The calling of Abram: Yahweh told Abram to leave his native/pagan land and his father’s house/land/inheritance for a new walk, a new land that Yahweh would show him, promising to make of him a great nation, bless those who blessed him, and curse those who cursed him. Follow Yahweh’s command, at age 75, Abram took his wife Sarai, his nephew Lot, and traveled to the terebinth of Moreh, (teaching) at Shechem in Canaan.
Why are we called?
If we are not gathering then we are scattering!!
