Welcome back to another look into the life and message of Elizabeth Aliens, as she

called us to live to a higher standard each day, not satisfied with a little religion when

we can have a relationship with God.

Our thoughts today focus on purpose and recklessness, as the podcast series continues in the coming

weeks we'll hear from family, friends, and others who were influenced by Elizabeth's

life and message.

Today we continue our extended series on Operation Alka and other events during Elizabeth's

time in Ecuador.

As we normally do, we have two Gateway to Joy broadcasts to include in this podcast,

and we'll also hear the actual voice of Jim Aliett, as he has a brief prayer, from

a message on the resurrection.

Also Bob Schuster, archivist at Wheaton College, will join us.

First though, it's Gateway to Joy 97, the purpose of God.

What did Nate and Pete write about the possibility of dying in their efforts to reach the Alkas?

Time to hear about that.

This is your friend, Elizabeth Aliett, talking with you this time about the purpose of God.

We've been talking about five-twentieth century disciples in whose lives more readily

perhaps than in our own.

We've been able to trace a certain destiny, a certain divine pattern.

In Romans 8.28 it says, everything that happens fits into a pattern for good, to them that

love God, to them who are called according to his purpose, and his purposes that we should

be conformed to the image of his son.
