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[Place me on Sunium's marbled steep, Where nothing save the waves and I  May hear our mutual murmurs sweep; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58444]]></link><description><![CDATA[Place me on Sunium's marbled steep, Where nothing save the waves and I  May hear our mutual murmurs sweep;   There, swan-like, let me sing and die.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58444</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We'll see small businesses growing around all of this. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42436]]></link><description><![CDATA[We'll see small businesses growing around all of this.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When they can't win in fair fight, they resort to all sorts of sly tricks. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50810]]></link><description><![CDATA[When they can't win in fair fight, they resort to all sorts of sly tricks.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Giles of Provence, Hermit, c.710   The purpose of religion -- at any rate, the Christian religion ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7281]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Giles of Provence, Hermit, c.710   The purpose of religion -- at any rate, the Christian religion -- is not to get you into heaven, but to get heaven into you.   ... Frederick Ward Kates  September 2, 2000 Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   The apostles were moved, not so much by an intellectual apprehension, as by a spiritual illumination. They met men, and the need of those men whom they met cried aloud to them. Their own desire for the revelation of the glory of Jesus in the salvation of men went out towards those whom they met, and was immediately answered by the recognition of the need of those whom they met for Jesus Christ.   ... Roland Allen, Pentecost and the World  ... Also see comments on this book in Bookworms September 3, 2000 Feast of Gregory the Great, Bishop of Rome, Teacher, 604   The task is not, in essence, the securing of uniformity, or cooperation, or Church reunion, or any of the external forms, through which nevertheless the unity may be manifested. Within the wide bounds of the Christian Church there is abundant scope for the multiplicity of races, languages, and social conditions; room also for separate organizations with different traditions of faith and order, and much diversity of operation. But there is no room for strife or hostility, for pride or selfassertion, for exclusiveness or unkind judgments, nor for that kind of independence which leads men to ignore their fellowship with the great company of believers, the communion of saints. These things are contrary to the revealed will of God, and should be made at once to cease. As these disappear, the outward manifestation of unity will come in such ways as the Spirit of God shall guide.   ... G. T. Manley, Christian Unity  September 4, 2000 Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650   If all you have found [in Christianity] is advantage, whether it is fun or profit or security, then you haven't started following Him yet. His way is the way of the Cross. The world can be very hard on those it hates. If it is not hard on you, perhaps it sees nothing in you to hate. But then it doesn't see Jesus in you, for it hates Jesus with an undying hatred. While your way is still all fun, all easy, all jolly, it is only your way: when you turn from it to follow His way, it will cost. It may cost you everything you have. That is what it cost Him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thine eyes are springs in whose serene And silent waters heaven is seen.  Their lashes are the herbs that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14825]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thine eyes are springs in whose serene And silent waters heaven is seen.  Their lashes are the herbs that look   On their young figures in the brook.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14825</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The numbers are just staggering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34589]]></link><description><![CDATA[The numbers are just staggering.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34589</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who believes in freedom of the will has never loved and never hated.rn ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63894]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who believes in freedom of the will has never loved and never hated.rn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich man's sons inherits cares; The bank may break, the factory burn,  A breath may burst his bubble ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61407]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich man's sons inherits cares; The bank may break, the factory burn,  A breath may burst his bubble shares,   And soft, white hands could hardly earn    A living that would serve his turn.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61407</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every burned book enlightens the world. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every burned book enlightens the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60109]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has bothered me all my life that I do not paint like everybody else.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where can I get some tat?
