Adoption for the glory of God
Posted on 03/15/2011 by Rich Shipe
Adoption is such an incredible picture of the gospel. It is hard to come up with an aspect of adoption that is not an illustration of what our heavenly father has done for us. But in each regard the magnitude is so much greater with the gospel. If you are a child of God, watch this Third Day video and think about what God has done for you.
Also consider how you might get involved with the church’s orphans and adoption ministry, Reflection Ministries.

Redemption and Josh Hamilton
Posted on 10/12/2010 by Rich Shipe
Update 2 (October 2010): And they just made the World Series! Pretty cool that his teammates deferred to him and celebrated with ginger ale instead of spraying alcohol.
Update: I’m reposting this article I wrote a couple of years ago about Josh Hamilton because the Rangers just made it to the American League Championship Series in Major League Baseball. Last year he publicly fell again, not as far as he had in the past, but it just showed how powerful the flesh can be and how it is an ongoing battle for him… and for all of us. Plus I’ve included a new video testimony at the bottom.
Josh Hamilton, a professional baseball player for the Texas Rangers, is an amazing testimony of God’s power to redeem and change a life. You might have heard about Josh Hamilton recently because he put on an impressive show last week at the Home Run Derby, breaking the record by hitting 28 home runs in one round. You can watch all the impressive home runs by Josh Hamilton at MLB’s website here. He even hit three more than 500 feet! In addition to the Derby performance, Hamilton currently leads the Majors in RBIs.
Hamilton’s amazing performance is made all the more impressive when you find out that not too long ago, he was deep within the dark pit of drug addiction. He says that his last drug use was October 6, 2005.
