As the New Testament uses the word, faith is trust, acceptance, commitment, vision. It is not a belief in this or that creed, it is a quality which lies rather in the realm of intuition than the intellect.

Anonymous December 16, 1996  But lo' the snare is broke, the captive's freed,  By faith on all the hostile powers we tread, And crush through Jesus' strength the Serpent's head.

One in His hand, O may we still remain,  Fast bound with love's indissoluble chain;  (That adamant which time and death defies, That golden chain which draws us to the skies!)

The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman's beauty is not a gift to man - only a bribe ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17423]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman's beauty is not a gift to man - only a bribe]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most people are alive in an earlier time, but you must be alive in our own time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1269]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most people are alive in an earlier time, but you must be alive in our own time.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is a cynic?
