  Together for Adoption — Authority: 123
  As you celebrate the birth of Jesus, take some time to reflect upon the relationship between the incarnate love of God and the church’s responsibility to care for the fatherless. Ultimately, it is God’s incarnate love that moves us outward “to visit orphans in their affliction” (James 1:27). The love we ...

  Together for Adoption — Authority: 123
  I discovered this moving music video at Harmony of Hearts , a ministry that serves Christ, his Church, and the poorest of poor through worship and music. Since I was thinking about Jesus as the great Servant of the poor when I watched it, I found the 2:32 minute mark unusually powerful. It brought me to tears. Let ...

  According to James 1:26-27 , the practice of true religion manifests itself in what we do with our words (v. 26), our service (v. 27), and our hearts (v. 27).

  Together for Adoption — Authority: 123
  “Without the gospel, your self-image is based upon living up to some standards—whether yours or someone’s imposed upon you. If you live up to those standards, you will be confident but not humble. If you don’t live up to them, you will be humble but not confident. Only in the gospel can you be both enormously ...

• Rethinking Orphan Care

  
  Aspire2 Blog — Authority: 125
  When possible, it appears that leaving an orphaned child in the impoverished home of a relative and providing that grown-up with funds is better and less costly than placing that child in an orphanage. We still need orphanages, but only as a last resort. For more, go here .

  Together for Adoption — Authority: 123
  Yesterday, I was deeply moved by something that I read in a letter that J.R.R. Tolkien wrote to his son Christopher. As I reflected upon his words, it occurred to me that he touches on something that is profoundly relevant to the global orphan crisis. Tolkien writes: “We all long for [Eden], and we are constantly ...

• Adoption, Christian Identity, and the Global Orphan Crisis

  
  Together for Adoption — Authority: 123
  I have lived long enough to learn from experience that if I am not actively locating my identity in the Gospel, I will locate it somewhere else.
