Isn't it easier to simply keep "status quo"?
Just keep the old family clunker - who wants new payments?
Don't go to the Dr - who knows what he'll find?
If I only work one more year before retirement...

Truth be known, we struggle over the "new" because we know the "old"; we dont know the "new".

Simon Peter was faced with status quo in the little dingy with his fellow disciples. He could have kept to himself, but NO, he had to ask, "Lord if that is you,call me out"
You know the rest of the story; he was called out!

Moses was faced with status quo before entering the Promised Land. He knew they were to enter but still sent in spies; no problem! The problem came when the people favored status quo over obedience to the Lord."We were like grasshoppers in their sight!"
You know the rest of the story; 40 more years!

The weekend of September 12-14 will be an interesting weekend for our church. We're sort of mixing "spies" with being "called" by having our church architect do a feasibility study among our people about a potential building project. Is it time for our church to expand our facilities?
It will be our little way of asking the Lord "Lord if that is you, call me out"
...and we DON'T KNOW the rest of the story!
