PCRT Report

As typical, the messages of this year's PCRT have provided inspiring and convicting insight of the theme, which this year is Adoption. David Wells opened the conference last night from 1 John 2:28-3:3 on the wondrous love shown to us through God adopting us. This morning, Steve Lawson took us through Galatians 4:1-7 and the implications of moving from the state of slave to adoption as sons of an inheritance. Joel Beeke followed with John 1:12-13, examining how, unlike human adoption, ours include the similarity of being born into the family so that we become like our Father. I am about to go back into the sanctuary and listen to Rick Philips speak on Family Privileges.

You will hear David Wells tomorrow in the morning services when he concludes the series with All in the Family. All of the messages are being recorded and can be ordered through the Alliance of Confessing Evangelicals.

The new worship site is First Baptist Church on the corner of 17th and Sansom.
