But, the key issue is whether the adjustment to a more sustainable trend is gradual. The good news is that this is what appears to be happening in Central and Atlantic Canada.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32208</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65464]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is better to be hated for what you are than to be loved for what you are not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our priority is the prosperity of Iraq and unity, without which there won't be security nor prosperity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29775]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our priority is the prosperity of Iraq and unity, without which there won't be security nor prosperity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/29775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Reprove not a scorner, lest he hate thee: rebuke a wise man, and he will love thee.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deliberation is the work of many men.

Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item></channel></rss>
