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[I never asked you to earn me.

I want only that you should need me. Your path is not one of merit. Bring the recurring desires of your mind to me, every time they emerge. They cannot shock me, for I willed them!

The truth of a friend is not known while he is receiving favours and benefits from us; but if he remain faithful to us when we treat him with coldness and neglect, it will be a proof of the sincerity of his attachment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling toimprove themselves; they therefore remain bound. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22710]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are anxious to improve their circumstances, but are unwilling toimprove themselves; they therefore remain bound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best ideas come as jokes.

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two lousy choices is no better than seven lousy choices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two lousy choices is no better than seven lousy choices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872   Infant Baptism... has been a witness for the Son of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7012]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872   Infant Baptism... has been a witness for the Son of Man and the universality of His Kingdom, like no other.

The best way to get great ideas is to get lots of ideas and throw the bad ones away. 2. Create ideas that are 15 minutes ahead of their time...not light years ahead. 3. Always look for a second right answer. 4. If at first you don't succeed, take a break. 5. Write down your ideas before you forget them. 6. If everyone says you are wrong, you're one step ahead. If everyone laughs at you, you're two steps ahead. 7. The answer to your problem "pre-exists." You need to ask the right question to reveal the answer. 8. When you ask a dumb question, you get a smart answer. 9. Never solve a problem from its original perspective. 10. Visualize your problem as solved before solving it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learn the fundamentals of the game at your leisure and stick with them.

The Colloquies of Erasmus  February 13, 1999  Faith is the source of energy in the struggle of life, but life still remains a battle which is continually renewed upon ever-new fronts. For every threatening abyss that is closed, another yawning gulf appears. The truth is -- and this is the conclusion of the whole matter -- the Kingdom of God is within us. But we must let our light shine before men in confident and untiring labor that they may see our good works and praise our Father in Heaven. The final ends of all humanity are hidden within His hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our frustration is greater when we have much and want more than when we have nothing and want some.
