One does not find the optative forms of polite petition so characteristic of elaborate requests made to earthly and heavenly potentates. Rather than employing such august forms, the Christians made their requests to God in what seem to be blunt imperatives. This does not mean that Christians lacked respect for their heavenly father, but it does mean that they were consistent with a new understanding of Him. In the tens of thousands of papyri fragments which have been rescued from the rubbish heaps of the ancient Greek world, one finds the imperative forms used constantly between members of a family. When the Christians addressed God as "Father," it was perfectly natural therefore for them to talk to Him as intimately as they would to their own father. Unfortunately, the history of our own English language has almost reversed this process. Originally, men used "thou" and "thee" in prayer because it was the appropriate familiar form of address; but now these words have become relegated to prayer alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing we tell our client countries is to have clear institutional arrangements in place for having rapid response and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41510]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing we tell our client countries is to have clear institutional arrangements in place for having rapid response and effective coordination,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The critical scholar is not committed, within the area of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6249]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The critical scholar is not committed, within the area of his research, to accepting the Church's presuppositions about Jesus, but he should not be committed to accepting naturalistic presuppositions either. If he does accept the latter, then the results of his research will in all probability contradict the beliefs of the Church, but this is because he has begged the question from the start. In examining, for instance, the evidence for the virginal conception [of Jesus], if he begins with the presupposition that such an event is impossible he will end with the same conclusion; if he begins with the presupposition that it is possible he may end with the conclusion that the evidence for it is good or that it is bad or that it is inconclusive. This is as far as scholarship can take him. The Christian will accept the virginal conception as part of the Church's faith. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6249</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We always try to be positive with the kids.

May the pain you have known and the conflict you have experienced give you the strength to walk through life facing each new situation with courage and optimism. Always know that there are those whose love and understanding will always be there, even when you feel most alone. May you discover enough goodness in others to believe in a world of peace. May a kind word, a reassuring touch, and a warm smile be yours every day of your life, and may you give these gifts as well as receive them. Remember the sunshine when the storm seems unending. Teach love to those who hate, and let that love embrace you as you go out into the world. May the teachings of those you admire become part of you, so that you may call upon them. Remember, those whose lives you have touched and whose have touched yours are always a part of you, even if the encounters were less than you would have wished. It is the content of the encounter that is more important than the form. May you not become too concerned with material matters, but instead place immeasurable value on the goodness in your heart. Find time each day to see beauty and love in the world around you. Realize that each person has limitless abilities, but each of us is different in our own way. What you feel you lack in the present may become one of your strengths in the future. May you see your future as one filled with promise and possibility. Learn to view everything as a worthwhile experience. May you find enough inner strength to determine your own worth by yourself, and not be dependent on another's judgment of your accomplishments. May you always feel loved. -Unknown.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you so love the truth and the right that you welcome, or at least submit willingly to, the idea ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8066]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do you so love the truth and the right that you welcome, or at least submit willingly to, the idea of an exposure of what in you is yet unknown to yourself -- an exposure that may redound to the glory of the truth by making you ashamed and humbled?... Are you willing to be made glad that you were wrong when you thought others were wrong?... We may trust God with our past as heartily as with our future. It will not hurt us so long as we do not try to hide things, so long as we are ready to bow our heads in hearty shame where it is fit that we should be ashamed. For to be ashamed is a holy and blessed thing. Shame is a thing to shame only those who want to appear, not those who want to be. Shame is to shame those who want to pass their examination, not those who would get into the heart of things... To be humbly ashamed is to be plunged in the cleansing bath of truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417  We of the churches often gather our robes away from contamination, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Juliana of Norwich, Mystic, Teacher, c.1417  We of the churches often gather our robes away from contamination, and thank God that we are not as other men. We don't despise God's name; in fact, we call upon it constantly to justify ourselves... If we object to meat-eating, we declare that God is vegetarian; if we abhor war, we proclaim a pacifist Deity. He who turned water into wine to gladden a wedding it now accused by many of favouring that abominable fluid grape juice. There can hardly be a more evil way of taking God's name in vain than this way of presuming to speak in it. For here is spiritual pride, the ultimate sin, in action -- the sin of believing in one's own righteousness. The true prophet says humbly, "To me, a sinful man, God spoke." But the scribes and Pharisees declare, "When we speak, God agrees." They feel no need of a special revelation, for they are always, in their own view, infallible. It is this self-righteousness of the pious that most breeds atheism, by inspiring all decent, ordinary men with loathing of the enormous lie.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21273]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prosperity depends more on wanting what you have than having what you want.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A quotation at the right moment is like bread to the famished. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52874]]></link><description><![CDATA[A quotation at the right moment is like bread to the famished.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hospitals are only an intermediate stage of civilization. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19888]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hospitals are only an intermediate stage of civilization.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19888</guid></item></channel></rss>
