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[I was thinking there was somebody there to help me, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41442]]></link><description><![CDATA[I was thinking there was somebody there to help me,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  After all, we are told, our salvation has already been accomplished ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8581]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Alban, first Martyr of Britain, c.209  After all, we are told, our salvation has already been accomplished by the grace of God... It was unkind to speak to men like this, for such a cheap offer could only leave them bewildered and tempt them from the way to which they had been called by Christ. Having laid hold on cheap grace, they were barred forever from the knowledge of costly grace. Deceived and weakened, men felt that they were strong now that they were in possession of this cheap grace -- whereas they had in fact lost the power to live the life of discipleship and obedience. The word of cheap grace has been the ruin of more Christians than any commandment of works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Had doting Priam checked his son's desire, Troy had been bright with fame, and not with fire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Had doting Priam checked his son's desire, Troy had been bright with fame, and not with fire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am pleased this judge concluded that Merck made a wrong move by trying to run from justice in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35983]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am pleased this judge concluded that Merck made a wrong move by trying to run from justice in a Texas state court,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57363]]></link><description><![CDATA[Speak clearly, if you speak at all; carve every word before you let it fall.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57363</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd be proud to say it in a chat room, to the Wall Street Journal , on the cover of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31392]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd be proud to say it in a chat room, to the Wall Street Journal , on the cover of your magazine, that hey, these are abusive users, and we have to do something about it.

God Himself cannot make a creature to be in itself, or in its own nature, anything else but a state of emptiness. The highest life that is natural and creaturely can go no higher than this: it can only be a bare capacity for goodness and cannot possibly be a good and happy life but by the life of God dwelling in it and in union with it. And this is the two-fold life that, of all necessity, must be united in every good and happy and perfect creature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7251</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flowers are restful to look at.
