This fact ought not to be taken to imply, however, that such an effort is unjustifiable and necessarily useless. The distinctiveness of the Biblical approach is its immediacy. The theistic proofs for God's existence constitute a laborious, painstaking, and patient justification of theism. They attempt to set forth in rational argument what the soul grasps intuitively. But for the Bible, the deepest proof of God's existence is just life itself. The knowledge of God and man's knowledge of himself are closely intertwined. If only God could be written off neatly and cleanly, how simple things would be! But the hound of heaven pads after us all. He does not let us go. There is no escaping him...; when least expected, he closes in. The explanation for this is man's creation in the image of God. His identity is known theologically, in relation to the God who as a man in his true significance cannot survive permanently in isolation from his Maker. Without God, man is the chance product of unthinking fate, and so of little worth. The current loss of identity and the emergence of the faceless man in today's culture are testimony to the effects of losing our God. The knowledge of God is given in the same movement in which we know ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Applause should be an emotional response to the music, rather than a regulated social duty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Applause should be an emotional response to the music, rather than a regulated social duty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We introduced some new products this year, and the response has been tremendous, ...

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[Love won't be tampered with, love won't go away.
