So he automatically writes off any Biblical account of a wondrous happening which suggests that there is an order of reality transcending the observable regularities of nature and occasionally breaking in upon them. Nor is rational skepticism content with jettisoning the Bible's miracle stories. It also dismisses other passages on the grounds that they reflect the ignorance and prejudice of a particular age, or the propaganda interests of the Church at a particular stage of its development. Its basic rule of Biblical interpretation is: "When in doubt, throw it out." And the highest scores in the game of radical reductionism are awarded to pedagogues who find the most novel and far-fetched reasons for doubting that any part of the Bible really means what it says.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, another is busy making mistakes and becoming superior. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20799]]></link><description><![CDATA[While one person hesitates because he feels inferior, another is busy making mistakes and becoming superior.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20799</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of the times. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19710]]></link><description><![CDATA[These were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of the times.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think everybody knows, at least everybody who is on the bubble, so to speak.

There is an apparent contradiction here, for how can we abide, and yet advance? It is a paradox, like much else in scripture; but Christian experience proves it true. Those make the best progress in religion who hold fast by the faith once for all delivered to the saints, and not those who drift away from their moorings, rudderless upon a sea of doubt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community.

We think of His earthly life as moving on a plane so different from ours that no parallel can be drawn between them. What we forget is, that He too needed to walk by faith, needed to be filled with the Holy Spirit, needed the sympathy of loving friends, needed the strengthening that is gained by private prayer. His strong and beautiful, serene and holy life so fills the eye that we lose sight of His secret intercourse with the Father, out of which came all its beauty, all its power.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The favor of princes does not preclude the existence of merit, and yet does not prove that it exists. [Fr., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27384]]></link><description><![CDATA[The favor of princes does not preclude the existence of merit, and yet does not prove that it exists. [Fr., La faveur des princes n'exclut pas le merite, et ne le suppose pas aussi.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm fairly confident that if I died tomorrow, Don would find a way to preserve me until the season was ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57564]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm fairly confident that if I died tomorrow, Don would find a way to preserve me until the season was over and he had time for a nice funeral. (on the career dedication of her husband, the Miami Dolphins' coach)]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is still a pretty benign report overall and broadly in line with Bank of England expectations contained in the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36609]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is still a pretty benign report overall and broadly in line with Bank of England expectations contained in the February Inflation Report.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I didn't graduate from any of them (Colleges) and look at me now mom! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30237]]></link><description><![CDATA[I didn't graduate from any of them (Colleges) and look at me now mom!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30237</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Heart presence is about having more of your real self show up in each moment.

It's about being mentally, emotionally, and physically present in the heart. We often put so much energy and focus on how we "present" ourselves - the way we appear, what we wear,what we say, what car we drive.
