Blindside
Watch the video of Steven Curtis Chapman sharing on the inspirational new movie, The Blind Side. The film is based on the incredible true story of Michael Oher, a teenager whose life is changed by adoption as he finds himself in a family that truly believes in him for the first time. Watching this story unfold on the silver screen with friends and family is a great way to enter into conversation about the miracle of adoption. The Blind Side released on November 20 to acclaim from audiences across the country.

A Great Quote
This is a very small part of an interview that you can find on: http://chrisitianallianceblog.org/
Jedd Medefind: So, last question–personal one: Any advice for a fellow adoptive dad?
Russell Moore: Say “I love you” repeatedly, and don’t forget to discipline. And always think of the adoption as past-tense. Also don’t think you have to answer intrusive questions from onlookers in a way that’ll make your son or daughter feel strange or distant from the rest of the family. They’ve been “brought near” and are “no longer strangers” (Eph.2)
Dr. Moore is the Dean of the School of Theology and Senior Vice-President for Academic Administration at The Southern Baptist Theological Seminary.

The Theology of Adoption
With the desire to expose believers to the Scriptural mandate to care for orphans, help them understand why God has issued that call, and give them the ability to discern how God would have them joyfully respond to His call we host an Adoption Bible Study twice a year in our church.
As we look at God and the orphan we cover the following topics: The uniqueness of Christian orphan care, theology of the disenfranchised, the glorious grace of God in adoption, and six truths regarding our adoption by from the book of Romans. In Part 2: God's People and the Orphan we delve into orphans and the gospel, orphans and missions, and lastly hard issues to confront regarding how to be involved in orphan care.
Our desire is to present clearly the Lord's heart for the orphan and to encourage the church to think about how the Lord would have them be involved with orphan care.
We began our fall study this past Sunday evening as part of our Sunday Night Electives. It is not too late to join us! You do not have to attend our church to attend, anyone is welcome.
The study is from October 4 - November 8. Time 6:00pm - 7:15pm
Place: Bethany Baptist Church, 7229 N. Knoxville Ave., Peoria, IL 61614
