This is extremely difficult for us, because Jesus was careful to give men no external guarantee that he was, in fact, God in the flesh. Otherwise, he realized, we would not be worshipping him, but would only be worshipping or trusting in the guarantee, whatever it might be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There were a lot of players expecting a special dividend -- myself included -- and that is a bit of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38449]]></link><description><![CDATA[There were a lot of players expecting a special dividend -- myself included -- and that is a bit of a disappointment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/38449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The women's movement hit my neighborhood like a freight train.

Nor can any nation survive, or re-establish lasting peace, if it rests on those foundations on which contemporary nations have been built, our own included. What are those crumbling foundations? Conceit, self-will, denial of discipline, self-expressionism, secularism, this worldliness, greed, entrenched privilege, defiance of God's desire. On base absurdities have we built. Have we now moral courage to face our common sin, or are we content to trust in one form of armed wickedness to overcome the evils of another form of the same mad folly? Merely by smashing our enemies we shall not remake the world. By Beelzebub no devils are cast out...
