I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commerce is the cure for the most destructive prejudices. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15797]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commerce is the cure for the most destructive prejudices.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5475]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie gets halfway around the world before the truth has a chance to get its pants on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He would stroke The head of modest and ingenuous youth,  That blushed at its own praise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48932]]></link><description><![CDATA[He would stroke The head of modest and ingenuous youth,  That blushed at its own praise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48932</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is a stink of shit there is a smell of being ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29541]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is a stink of shit there is a smell of being]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are seeing the most intense bargaining among big states that we have seen since the end of the Cold ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35953]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are seeing the most intense bargaining among big states that we have seen since the end of the Cold War, with war in the offing and no certainty about the outcome,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a meathead.

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[I'm not getting any clamoring (for a special session) from constituents or anybody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30782]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm not getting any clamoring (for a special session) from constituents or anybody else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Darryl Gibson has been quite magnificent coming inside Andrew Mehrtens, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the same ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Darryl Gibson has been quite magnificent coming inside Andrew Mehrtens, and I'm looking forward to seeing more of the same today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never give anyone total access to your pockets, your pockets, your purse or your mind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10064]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never give anyone total access to your pockets, your pockets, your purse or your mind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10064</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9132]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is at least one point in the history of any company when you have to change dramatically to rise to the next level of performance.
