Are you familiar with a caricature? You know, a caricature is a picture of a person that's distorted. It takes some feature of that person and distorts it to where you can still kind of tell, well, that's the person, but they don't really look like that. It's some kind of comic distortion or some kind of grotesque distortion. And people do that a lot of times with sidewalk vendors.

Something where you take one of God's attributes and you blow it up to the detriment of the others. So, the Bible says Jesus is full of grace and truth. Well, the devil wants to blow up the truth and minimize the grace - to create some kind of a distortion that you have in your mind about God. Now, A.W. Tozer, the ...
