“The assumption that the larger culture agrees with Christians on values issues led to evangelicals' minimizing the theologically distinctive aspects of Christian witness.

“When we adopt—and when we encourage a culture of adoption in our churches and communities—we’re picturing something that’s true about our God. We, like Jesus, see what our Father is doing and do likewise (John 5:19). And what our Father is doing, it turns out, is fighting for orphans, making them sons and daughters.” TurnsCultureFightingFatherJesusCommunityChurchSonDaughterAdoptionEncouragingOur FatherOrphanSon And DaughterBible Verse Author:Russell D.
