Were they awe-stricken by creation? They beheld it confessing Christ as Lord. Did their minds tend to regard men as gods? The uniqueness of the Savior's works marked Him, alone of men, as Son of God. Were they drawn to evil spirits? They saw them driven out by the Lord, and learned that the Word of God alone was God and that the evil spirits were not gods at all. Were they inclined to hero-worship and the cult of the dead? Then the fact that the Savior had risen from the dead showed them how false these other deities were, and that the Word of the Father is the one true Lord, the Lord even of death. For this reason was He both born and manifested as Man, for this He died and rose, in order that, eclipsing by His works all other human deeds, He might recall man from all the paths of error to know the Father. As He says Himself, "I came to seek and to save that which was lost.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8189</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52079]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men, it has been well said, think in herds; it will be seen that they go mad in herds, while they only recover their senses slowly, and one by one.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52079</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that negotiates between God and man, As God's ambassador, the grand concerns  Of judgment and of mercy, should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48077]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that negotiates between God and man, As God's ambassador, the grand concerns  Of judgment and of mercy, should beware   Of lightness in his speech.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What people say behind your back is your standing in the community. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17922]]></link><description><![CDATA[What people say behind your back is your standing in the community.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The three great elements of modern civilization, Gunpowder, Printing, and the Protestant Religion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8837]]></link><description><![CDATA[The three great elements of modern civilization, Gunpowder, Printing, and the Protestant Religion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10468]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you define cowardice as running away at the first sign of danger, screaming and tripping and begging for mercy, then yes, Mr. Brave man, I guess I'm a coward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10468</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As regards rap music, I believe that the "c" is silent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20138]]></link><description><![CDATA[As regards rap music, I believe that the "c" is silent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The lake has gotten a little better.
