After his father left them when Stephen was two, he and his older brother, David, were raised by his mother. Stephen Edwin King was born the second son of Donald and Nellie Ruth Pillsbury King. ![]() ![]() ![]() I invite you to ponder the following three ways of speaking about our works in relationship to our salvation. There are other aspects of it that are not “apart from works” but are, in fact, dependent upon (though not merited by) works. Justification is one aspect of salvation. It secures the removal of God’s wrath so that his Spirit flows freely in a union where works are possible and necessary.Īnd salvation is a larger reality than justification. ![]() Justification does have a relationship with works. This is a glorious truth, and our life hangs on it.īut if we carelessly speak of justification as having no relationship to works, or if we generalize about salvation being apart from works of the law, we lead people away from the Scriptures. I take that to mean that anything we bring to Christ other than faith has no part in the ground (Christ) or the instrument (faith) of our justification. ![]() If you take any one of them and treat it as the whole picture, you will almost surely lead people astray.įor example, Paul rejoices that we are “justified by faith apart from works of the law” ( Romans 3:28). ![]() The biblical texts relating to this issue are many and diverse, but not contradictory. This is notably true of the way our works (including our attitudes and words and behavior) relate to our salvation. One effect of close attention to Scripture is that sweeping generalizations become problematic. ![]() ![]() There are secrets buried deep in Sophie's memory, secrets that other people desperately want.

Dutch and English promoters of the new philosophy had preceded Smith by giving Opticks a text-book treatment, and they too integrated experimental and mechanistic inferences. ![]() The Compleat System was not isolated in its refashioning of Newton’s optics. In this process, the optical parts of Principia were integrated, thus blending the experimental inferences and mechanistic hypotheses that Newton had carefully separated. By rearranging the findings and conclusions of Opticks, it made them accessible to a wider public and at the same time refashioned Newton’s optics into a renewed science of optics. Robert Smith’s A Compleat System of Opticks (1738) was the most prominent eighteenth-century text-book account of Newton’s optics. ![]() ![]() ![]() I appreciate the fact that this was the end story, due to the potential for various spin-offs or just continuing this title forever. The way in which the story ends is also rather interesting and it could be said that it really does around full circle. The characters were believable and grew on you. Invincible was a good idea that kept readers interested by the various plot twists. ![]() In fact, in the end notes, Kirkman thought it would get cancelled by Issue #13. Sounds like a premise that wouldn't last long. ![]() An entertaining soap opera about a superhero family and the various adventures they go through. Let me tell you considering where it started the end run of the series was pretty interesting. They did not and that was rather cool.Ĭompendium Three covers the end of the story. ![]() I was afraid this cash cow would prove too much of a lure to Kirkman and company to resist making Invincible comics ad infinitum ad nauseam. I appreciate the fact that Kirkman closes the circle and finishes the story. It had a little overlap with Vol 9, covering Issues 99-108, but then it rounded out the story nicely covering all the way to volume 144. But after Nine volumes, I decided to finish the series with this Compendium instead. I had read "Invincible" in the Ultimate Edition format. ![]() ![]() ![]() “OLSEN WRITES RAPID-FIRE PAGE-TURNERS.” ― The Seattle Times “WICKEDLY CLEVER!
