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[Follow the Romany Patteran Sheer to the Austral light,  Where the bosom of God is the wild west wind, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59628]]></link><description><![CDATA[Follow the Romany Patteran Sheer to the Austral light,  Where the bosom of God is the wild west wind,   Sweeping the sea floors white.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13725]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not because the truth is too difficult to see that we make mistakes... we make mistakes because the easiest and most comfortable course for us is to seek insight where it accords with our emotions - especially selfish ones.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're certainly a lot deeper.
