Pastors Conference 2012 « Together for Adoption: Southern Seminary, Hope for Orphans, and Together for Adoption believe that nothing can mobilize churches to carry out the practice of true religion (“visit orphans and widows in their affliction” – James 1:27) like a robust understanding of our adoption through Christ. Scripture’s story of adoption is the story of God visiting us in our affliction (Romans 8:3-4, 18-23) in order to deliver us from it.
We visit orphans and widows in their affliction because God first visited us in ours. If any group of people should be passionate about visiting orphans in their affliction, it should be the children of God. There is no other group of people that should be more easily mobilized to care for orphans. Period. Visiting orphans in their distress mirrors what God has done for us in ours.
