We are already developing a warm and deep affection for you. We are indeed family together. And it is right that we should feel this way towards each other because we are partners in this enterprise together. Last week, we looked at the opening verses of the book of Ephesians. There we discovered all that God had done for us. We have been invited into “The Father’s Grand Story.” That’s what makes us family!

I used to have one; or, should I say, the church used to let me use one that they purchased for me. But I’m cheap. I’m now back with a simple flip-phone. Don’t feel sorry for me. It was an exchange I gladly made....
