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[Construction goes on. the court hasn't revoked or modified any permit, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37779]]></link><description><![CDATA[Construction goes on. the court hasn't revoked or modified any permit,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where hast thou wandered. gentle gale, to find The perfumes thou dost bring? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61635]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where hast thou wandered. gentle gale, to find The perfumes thou dost bring?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Chris looked pretty good, I thought, in two playoff games.

God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't undo anything you've already done, but you can face up to it.
