Scripture Alive!
Posted by Rebecca Teti in Reviews on Tuesday, November 16, 2010
I’m incredibly excited about something I heard on the radio just now.
I was on my way home from the office and tuned in just in time for a beautifully produced audio version of Christ’s mercy towards the woman caught in adultery.

This was the New Testament reading from Evening Prayer last night:
See what love the Father has bestowed on us in letting us be called children of God!

Dearly beloved,
we are God’s children now;
what we shall later be has not yet come to light.
We know that when it comes to light
we shall be like... READ MORE
