Any attempts to hide behind the excuse that it is too difficult, when what we mean is that its word is too hard for us to bear, meets the just remark of a pastor from Communist Germany: "How can they say that the Bible is difficult, when young Communists are poring over much more difficult and much more technical literature to discover what Communism is all about?" Sometimes the Biblical teaching is crystal-clear, but we dare not understand it. The Christian Church has a vested interest in its present forms, and Christian people, like others, have their pleasant prejudices. This unwillingness to hear some new thing, except in times of great disturbance, plays a bigger part in weakening the voice of God through the Bible than we are prepared to admit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7447</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17661]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prayer is when you talk to God; meditation is when you listen to God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17661</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who knows whether the gods will add tomorrow to the present hour? [Lat., Quis scit, an adjiciant hodiernae crastina summae ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60018]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who knows whether the gods will add tomorrow to the present hour? [Lat., Quis scit, an adjiciant hodiernae crastina summae  Tempora di superi?]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60018</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coughing in the theater is not a respiratory ailment.
