Quote of the Week: Brister on Baptist Identity

“To advocate the recovery of idea of being Baptist before the idea of being distinctively Christian is putting the cart of ecclesiology before the horse of soteriology.”

Timmy Brister on Adoption

I just came across this on Timmy Brister’s blog regarding the upcoming 2008 Together for Adoption Conference.

“One of the greatest ways to live counter-culturally in our day of rugged individualism where personal ambition and careers eclipse the call to embrace children is the practical application of the doctrine of adoption.  If our spiritual adoption is the highest privilege the gospel offers, then a gospel-driven response would be to offer the highest privilege to children with the same love our heavenly Father has bestowed upon us.”
