The Transforming Power of GraceHow does an infinite God relate to finite human beings? How does the death of Jesus Christ bring about human salvation? How are Christians able to actively address the world's ills while maintaining their citizenship in the kingdom of God? These are questions the church grapples with today, as it always has. Yet, according to Thomas C. Oden, contemporary theology has neglected the church's traditional answer to these questions: the doctrine of grace.
How does an infinite God relate to finite human beings? How does the death of Jesus Christ bring about human salvation? How are Christians able to actively address the world's ills while maintaining their citizenship in the kingdom of God?
These are questions the church grapples with today, as it always has. Yet, according to Thomas C. Oden, contemporary theology has neglected the church's traditional answer to these questions: the doctrine of grace. All too often modern theologians either ignore the doctrine of grace or relate it to the achievement of a particular political agenda. Oden asserts that only by reclaiming the centrality of grace--defined as God's self-giving through Jesus Christ in personal encounter with the individual human will--can Christian theology be true to the gospel.
In order to reclaim the doctrine of grace, the author reaches back, beyond the fragmentation of theology that took place during and after the Enlightenment. He draws upon the ecumenical consensus held by early Orthodox, Roman Catholic, and Protestant theologians, councils, and creeds regarding this cardinal Christian doctrine. By adducing this ancient unity, Oden challenges modern assumptions concerning the sources and methods of the theological enterprise and calls contemporary Christians to discern what their forebears in the faith knew to be essential to the gospel: that to be a Christian is to be formed, nurtured, and upheld solely by divine grace.

He did say he liked the smell and it’s a good size bottle. Said he don’t have to put a lot of cologne on because this smells so good and he feels really clean.

• Create a signature fragrance for a foaming dispenser
Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Scent: Palo Santo, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
One of the features that I enjoy about liquid soap is its ability to quickly refresh skin. This Palo Santo product is certainly one of the most unique offerings on the market; it is warm and pleasant, albeit a short-lasting fragrance as should be expected of any body wash. While most customers will consider using this product exclusively as a body wash, my preference is to enjoy it throughout the day as a hand and face refreshment.
Use a foaming soap dispenser
This product can be used as a daily hand and facial wash. Now, you might be thinking that this would be pretty inconvenient because the product is contained in a talI bottle with a flip-up top that can be both clumsy to use and takes up counter space. To address these problems, transfer the product into a small, foaming pump, counter top dispenser.
Now I know what you’re thinking; how is this possible? This product has a viscosity similar to syrup. It will never pass through a foaming dispenser. And you would be correct in that critique; so don’t use it straight-up from the Cremo bottle. Instead, dilute the product with water. Since I’ve used this method before with other liquid soap products, I know that it will work consistently by following a few simple steps.
The goal is to make a diluted solution of at least 90% warm water and 10% product, in other words a 9-to-1 dilution. Using a smaller ratio with too much product will likely jam the pumping mechanism because the product is too viscous to transit the foaming mechanism.
How would this be done?
Step 1. Select an empty foaming soap dispenser. The brand is not as important as long as you are able to fill it with water and soap product.
Step 2. Fill the dispenser with warm water to reach about three inches from the top of the bottle.
Step 3. Pour in Palo Santo to raise the water level to about one inch above the existing water line.
Step 4. Cover the top of the dispenser with your palm and gently mix the product and water by rocking the bottle, or stir the product until it mixes with the water. I don’t recommend shaking the bottle. Shaking will result in a lot of soapy lather escaping the container before the pump top is reattached.
Note: When filling the container, leave enough air space at the top of the dispenser for the stem and pump mechanism to be returned to the container. Overfilling just means that some product will escape when recapped.
Step 5. After the top is reattached, prime the pump a few times and the foam mixture should smoothly leave the bottle. Photo One shows the water and Palo Santo mixture. As you can see, the mixture is transparent.
The result is an easy to use hand and face foam wash. This pump spray approach means that the Cremo bottle can be stored away until a refill is needed. This process should work for every clear Cremo product.
Create your signature fragrance
The Palo Santo fragrance is unique, but its colorless appearance in a dispenser is not inviting. The product could use some color to make it more appealing and some zhoosh fragrance from another product. To accomplish this, add an extra body wash product that is both colorful and has a complementary fragrance to the original Palo Santo. All it takes is this addition to Step 3:
Step 3-PLUS. Add about a quarter inch of another liquid soap to the container and mix it as in Step 4. The result is now a colorful mixture with a more expressive fragrance.
Three different combinations
In my first trial, Palo Santo was mixed with sage and cedar wood that added an attractive teal color (see photo 2). In the second trial Palo Santo was mixed with mint and rosemary making a blue combo (see photo 3). The third trial was a mixture of coconut and black pepper creating a purple mixture (see photo 4). Each of these combinations produced a complex blend of fragrances that would appeal to family and friends.
Blend Palo Santo to your personal taste
Palo Santo has a reputation for being a “mature” fragrance. Fair enough. But it does need to be—like Old Spice(y) or Hai Karate. Instead, it can be developed into a more chic and modern choice. By adding a dash of extra ingredients, you can design a blended Palo Santo fragrance that is both more complex and appealing. Certainly, with a little experimentation, you can also create a variety of mixtures that enhance Palo Santo and broaden the spectrum of your daily hand and face wash products. Just start with your favorite Cremo product and zhoosh-it-up.

Screamo for Creamo! Update on Sage and Citrus and Cologne
Scent: Bourbon Oak, Size: 16 Fl Oz (Pack of 2)
So first off the product came exactly as depicted. The smell was good but not strong or offensive. It has a pleasing woodsy smell. The name says it all. The lather is not particularly big but that doesn’t define how clean you get. I think it cleaned me up very well with one caveat. My face is a little oily so I did purchase the Creamo face wash. The body wash really didn’t do the trick for my face which is somewhat oily. The bottle is reminiscent of the past and stylish. It overall is a great product.
I just bought the Sage and Citrus body wash. This is a great all season body wash with a more contemporary smell. It’s lighter than the Bourbon and Oak with, as stated, a citrus smell tempered with the earthy sage. Again it does not clean my oily face but I use the Creamo face wash and it does just fine. The rest of my body feels clean and the scent is light and not overpowering. Between both products I also use the shaving cream.
I enjoy the original scent. I tried the Bourbon scent with the Bourbon and Oak body wash and felt it was a little overpowering. On a good note I combined all this with the Bourbon and Oak cologne. The shaving cream last a long time and should be used sparingly. The value is in the amount you use. It’s far less than a cheaper shaving cream but offers superior protection and excellent moisturizing elements.
The cologne lasts all day and does not require but a single spray under both arms and a single spray on a wrist rubbed against the other. If you need an anti perspirant use one without a scent since this will conflict with the cologne. The value is definitely there as this cologne albeit simple in appearance has very delicate notes reminiscent of my more expensive cologne. I use Creed Vetiver for going out. This cologne has a very similar quality but is, of course, a different bouquet.
Overall the whole line of Creamo products seems to be well thought out and outshines many higher end products such as Clinique or Brickell which I have also used. It comes down to value and quality. That’s where it really wins. It’s made in California where I live!
