How human is the God of the Old Testament -- the God who appears, speaks, guides, who loves and is loved, even as the Man of the New Testament, Christ Jesus, is divine! This difference between the idea of an absolute and infinite God and the God of Scripture is, after all, that which separates the true believer and Christian from the natural man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7160</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heresies are experiments in man's unsatisfied search for truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19212]]></link><description><![CDATA[Heresies are experiments in man's unsatisfied search for truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Power won by crime no one ever yet turned to a good purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51668]]></link><description><![CDATA[Power won by crime no one ever yet turned to a good purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Laywers, I suppose, were children once. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47267]]></link><description><![CDATA[Laywers, I suppose, were children once.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For 200 years we've been conquering nature.

The Sheep and the Goat complained of his distressing cries, saying, He often handles us, and we do not cry out. To this the Pig replied, Your handling and mine are very different things.

But, in addition, God affects us by determining that in the universe certain causes shall bring about certain effects. Cause and effect is, therefore, the operation of God through normal channels rather than through special channels. We have our normal way of acting when we drive a car. We can more or less put it in "automatic pilot" while we carry on a conversation, but when an emergency arises, we take conscious personal control. I have a hunch that God has something for which this automatic pilot will serve as an illustration. That is, His routine way of operating is cause and effect, and He is in control of it, so that when cause and effect affects us, then God is affecting us. That is what the Apostle Paul means in Galatians when he says, "Do not kid yourself -- God is not blind. What you do, you will get paid for." The causes which we have set in operation by our own personal choices will inevitably bring about certain results. But God is involved because God makes cause and effect to work.
