Dear BAGBR Churches,
Deut. 17: 12 “The man who acts
presumptuously by not listening to the
priest…to the judge…”
These were two positions that held important
responsibilities in regard to those who came
to Jerusalem to worship. Listening to them
was critical in order for their time in
Jerusalem to be time well spent. The priest
directed the religious life which gave
instruction about what was required to live
in compliance with the law of Lord. Not
everyone who came to worship in Jerusalem
understood what was required, and often the
priests, who were discharged with
administering the sacrifices, also were
teachers and instructors about ‘what the
Lord required.’ In fact, if the truth were
known, this may have been more of their
daily activity than administering the
sacrificial system—teaching the people what
the Lord requires!
The Judges would give instruction from the
law on what was required to be right with
fellow man and how to treat others so that
they properly, ethically loved their
neighbor. It was not just making a ruling
or arbitrating conflicts but giving counsel
and instruction on what would be best to
avoid conflicts leading to the need for
judgment. To act presumptuously was to act
in a way that said, “I know all the answers,
I don’t need anyone to tell me what to do.”
Two important purposes of our gathering for
worship are to learn how to please the Lord
and how to treat others…so when we leave
worship we should have learned at least two
things.
In
Christ,
Tommy Middleton

of Churches and Missions cooperating together as
agents for positive change in the spiritual, social,

will be relationship based, evangelism centered,
service oriented, and training focused.
The churches and

MISSION |
|
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.
