When I find that so much of my life has stolen unprofitably away, and that I can descry by retrospection scarcely a few single days properly and vigorously employed, why do I yet try to resolve again? I try, because reformation is necessary and despair is criminal.

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[Officially there are 166 dead, and another 125 missing and presumed dead, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31028]]></link><description><![CDATA[Officially there are 166 dead, and another 125 missing and presumed dead,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31028</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To offend and judge are distinct offices, And of opposed natures. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23518]]></link><description><![CDATA[To offend and judge are distinct offices, And of opposed natures.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The president's $1.6 trillion plan should be a floor, not a ceiling. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33670]]></link><description><![CDATA[The president's $1.6 trillion plan should be a floor, not a ceiling.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33670</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They that approve a private opinion, call it opinion; but they that dislike it, heresy; and yet heresy signifies no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19206]]></link><description><![CDATA[They that approve a private opinion, call it opinion; but they that dislike it, heresy; and yet heresy signifies no more than private opinion]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19206</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Riches, the incentives to evil, are dug out of the earth. [Lat., Effodiuntur opes irritamenta malorum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Riches, the incentives to evil, are dug out of the earth. [Lat., Effodiuntur opes irritamenta malorum.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sympathy is a virtue unknown in nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sympathy is a virtue unknown in nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Having been unpopular in high school is not just cause for book publications. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Having been unpopular in high school is not just cause for book publications.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4683</guid></item></channel></rss>
