We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not a revolt, it is a revolution. [Fr., Ce n'est pas une revolte, c'est une revolution.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54136]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not a revolt, it is a revolution. [Fr., Ce n'est pas une revolte, c'est une revolution.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54136</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not the distance of the earth from the sun, nor the sun's withdrawing itself, that makes a dark ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8057]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not the distance of the earth from the sun, nor the sun's withdrawing itself, that makes a dark and gloomy day; but the interposition of clouds and vaporous exhalations.

Jesus said, What the masters in Israel teach, what the Pharisees and the Scribes teach, is perfectly correct. There was no dogma which was the cause of controversy between Jesus and the nation; there was no new custom that Jesus introduced: He went into the Temple every day, He observed the ordinances and festivals of Israel. What was the subject of dispute and controversy between Jesus and the Jews? It was no doctrine, it was no innovation, it was Jesus Himself whom they rejected. There was an antipathy in them to the person of Jesus: it was the Lord Himself whom they hated, because they hated the Father... But Jesus knew... that it was because He was one with the Father, because He was the express image of His being, because He was the perfect manifestation of the character of God, that they hated Him; and therefore Jesus was pained, not because they hated Him, but because they hated in Him the Father.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are the nectar, the hummingbird, the clover. You are the bloom, thebee, the OerHoverer. You are the child, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43180]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are the nectar, the hummingbird, the clover. You are the bloom, thebee, the OerHoverer. You are the child, the bond and the mother. Youare the Love, the Beloved, the Lover.(to our mother).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can observe a lot just by watching. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44778]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can observe a lot just by watching.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44778</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57200]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had wanted to say that my song was far too painful to sing.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57200</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a delightful thing is the conversation of specialists!
