This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel  (Who had no doubt some noble ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56195]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, I have suffered With those that I saw suffer! a brave vessel  (Who had no doubt some noble creature in her)   Dashed all to pieces!

The day and the spirit of Christmas rearrange the world parade. As the world arranges it, usually there come first in importance -- leading the parade with a big blare of a band -- the Big Shots. Frequently they are also the Stuffed Shirts. That's the first of the parade. Then at the tail end, as of little importance, trudge the weary, the poor, the lame, the halt, and the blind. But in the Christmas spirit, the procession is turned around. Those at the tail end are put first in the arrangement of the Child of Christmas.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think all the boys that write the screaming stuff would write the best love songs.... because they have the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56439]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think all the boys that write the screaming stuff would write the best love songs.... because they have the most to hide.

The discoveries of modern physical and biological science, of astronomy, and of psychology, have profoundly influenced his conception of the "size" of God. If there be a Mind behind the immense complexities of the phenomena that man can observe, then it is that of a Being tremendous in His power and wisdom: it is emphatically not that of a little god. It is perfectly conceivable that such a Being has a moral purpose which is being worked out on the stage of this small planet. It is even possible to believe that such a God deliberately reduced Himself to the stature of humanity in order to visit the earth in Person, as all Christians affirm.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a great belief in the fact that whenever there is chaos, it creates wonderful thinking.
