The Call Of The Father (Genesis 1:27)

November 12, 2018 Nate Holdridge

Buck the dog, in Jack London’s classic *The Call Of The Wild*, had grown up in lazy and sunny Northern California. He had lived what many would call the good life, roaming Judge Miller's spacious property in the Santa Clara Valley. But since Buck was a beast of an animal, a strong and fine specimen, one day he was stolen, sold, and shipped to Alaska. There, he worked as a sled dog delivering mail and, eventually, searching for gold.

And when our groups gather, part of their time together is spent in discussion about the previous Sunday’s text and teaching. (6 Minutes / 1300 Words)
