Last Sunday afternoon we were blessed to have the three Beyond Today presenters in Cleveland to provide a message of hope and encouragement for a dying world. One of the main points the presenters brought out was that God is in control of world events and He is literally building a spiritual family. Today, I would like to go to the scriptures and discuss what it means to become part of God's family today. Why should you desire to become a child of God? When you do, how does God look at you? What is His opinion and attitude toward you? Love bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
