Men of the breaking hearts had a quality about them not known to or understood by common men. They habitually spoke with spiritual authority. They had been in the Presence of God and they reported what they saw there. They were prophets, not scribes: for the scribe tells us what he has read, and the prophet tells us what he has seen. The distinction is not an imaginary one. Between the scribe who has read and the prophet who has seen, there is a difference as wide as the sea. We are today overrun with orthodox scribes; but the prophets, where are they? The hard voice of the scribe sounds over evangelicalism, but the Church waits for the tender voice of the saint who has penetrated the veil and has gazed with inward eye upon the Wonder that is God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we think that Jesus did not rise, but "lives" and "reigns" only in his memories and imaginations, and is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6859]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we think that Jesus did not rise, but "lives" and "reigns" only in his memories and imaginations, and is not actively and objectively "there" in the place of power, irrespective of whether he is acknowledged or not, we should give up hope of our own rising, and of Jesus' public return, and admit that the idea of churches and Christians being sustained by the Spirit-giving energy of a living Lord was never more than a pleasing illusion. And, in that case, we ought frankly to affirm that, though the New Testament is an amazing witness to the religious creativity of the human spirit, its actual message is more wrong than right, more misleading than helpful; and we must reconstruct our gospel accordingly. Only a weak, muddled, or cowardly mind will hesitate to do this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The only way actors could breathe on the sound stage was through an air regulator.] You couldn't get out, ... ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29601]]></link><description><![CDATA[[The only way actors could breathe on the sound stage was through an air regulator.] You couldn't get out, ... because the camera crew was literally bolted in.
