A Step in the Wrong Direction (22 of 61)
In the Beginning
Pastor Jeff Schreve
Primary Scripture: Genesis 13:5-18
Well, if you have your Bible, please turn to Genesis chapter 13. My Bible entitles this chapter Abram and Lot. We've titled this message, "A Step in the Wrong Direction." That's kind of a great statement concerning the life of Lot.
Now, how many in here would say that directions are just not your thing? You're directionally challenged. You get behind a wheel and if you're supposed to turn left, you just have trouble.

And he said, "I have no gas, and I'm driving really fast, trying to figure out where I'm going." And he said, "It was a very scary experience." Hey, you can get yourself in a lot of trouble if you take a wrong turn.
But what happens if you take a wrong turn in life? You know, you take a wrong turn in a car, and it used to be - younger people don't realize this because they've always grown up with Google maps - but before Google maps, there was a key map or a big map that you had to buy. And you're by yourself trying to drive, trying to look at the map and it's very easy to get lost. But if you take a wrong turn in a car, you can correct that, typically, but if you take a wron ...
