BBA Spring 2015 Meeting

"Where is God working and how will you join him?" Asked Layndon Warrren, church strategist for NAMB, to the 120 representatives of the Beulah Baptist Association at our Spring 2015 meeting. Warren exhorted the church representatives to follow the "call of God" by living a life of abandonment. Warren explained that we as followers of Jesus must continually abandon our way in order to live His way. Led by Warren, the Associational representatives investigated the message and call of Jesus recorded in Mark 1:14-20 being challenged by Jesus to "come follow" Him and He will make us fishers of men. We were reminded from the text that following Jesus in total abandonment is a a life of adventure and inconvenience. Warren stated, ""We are going to have to be inconvenienced in order to fulfill the Great Commission." The sons of Zebedee left "family, friends, familiarity, and financial stability" in order to follow the call of Jesus. Warren argued that Jesus is WORTH the abandonment and inconvenience for the furtherance of His kingdom. Thanks Layndon for your faithfulness to the text as well as a strong word of exhortation for the BBA to work side-by-side in the effort to reach our nation and the nations with the gospel. Layndon will be speaking at Clement Baptist Church for their Engaged 2015 Missions Conference through the weekend.
