  • Take 2 Theology - Children of God — A Biblical Theology of Adoption 2 | Adopted by the Father: His Loving Plan and Preparation

    Episode 2.56


    Before the world began, the Father had already decided to make us His own.

    In this week’s episode, Zach and Michael trace the doctrine of adoption back to its eternal source—God’s loving plan “before the foundation of the world” (Ephesians 1:3–6). Adoption is not a divine backup plan but the very heartbeat of redemption.


    The discussion unpacks how the Father chose, predestined, and purposed our adoption in love through Christ—joyfully, not reluctantly. His design was always to create a family of sons and daughters who reflect His holiness and live “to the praise of His glorious grace.”


    Listeners are invited to:

    – Rest in the Father’s plan — chosen before creation.

    – Rejoice in His love — wanted, not pitied.

    – Rely on His faithfulness — secure in His will.

    – Respond in worship — praising the grace that made us His.


    The episode closes by contrasting earthly adoption—beautiful but uncertain—with divine adoption—undeserved yet guaranteed. “The fix is in,” the hosts say: before time began, the Father had already written the ending. Through Christ, we are not merely accepted—we are wanted, chosen, and eternally loved.

  • Revive Our Hearts - Christ, the Exegesis of God
    Jackie Hill Perry asks, “Do you remember when you were blind? When the Word of God was preached to you and it didn’t move you?” Until God gives us sight, we can’t behold Him. This episode is all about God as the divine initiator of our salvation.

  • Be Still and Know Daily Bible Devotion - November 13th - Romans 12:2

    Romans 12:2

    Don’t copy the behaviour and customs of this world, but let God transform you into a new person by changing the way you think. Then you will learn to know God’s will for you, which is good and pleasing and perfect.

    Every day, our thinking is being shaped by our society. Most of the time, we are totally unaware that this is happening, but there is no way that we can avoid being influenced by the expectations and standards of the people around us, by the information and views that we receive through the media and by ingenious and attractive advertising. We won’t swallow all of it whole, but we cannot be immune from those many powerful influences. As J B Phillips put it in his famous Bible translation, we need to resist the world’s attempts to squeeze us “into its own mould”.
    The apostle Paul said we need God to transform us by changing the way we think. This is incredibly radical, but without it we will continue to be the same as we have always been. When Jesus met Nicodemus, a respected Jewish rabbi, he told him that he had to be born again. This sounded like nonsense to Nicodemus, who couldn’t understand how he could possibly enter his mother’s womb for a second time. Jesus had to explain that the new birth that he was talking about was a new spiritual birth, which would lead to a new spiritual life. The only way for our lives to be transformed is by allowing the Holy Spirit to shape our thinking. It will never happen by our own efforts and reflections.
    The outcome of this transformative process is that we will know what God’s will is, and that must be the ultimate goal for all of us. Every day, we need God’s guidance to ensure that we are living our lives to the full amid all the challenges, difficulties and opportunities of life. Giving in to the world’s pressures will only end in disaster. Day by day, we need to let God remould our minds from within.

    Question

    In what particular ways has God transformed your thinking recently?

    Prayer

    Loving Father, thank you that your Holy Spirit is constantly at work in my life, helping me to think in ways that will glorify you. Amen

  • The Holy Post - 695: Analyzing the Blue Wave & Why the Church Still Matters with Carmen Joy Imes

    The Democratic Party swept the off-cycle elections last week, but this isn't the first blue wave we've seen in the Trump era. Phil, Skye, and Kaitlyn discuss what it means and the significance of New York City electing a Muslim, democratic socialist as mayor. Does Mamdani represent the death of New York, and possibly America, as one Baptist leader claims? Old Testament scholar Carmen Imes is back to discuss why she hasn't given up on the church, and we shouldn't either. Her new book is "Becoming God's Family: Why the Church Still Matters." Also this week—how social media is making Christianity dumber and what to do about it.
