No Magistrate! No Deliverer!

Pastor Bob Gray emphasizes the importance of mentorship and guidance in a young person’s life. Using the Book of Judges, he highlights the story of Laish, a city that fell because it lacked magistrates, or leaders to guide and correct its people. He draws parallels to modern life, stressing that young people, despite their talents and intelligence, need mentors to navigate life’s challenges. He advises them to seek out “magistrates” – wise, experienced individuals who can provide honest feedback and support. He shares personal anecdotes and underscores that having such relationships is crucial for both personal growth and for being able to support others in the future.
