Here's Dr. Russell Moore.

The family of God is not determined by the flesh, it's determined by the spirit.

It's determined by the promise.

You have to understand who you are now in Christ.

Everything has changed for you, and it didn't change for you because of who you are by birth.

It changed for you because of the adopting power of God through the Holy Spirit.

This is the Revive Our Hearts podcast for Monday, April 18th, 2016.

Thank you. 18, 2016. According to God's Word, when you were adopted into God's family, it changed your entire identity. You're now a child of the king. Throughout scripture, we see the value that God places on adoption.

Dr. Russell Moore has a personal life message about adoption. He and his wife Maria are adoptive

parents, and this has given him unique insights into what it means for us to be adopted into God's

family. Dr. Moore is the president of the

Ethics and Religious Liberty Commission for the Southern Baptist. He's also an author. He's

written an important new book called Onward. It's about engaging the culture without losing the gospel.

And he's written a book called Adopted for Life, the priority of adoption for Christian

families and churches. We'll hear from Dr. Moore on this important topic of adoption today.

And before we begin, let me remind you that Russell Moore will be joining us for True Woman 16,

September 22nd through 24th in Indianapolis. He'll be speaking along with Mary Cassian,

Janet Partial, Stephen Kendrick, producer of the movie War Room, and others. Now, we're anticipating

that the seating will sell out quickly, and the discounted price for early registration ends May 2nd.

So I hope you'll get all the details at revive our hearts.com.

And make plans to join us for True Woman 16 on September 22nd through 24th.

Thanks, Nancy.
