Deuteronomy 32:48-52 Judged More Strictly

 48On that same day the LORD said to Moses, 49“Go up into the Abarim Range to Mount Nebo, in the land of Moab across from Jericho, and view the land of Canaan, which I am giving to the Israelites as their own possession.

50And there on the mountain that you climb, you will die and be gathered to your people, just as your brother Aaron died on Mount Hor and was gathered to his people.

51For at the waters of Meribah-kadesh in the Wilderness of Zin, both of you broke faith with Me among the Israelites by failing to treat Me as holy in their presence. 52Although you shall see from a distance the land that I am giving the Israelites, you shall not enter it.”


Judged More Strictly 


“Moses, as the last act of his 120 years, will climb Mount Nebo, and die at the summit of the mountain.” (Guzik)


The Lords priests, preachers, ministers, teachers and overseers are held to a higher standard than the congregation.

James 3: 1Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly. 


Is it a wonder then that Moses and Aaron wouldn’t step foot into the promised land?

They led the Israelites and disobeyed the Lord so they were judged more strictly.


1 Timothy 3: 2An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife,a temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, 3not dependent on wine, not violent but gentle, peaceable, and free of the love of money.

4An overseer must manage his own household well and keep his children under control, with complete dignity. 5For if someone does not know how to manage his own household, how can he care for the church of God? 6He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same condemnation as the devil. 7Furthermore, he must have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the snare of the devil.


Do school teachers fall under this biblical standard and will they be judged more strictly?
