Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jonathan Edwards - he has his faith, his health, his wife and his children, but more importantly, he has his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30599]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jonathan Edwards - he has his faith, his health, his wife and his children, but more importantly, he has his Olympic gold medal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30599</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell-- Then shriek'd the timid, and stood still the brave,--  Then ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Then rose from sea to sky the wild farewell-- Then shriek'd the timid, and stood still the brave,--  Then some leap'd overboard with fearful yell,   As eager to anticipate their grave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have on out hands a sick man,--a very sick man.

A higher price represents an opportunity that leads inventors and businesspeople to seek new ways to satisfy the shortages. Some fail, at cost to themselves. A few succeed, and the final result is that we end up better off than if the original shortage problems had never arisen. That is, we need our problems, though this does not imply that we should purposely create additional problems for ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15736</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62042]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man hath joy by the answer of his mouth: and a word spoken in due season, how good is it!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62042</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you lose the entire front four, and they were all drafted by the NFL, it's easy to say you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29872]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you lose the entire front four, and they were all drafted by the NFL, it's easy to say you won't be any good, ...

Nothing else will meet my case. There is something genuinely at stake in every man's life, the climax whereof is death. Dying is inevitable, but arriving at the destination God offers to me is not inevitable. It is not impossible to go out of the way and fail to arrive. Christian doctrine has always urged that life eternal is something which may conceivably be missed. It is possible to neglect this great salvation and to lose it eternally, even though no man may say that anything is impossible with God or that his grace may ultimately be defeated. I know it is no longer fashionable to talk about Hell, one good reason for this being that to make religion into a prudential insurance policy is to degrade it. The Faith is not a fire-escape.
