W.A. Criswell once said, Jesus said on the cross “It is finished.”
(Luke 19:30) What that means is that salvation is “Something outside of
myself. Something with which I had nothing to do. I add nothing to it. I take
nothing away. I just receive it as a gift from my Lord. And the rest of my

SUBTLETY OF PRIDE
Paul W. Powell once observed: “Pride is so subtle that if we aren’t careful we’ll be proud of our humility. When this happens our goodness becomes badness. Our virtues become vices. We can easily become like the Sunday School teacher who, having told the story of the Pharisee and

The devil is not impersonal like stones or bureaucracies; he is a non-person. The Devil has become all that God is not; he is not beyond personality—he is without it. His purpose in creation is not to destroy God; he knows that he cannot do that. He wants to draw us into the vortex of

The most memorable 4th of July celebration for me happened at Fort Devens, Massachusetts in 1986. The fireworks are usually excellent at any military base for the 4th of July, but that is not what I remember.
The cannons shooting at the playing of the 1812 Overture was impressive, but not the most
