If Abraham's migration can no longer be explained as part of a larger Amorite migratory stream from east to west, it should be noted that what has fallen by the wayside is a scholarly hypothesis, not the Biblical text. Genesis itself presents the movement from Haran to Canaan as an individual, unique act undertaken in response to a divine call -- an event, not an incident -- that inaugurates a new and decisive stage in God's plan of history. The factuality or otherwise of this Biblical evaluation lies beyond the scope of scholarly research.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6735</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would be a very foolish person who made any kind of judgement from how he answered tabloid questions at ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33184]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would be a very foolish person who made any kind of judgement from how he answered tabloid questions at a press conference,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33184</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  In the whole range of history there is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday  Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  In the whole range of history there is no more striking contrast than that of the Apostolic churches with the heathenism around them. They had shortcomings enough, it is true, and divisions and scandals not a few, for even apostolic times were no golden age of purity and primitive simplicity. Yet we can see that their fullness of life, and hope, and promise for the future, were a new sort of power in the world. Within their own limits they had solved almost by the way the social problem which baffled Rome, and baffles Europe still. They had lifted woman to her rightful place, restored the dignity of labour, abolished beggary, and drawn the sting of slavery. The secret of the revolution is that the selfishness of race and class were forgotten in the Supper of the Lord, and a new basis for society found in love of the visible image of God in men for whom Christ died.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6624</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forewards. -Soren Kierkegaard. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1884]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life can only be understood backwards, but it must be lived forewards. -Soren Kierkegaard.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36447]]></link><description><![CDATA[For purposes of action nothing is more useful than narrowness of thought combined with energy of will]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[After a long product portfolio transition, we forecast that Bristol-Myers could return to a period of sustained high teens earnings ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31186]]></link><description><![CDATA[After a long product portfolio transition, we forecast that Bristol-Myers could return to a period of sustained high teens earnings per share growth in 2007-2010.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31186</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The level of detail in this report shows the importance we lay to our project's impact on the community.

We also are not worrying about immortality, hardly believe in it, or at least are not sure; we, too, have limited ourselves to this dust-speck of time, leaving unclaimed the vast inheritance beyond of which Christ told us; we, too, are putting all our zeal and passion and enthusiasm into things of this earth here, quite sure that that is the only road to progress, and that this everlasting chatter about the soul is quite beside the point. And they are all so earnest and so certain, work so hard, are animated often by such lofty motives, are so sure that there is really no manner of need for Christ: that given this, and this, and this, each of them pushing forward his particular panacea -- the world will manage very well; that to talk about Christ, and changing people's hearts, and making us new creatures, is merely to lose precious time and wander from the practical into vague day-dreaming of which nothing comes. And year by year their voices grow a little harder, and they eye Christ more and more askance, feel sourly that He is a bit of a nuisance and a stumbling-block to progress, keeping people quiet who should not be quiet, lulling them with these dim, immaterial, fantastic, spiritual hopes of His which they think have no body, and can not have. Once more the whisper grows, "Were He not far better away?" Meantime we can ignore Him, they say; and they do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a time for all things -- except marriage my dear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2107]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a time for all things -- except marriage my dear.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A lie that is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51686]]></link><description><![CDATA[A lie that is half a truth is ever the blackest of lies.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51686</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5837]]></link><description><![CDATA[For how great is his goodness, and how great is his beauty! corn shall make the young men cheerful, and new wine the maids.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5837</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tree not taller than an ant cannot shade you. - Kanuri proverb, Nigeria ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28502]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tree not taller than an ant cannot shade you. - Kanuri proverb, Nigeria]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Concluding a short series on prayer:  He that seeks God in everything is sure to find God in everything. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7148]]></link><description><![CDATA[Concluding a short series on prayer:  He that seeks God in everything is sure to find God in everything. When we thus live wholly unto God, God is wholly ours and we are then happy in all the happiness of God; for by uniting with Him in heart, and will, and spirit, we are united to all that He is and has in Himself. This is the purity and perfection of life that we pray for in the Lord's Prayer, that God's kingdom may come and His will be done in us, as it is in Heaven. And this we may be sure is not only necessary, but attainable by us, or our Saviour would not have made it a part of our daily prayer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man Proposeth, God disposeth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man Proposeth, God disposeth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beginning a series on the person of Jesus:  I read the words and ponder them, but most of all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7502]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beginning a series on the person of Jesus:  I read the words and ponder them, but most of all I look at Jesus and try to understand His life, when I want to know the fullest truth regarding God. And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence.
