Rom 8:15 For ye have not received the spirit of bondage again to fear; but ye have received the Spirit of adoption, whereby we cry, Abba, Father.

What is this “Abba Cry” that we & the creation “scream” ? According to Russ Moore

“Horrifyingly beautiful . . .a yell of desperation. It is the full throated desperate recognition of horror. It is the sound that a toddler would make as his face is being torn off by a pit bull. — ‘Daddy !’ “

Last weekend we went to the Together for Adoption Conference in Franklin, TN.

Russ Moore gave the last sermon — “Adoption and the Renewal of Creation” and it was utterly amazing. I thought I was going to jump out of my seat & shout or lay down on the floor weeping several times. I cannot recommend it highly enough. Every person who loves Jesus should hear this sermon, whether you have any interest in adoption & orphan care or not. I assure you that IF you download & listen to the first five minutes, you won’t be able to turn it off
