And now I bear it and it is light unto me, because so hast Thou promised, and hast made it; and verily it was so, and I knew it not, when I feared to take it.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    October 10, 1999  Feast of Paulinus, Bishop of York, Missionary, 644  Wilberforce, Lord Shaftesbury, and many other evangelicals, have been leaders in social reform, but it was not their religion. Their efforts succeeded because they put first things first, and believed firmly in the Word of God, in the conversion of the individual, in prayer, and in using spiritual means for spiritual work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7260</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dream of reason produces monsters.

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[Now it's time to expand beyond the operational people. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37563]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now it's time to expand beyond the operational people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37563</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sort of dependence that results from exchange, i.e., from commercial transactions, is a reciprocal dependence.

They can't, He said, or they could not live as they are doing. Some of them are so anxious and worried, with all God's care and strength and love to lean against! They cannot know of it, and be so fidgety and nervous as they are. Some of them are afraid. Their consciences have drawn so grim a picture of Him that fearfully they shrink out of His presence, wish there were not God! Frightened of God, with His free and full and eager forgiveness, with His incredible generosity, with His compassionate heart that nobody can sour into illwill, do what he may. And even the best of them are not quite sure. Their faith at most is but a timorous hope, and a trembling perhaps; no more. Often in the Synagogue He had watched them sobbing out their penitential psalms and begging God to turn from anger and be gracious toward them... And it amazed Christ. Look at His sun, He cries, how it streams down in all its midday fullness on the most unworthy, and at the rain, how it falls healingly upon the fields of the least grateful, and how He keeps thrusting His benefits and blessings into the most soiled hands, loading the most impossible people with His kindnesses. If only I could make them see God as He really is: if only they could realize that He is their Father, that what their own child is to them, that, and far more, each of them is to Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7475</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63056]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of romantic love is not the company of a lover but the pursuit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We call on him to represent and respect his constituents, not further his own ego, as he is by remaining ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36538]]></link><description><![CDATA[We call on him to represent and respect his constituents, not further his own ego, as he is by remaining totally out of touch in the Big Brother house.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36538</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who grasps an opportunity as it is paraded before him, nine times out of ten makes a success, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45053]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who grasps an opportunity as it is paraded before him, nine times out of ten makes a success, but the man who makes his own opportunities is, barring an accident, a sure-fire success]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45053</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The devil can cite Scripture for his purpose. -The Merchant of Venice.
