This fact ought not to be taken to imply, however, that such an effort is unjustifiable and necessarily useless. The distinctiveness of the Biblical approach is its immediacy. The theistic proofs for God's existence constitute a laborious, painstaking, and patient justification of theism. They attempt to set forth in rational argument what the soul grasps intuitively. But for the Bible, the deepest proof of God's existence is just life itself. The knowledge of God and man's knowledge of himself are closely intertwined. If only God could be written off neatly and cleanly, how simple things would be! But the hound of heaven pads after us all. He does not let us go. There is no escaping him...; when least expected, he closes in. The explanation for this is man's creation in the image of God. His identity is known theologically, in relation to the God who as a man in his true significance cannot survive permanently in isolation from his Maker. Without God, man is the chance product of unthinking fate, and so of little worth. The current loss of identity and the emergence of the faceless man in today's culture are testimony to the effects of losing our God. The knowledge of God is given in the same movement in which we know ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41190]]></link><description><![CDATA[A child is a beam of sunlight from the Infinite and Eternal, with possibilities of virtue and vice- but as yet unstained.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A mere madness, to live like a wretch, and die rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42737]]></link><description><![CDATA[A mere madness, to live like a wretch, and die rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth  It is the custom of unbelievers to speak as if the air of Palestine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth  It is the custom of unbelievers to speak as if the air of Palestine were then surcharged with belief in the supernatural, miracles were everywhere. Thus they would explain away the significance of the popular belief that our Lord wrought signs and wonders. But in so doing they set themselves a worse problem than they evade. If miracles were so very common, it would be as easy to believe that Jesus wrought them as that He worked at His father's bench, but also it would be as inconclusive.  And how then are we to explain the astonishment which all the evangelists so constantly record? On any conceivable theory, these writers shared the beliefs of that age, and so did the readers who accepted their assurance that all were amazed, and that His report "went out straightway everywhere into all the region of Galilee." These are emphatic words, and both the author and his readers must have considered a miracle to be more surprising than modern critics believe they did. Yet we do not read of any one was converted by this miracle. All were amazed, but wonder is not self-surrender. They were content to let their excitement die out -- as every violent emotion must -- without any change of life, any permanent devotion to the new Teacher and His doctrine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7063</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can't be a crisis next week.
