| 0:00.0 | We are God's children. |
| 0:03.3 | Romans 816. |
| 0:07.7 | Welcome to this daily encouragement from our daily bread. |
| 0:11.8 | The family of God was written by Kenneth Peterson and read by Wes Ward. |
| 0:25.3 | Romans chapter 8 verses 9 through 17 You however are not in the realm of the flesh but are in the realm of the spirit |
| 0:32.4 | if indeed the spirit of God lives in you and if anyone does not have the spirit of Christ, |
| 0:39.8 | they do not belong to Christ. But if Christ is in you, then even though your body is subject to death |
| 0:47.6 | because of sin, the spirit gives life because of righteousness. And if the spirit of Him who raised Jesus from the dead |

| 1:57.3 | if indeed we share in His sufferings in order that we may also share in his glory. |
| 2:06.6 | The Family of God, written by Kenneth Peterson. |
| 2:11.4 | It was 1863. Edwin stood on a railroad platform in Jersey City. He watched as a young man was forced by crowds |
| 2:21.5 | against a train car. The man dangerously fell into the crevice between the train and the platform. |
| 2:28.2 | The train started to move. Edwin reached down and, at the last minute, pulled the man to safety. |
| 2:35.2 | The saved man was Robert Todd Lincoln, son of President Abraham Lincoln. |
