Its concern is with how Israel ought to think of God. To it, the existence of God is not an open question, nor His nature, nor the accessibility of knowledge of Him. God Himself has taken care of that He has made Himself known to His people, and their business is not to feel after Him if haply they may fumblingly find Him, but to hearken to Him as He declares to them what and who He is.

It is interesting to note that in the first centuries of the Christian era many demoniacal phenomena appeared in countries in the course of being converted from idolatry to Christianity. The same is true of pagan civilisation today. In my research into the fourth century, I was surprised to find a great recrudescence of magical practices at the very moment when Roman civilization under Constantine was about to be snatched away bodily from paganism and enter... into the kingdom of the Son; at that time, all the rites of sorcery took on an incredible virulence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never look a gift horse in the mouth. [Lat., Noli equi dentes inspicere donati.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17443]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never look a gift horse in the mouth. [Lat., Noli equi dentes inspicere donati.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17443</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Within a bony labrinthean cave, Reached by the pulse of the aerial wave,  This sibyl, sweet, and Mystic Sense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Within a bony labrinthean cave, Reached by the pulse of the aerial wave,  This sibyl, sweet, and Mystic Sense is found,   Muse, that presides o'er all the Powers of Sound.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you feel bad about yourselfyou reverse your magnet and repel people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5780]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you feel bad about yourselfyou reverse your magnet and repel people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no human reason why a child should not admire and emulate his teacher's ability to do sums, rather ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25342]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no human reason why a child should not admire and emulate his teacher's ability to do sums, rather than the village bum's ability to whittle sticks and smoke cigarettes.

It can corrupt people who otherwise carry on their daily duties with apparent reasonableness and common sense... It exploits man's urgent desire for all the material good things of life -- health, prosperity, success, "good luck" -- and at times, it may even descend to aggressive acts against one's competitors and supposed enemies and rivals. It rests upon an assumption, not always explicit, that divine power can be manipulated and used for human ends. And it is the more dangerous among people who assume that since God is love, He will do whatever they ask, provided they use the right formula in asking.   Magic mocks God's freedom no less than His purpose. For it binds men more and more in a prison of fear and selfishness. Far from liberating divine power, it shuts out the free and creative forces of love and self-sacrifice that alone ennoble life and remove the alienation of men one from another. Love, not compulsion, casts out fear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6287</guid></item></channel></rss>
