Try as he may, he can only let his eyes wander distractedly from one to the other. But there is a place at which God and the cosmic reality are reconciled, a place at which God and man have become one. That and that alone is what enables man to set his eyes upon God and the world at the same time. This place does not lie somewhere out beyond reality in the realm of ideas. It lies in the midst of history as a divine miracle. It lies in Jesus Christ, the reconciler of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8596</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All this for a song. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57211]]></link><description><![CDATA[All this for a song.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57211</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60974]]></link><description><![CDATA[A straw vote only shows which way the hot air blows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that trusts in a lie, shall perish in truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49405]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that trusts in a lie, shall perish in truth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For my part, I confess I seldom listen to the players: one has so much to do, in looking about ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/59052]]></link><description><![CDATA[For my part, I confess I seldom listen to the players: one has so much to do, in looking about and finding out one's acquaintance, that, really, one has no time to mind the stage.

And we are ever saying, "That be far from Thee, Lord!" We are careful, in our unbelief, over the divine dignity, of which He is too grand to think. Better pleasing to God ... is the audacity of Job, who, rushing into His presence, and flinging the door of His presence-chamber to the wall, like a troubled -- it may be angry -- but yet faithful child, calls aloud in the ear of Him whose perfect Fatherhood he has yet to learn, "Am I a sea or a whale, that Thou settest a watch over me?"... The devotion of God to His creatures is perfect; He does not think about Himself, but about them; He wants nothing for Himself, but finds His blessedness in the outgoing of blessedness. Ah! it is a terrible -- shall it be a lonely glory, this? We will draw near with our human response, our abandonment of self in the faith of Jesus. He Lives Himself to us -- shall we not give ourselves to Him? Shall we not give ourselves to each other whom He loves?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a bullpen day for some of these guys so we wanted to try get in some work for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32153]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a bullpen day for some of these guys so we wanted to try get in some work for them.
