Pastors, teachers, and leaders, can you imagine your church members springing into life and action for Christ? Take a look at the class for small group or homeschool to learn a new friendly form of apologetics. We’ve been taught ways that don’t work. Because of the frustration of doing what doesn’t work, many Christians have just stopped trying to bring others to Christ. This is different. No lie can stand up to the Light.

“For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading again to fear [of God’s judgment], but you have received the Spirit of adoption as sons [the Spirit producing sonship]” (Romans 8:15a Amplified Bible).
Sonship has nothing to do with male or female. It’s about maturity in Christ. The adoption this verse mentions is Eastern adoption rather than Western adoption. In Western adoption, a family adds a child to their family who wasn’t born into their family. We aren’t adopted into God’s family that way. We must be born into God’s family. We must be born again by the flowing water of the Holy Spirit. Only born sons can experience Eastern adoption. In Eastern adoption, a child has come to a level of maturity where the father can give the child responsibility. God sets mature sons (and daughters) into positions of authority. We haven’t entered into the event the Bible calls “adoption” yet, but we wait for it with anticipation.
