Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now let us thank th' eternal power, convinc'd That Heaven but tries our virtue by affliction:  That oft the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1657]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now let us thank th' eternal power, convinc'd That Heaven but tries our virtue by affliction:  That oft the cloud which wraps the present hour,   Serves but to brighten our future days!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1657</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, no matter how many lifetimes you live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5455]]></link><description><![CDATA[In a universe of ambiguity, this kind of certainty comes only once, no matter how many lifetimes you live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ: The day of resurrection! ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6821]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of John Mason Neale, Priest, Poet, 1866 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ: The day of resurrection! Earth, tell it out abroad; The passover of gladness,  The passover of God. From death to life eternal, From this world to the sky, Our Christ hath brought us over With hymns of victory. Our hearts be pure from evil, That we may see aright The Lord in rays eternal Of resurrection light, And, list'ning to His accents, May hear, so calm and plain His own "All hail!" and, hearing, May raise the victor strain. Now let the heav'ns be joyful, Let earth her song begin, Let the round world keep triumph And all that is therein; Invisible and visible, Their notes let all things blend; For Christ the Lord has risen -- Our Joy that has no end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fancy light from Fancy caught. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15293]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fancy light from Fancy caught.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15293</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64931]]></link><description><![CDATA[We love to expect, and when expectation is either disappointed or gratified, we want to be again expecting.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64931</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45009]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who never alters his opinion is like standing water, and breeds reptiles of the mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soda fountain will be open all evening long. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33526]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soda fountain will be open all evening long.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How is it that so often . . .

To break the basic laws of justice and decency is sin indeed. Man's freedom to honor principles is the moral dimension in his nature, and sin often appears as lawlessness. But sin has its root in something which is more than the will to break the law. The core of sin is our making ourselves the center of life, rather than accepting the holy God as the center. Lack of trust, self-love, pride, these are three ways in which Christians have expressed the real meaning of sin. But what sin does is to make the struggle with evil meaningless. When we refuse to hold our freedom in trust and reverence for God's will, there is nothing which can make the risk of life worth the pain of it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6513</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The apprehension of approaching evil has hurried many into the utmost danger. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50593]]></link><description><![CDATA[The apprehension of approaching evil has hurried many into the utmost danger.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Blood is thicker than water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Blood is thicker than water.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I can do it By aught that I can speak in his dispraise,  She shall not long continue ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56557]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I can do it By aught that I can speak in his dispraise,  She shall not long continue love to him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you first meet him you often find him to be annoying, and you have to control yourself not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33647]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you first meet him you often find him to be annoying, and you have to control yourself not to say anything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33647</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm really exciting.
