Dear BAGBR Churches,
Genesis 7: 16 “Those that entered…and the
Lord closed it behind them.”
Noah did his part in building the ark
according to God’s direction and
specifications. He also stocked the ark with
the needed food supplies that would be
required for surviving these many days and
afterwards until food could be grown again.
All of his family boarded and waited, but
apparently the door remained open for a
period of time, for whoever might come.
They could have come at any time had they
believed the Word of the Lord. But, no
doubt, the message of Noah sounded foolish
to them and may have even seemed silly.
Why do you build a large boat on dry ground,
then fill it full of animals and family?
How could it float? After all, it had never
rained (Genesis 2: 6) so this concept was
foreign to their mentality. But then,
shortly after it was completely loaded,
stocked, and prepared, the door suddenly
began to close. An unseen hand reached down
and closed that door…sealing those within
from the danger of the flood and sealing
those without from the safety of the ark.
No one knew exactly what day it would be,
but it was in line with the instruction that
was given. They worked, and waited and when
God closed the door, it was settled and
sealed. And NOW, we indeed are to be
building, stocking, calling, working,
waiting…while the door is open to all who
will believe the gospel. But when the
door is shut, it is closed, and this will be
either at our death or at His return. While
we have day…let us work, while the door is
open for those who have not believed. Oh may
they Come NOW!
In
Christ,
Tommy Middleton

VISION |
|
The Baptist
Association of Greater Baton Rouge will be a Network
of Churches and Missions cooperating together as
agents for positive change in the spiritual, social,
and cultural fabric of their communities through

family and community orientation, and social
involvement that exemplifies the caring and sharing
nature of Jesus Christ in order to effect life
transformation in individuals, families, and
communities. Actions developing from this vision
will be relationship based, evangelism centered,
service oriented, and training focused.
The churches and
individuals of the Baptist Association of Greater
Baton Rouge are asked to MAKE A COMMITMENT TO A
VISION FOR KINGDOM GROWTH THAT IS LARGER THAN THE
LOCAL CHURCH. |

The
Baptist Association of Greater Baton Rouge has as
its present mission (A) to establish new
relationships between both the churches and pastors;
(B) to strengthen existing relationships of the
churches and members through a commitment to a
vision for kingdom growth that is larger than the
local church. This commitment can be evaluated by
the degree to which the local church members will
penetrate their community with the Gospel of Jesus
Christ through family and community orientation and
social involvement that exemplifies the caring and
sharing nature of Jesus Christ.
