To call a Christian a theist is roughly equivalent to calling the space shuttle Atlantis a glider.

God just doesn't throw a life preserver to a drowning person. He goes to the bottom of the sea, and pulls a corpse from the bottom of the sea, takes him up on the bank, breathes into him the breath of life and makes him alive.

The clearest sensation that a human being has when he experiences the holy is an overpowering and overwhelming sense of creatureliness.

Image
We are not doomed to an ultimate conflict with no hope of resolution. The message of the Scripture is one of victory - full, final and ultimate victory. It is not our doom that is certain, but Satan's. His head has been crushed by the heel of Christ, who is the Alpha and Omega.
