My father was a writer. He wrote all of his life, inflicting upon many of us his novels, plays, articles, essays, and self-help books. Some were marvelous; some merely well-intentioned. But of all the things he wrote, his journal is his legacy: by turns wise and bewildering, it neared 1,100 type-written pages when he died in 2010. Although perused many times, this is the first time it will be read - cover to cover, page after page.

An Asset-Based View of Salvation
If salvation is not yet accomplished, there is no assurance that it will be. Time and energy then must be spent in staying ahead of damnation. If, instead, we can say salvation is present, that we are saved, then the fear it might not be is unnecessary and we can focus on growth rather than threats of decline. We can look ahead instead of wonder what may be closing in.
