Twice Adopted September 26, 2018 by Ken Shackelford We are so proud of our girl Jalynn (11). She committed her life to Jesus and followed His example and command in baptism today. So you have not received a spirit that makes you fearful slaves. Instead, you received God’s Spirit when he adopted you as his own children. Now we call him, “Abba, Father.” For his Spirit joins with our spirit to affirm that we are God’s children. And since we are his children, we are his heirs. In fact, together with Christ we are heirs of God’s glory. But if we are to share his glory, we must also share his suffering. - Romans 8:15-17
