Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love he may ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/306]]></link><description><![CDATA[By accident of fortune a man may rule the world for a time, but by virtue of love he may rule the world forever]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/306</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794]]></link><description><![CDATA[I come, I come! ye have called me long, I come o'er the mountain with light and song:  Ye may trace my step o'er the wakening earth,   By the winds which tell of the violet's birth,    By the primrose-stars in the shadowy grass,     By the green leaves, opening as I pass.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53575]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am an agnostic; I do not pretend to know what many ignorant men are sure of.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53575</guid></item></channel></rss>
