And this often in all sincerity. But, at other times, we are not really much disturbed about it; or, at least, not nearly so much as our heaped-up language would imply. What we imagine that we are achieving through this unreality I do not know. We shall not fool the All-wise; nor induce Him to believe that we are anything other, or better, than we actually are! Were it not saner to tell Him the truth, exactly as it is -- not that we are overwhelmed with sorrow for our sinfulness, if it is not so; but rather this, that, to all our other sinfulness, we have added this last and crowning sinfulness, that we are not much worried about it, or, at least, not nearly as much as we ought to be. Be pleased, in pity, to grant us such measure of sorrow for our failures as will lead us to a true repentance; and, through that, to a new way of life.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8001</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were identified as being a danger to Greenway users. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40583]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were identified as being a danger to Greenway users.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[And now that he's graduated to hardcover and 11-city book tour status, he's found there's a real advantage to the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/37559]]></link><description><![CDATA[[And now that he's graduated to hardcover and 11-city book tour status, he's found there's a real advantage to the standalone novels that Dutton suggested he write.] You can explore broader themes in a standalone novel, ...

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18708]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness will never come to those who fail to appreciate what they already have.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18708</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[ZEAL, n.
