Greetings

Dear BAGBR Churches,
Mark 2: 2 “…no room, not even near the
door…”
It was quite crowded in the house as
Jesus was speaking the word. They kept
coming in until the room had no more room.
More than likely everyone was seated inside
and there was not a vacant spot. The
door was opened wide and those who could not
get in, sat or stood in the doorway to the
point that no one could get near enough to
hear the Word on the inside.
We would love to have a situation like that
in our churches… to be so crowded that even
the doorways were filled with people
desiring to hear the Word. But how
many of us would be excited if others who
wanted to hear damaged the building…if they
removed the roof to let others in to see and
hear? We want crowds; we want crowds
that we can manage. But when there is a
desperate hunger for Christ, it could reach
the point that we cannot ‘control’ them.
Would we be as excited then? They were out
of control by the religious group but Jesus
had absolute control over the entire
situation.
We may pray for revival on our terms, in
ways that we can determine and even control,
but is that revival? Would we be
willing to pray for a spiritual awakening
that exceeds our ability to manage how it
will affect our life, our church, our
building, our ministry?
Either we are praying for revival that we
control or Christ controls.
In Christ,
Tommy Middleton

|
The Baptist

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

family and community orientation, and social
involvement that exemplifies the caring and sharing
nature of Jesus Christ in order to effect life

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. |

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.
