When the devil has been unmasked a number of times, his final refuge seems to be the harmless looking word but. Students of the teaching of Jesus Christ who would not be deceived by any of the familiar devices, constantly surrender their principles, and therefore their demonstration, to the little word but.
“Of course I know that God is the only power—but—.”
“Of course I know that God is omnipresent—but—.”
“Of course I know that God is love—but—.”
“Of course I know that there is no hurry because I am in eternity—but—.”
“Of course I know that John or Mary must be the living expression of God, just as I am—but—.”
If truth is true, there are no buts.
And they all with one consent began to make excuse (Luke 14:18).
