.
“The Jesus that the world is preaching, and even the church is teaching, is the Jesus that’s just love and doesn’t discipline His children,” says Weaver.
Weaver points out that oftentimes, Christians today refuse to share their biblical beliefs because they don’t want to offend anyone. However, if we do not tell others the truth of the gospel, we are ultimately watching them walk toward the path of eternal destruction.
“We are so worried about hurting people’s feelings that people are dying and going to hell all around us,” says Weaver. “We’ve got to get the church stronger. Our voice has to be loud and unified. We are not going to stay silent any longer. 2025, upward and onward in Jesus’ name.”
As God calls His people to holiness, this is not a time to look back at how things used to be. Instead, it’s the moment to look forward to the Lord and His righteousness and glory. This year is the time to let go of the past, embrace Christ and His ways and move into the new things He has for you.
“If you’re going to go forward in 2025, you got to stop lingering you’ve got to stop lingering in the past years.”
