Common sense tells us this assumption is wrong -- and nothing in the Bible supports such a conclusion. Believing that God is the Lord of history, we believe that God is at work now in the development of industry and commerce throughout the world, in the experiments and researches of the scientists, in the deliberations of the United Nations, and in the course of events in Berlin and Havana, in Moscow and Peiping, and Detroit. One might say, then that He seems to be doing some very strange and contradictory things! But, though we cannot claim to know God's purpose in all this, we do believe that God acts in all these circumstances. The revolutionary changes of our time are not all a mistake: they are not taking place without God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man seems to be capable of great virtues but not of small virtues; capable of defying his torturer but not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60787]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man seems to be capable of great virtues but not of small virtues; capable of defying his torturer but not of keeping his temper.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60787</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to talk about pride, I'm so proud that Fredericksburg could bring this quality of entertainment to town. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35431]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you want to talk about pride, I'm so proud that Fredericksburg could bring this quality of entertainment to town.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now clothed like a Roman, now like a Greek.
