"Move over" is the Krey motto over at The Ranch (the nickname for their house) where my dad's family grew up. A family of 17 never has enough space. Lot and Abram have run out of room so instead of fighting for space, they go their separate ways. God has blessed Abram and Lot and their blessings have led to problems and yet their problems lead to the opportunity of starting their own lives.
At Faith, we are blessed. We are a big family that loves to worship and fellowship. With that blessing comes a tendency to be inwardly focused. There are also times when we confuse worship and fellowship! (We are a boisterous congregation!) Yet, we can take our gifts and our "problems" and make them opportunities. We can use our gift of fellowship to make people feel welcome and part of the family. Our worship services can inspire us to be more in touch with our spirituality through the course of each day and week.
Abrams tent won't have extra room for long because God tells him that he will have more descendants than the grains of sand. What if we had so many people worshiping on Sunday that sitting in the pews you were always asked to "move over." We would then have a new problem and yet great opportunity!
