1. Dan Cruver, founder of Together for Adoption –
- Adoption: Making Outsiders Insiders - James 1:26-27 (true and false religion). True religion is to bridle our tongues, visit the orphans in their distress and remain unstained by the world. His challenge was not only to care for orphans but also to bridle our tongues and be unstained by the world. The three work together, not in isolation. He warned against the danger of putting on a robe of false religion in caring for orphans.
Freedom(s) of Adoption (our personnel adoption in Christ)
- The Freedom of Legal Rights – adoption secures us in a state of objective blessings, Galatians 4:4-7, Colossians 1:12-13
- The Freedom of Personal Delights – Adoption calls us into a realm of subjective wonder, Ephesians 3:14-19, 1 John 3:1-3, John 14:18, Romans 8:15-17
- The Freedom of a Missional Life- Adoption propels us into the world with sacrificial hope, Romans 8:18-25
- Orphan Care and Jesus, the Great Servant
