It is not enough to express formal belief in the "Incarnation" or in the "Divinity of. Christ"; the staggering truth must be accepted afresh -- that in this vast, mysterious universe, of which we are an almost infinitesimal part, the great Mystery, Whom we call God, has visited our planet in Person. It is from this conviction that there springs unconquerable certainty and unquenchable faith and hope. It is not enough to believe theoretically that Jesus was both God and Man; not enough to admire, respect, and even worship Him; it is not even enough to try to follow Him. The reason for the insufficiency of these things is that the modern intelligent mind, which has had its horizons widened in dozens of different ways, has got to be shocked afresh by the audacious central Fact -- that, as a sober matter of history, God became one of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And let him be sure to leave other men their turns to speak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57327]]></link><description><![CDATA[And let him be sure to leave other men their turns to speak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57327</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the truth were known, many sermons are prepared and preached with more regard for the sermon than the souls ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53497]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the truth were known, many sermons are prepared and preached with more regard for the sermon than the souls of the hearers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53497</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  Do those who say, "Lo here, or lo ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Chad, Abbot of Lastingham, Bishop of Lichfield, Missionary, 672  Do those who say, "Lo here, or lo there, are the signs of His coming", think to be too keen for Him, and spy His approach?

If anyone with carefree assurance breaks into this place, he will not succeed in satisfying his curiosity and he will enter a labyrinth from which he can find no exit. For it is not right for man unrestrainedly to search out things that the Lord has willed to be hidden in Himself; nor is it right for him to investigate from eternity that sublime wisdom, which God would have us revere but not understand, in order that through this also He should fill us with wonder. He has set forth by His Word the secrets of His will that He has decided to reveal to us. These He decided to reveal in so far as He foresaw that they would concern and benefit us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54875]]></link><description><![CDATA[Scientists now believe that the primary biological function of breasts is to make males stupid.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27969]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just trust yourself, then you will know how to live.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27969</guid></item></channel></rss>
