This transfigures history and experience. This puts past and present into the timeless, eternal now. This brings together God and man until Wesley talks with God as a man talks with his friend. This gives to the hymnbook its divine audacity, those passages only to be understood by such as have sat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and, being caught up into paradise, have heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You were constantly, Matho, a guest at my villa at Tivoli.

Not always; sometimes He, Who knoweth best, in kindness leadeth me In weary ways, where heavy shadows be. And "by still waters" ? No, not always so; Ofttimes the heavy tempests round me blow, And o'er my soul the waves and billows go. But when the storm beats loudest, and I cry Aloud for help, the Master standeth by, And whispers to my soul, "Lo, it is I." So, where He leads me, I can safely go, And in the blest hereafter I shall know Why, in His wisdom, He hath led me so.  ... Anonymous    July 24, 1998  Commemoration of Thomas à Kempis, priest, spiritual writer, 1471  If thou shalt remain faithful and zealous in labour, doubt not that God shall be faithful and bountiful in rewarding thee.

Theology is less and less about God and God's world, and more and more a department of ancient history, absorbed in minute details of historical and literary criticism.

Such an encounter with the historical Jesus is, of course, not the same as Christian faith in him. Even Caiaphas, Herod, and Pontius Pilate encountered him in this way. Christian faith is still a matter of decision -- either this Man is God's redemptive act, or he is not. Nor is the historical Jesus the object of our faith. That object is the Risen Christ preached by the Church. But the Risen Christ is in continuity with the historical Jesus, and it is the historical Jesus which makes the Risen Christ not just an abstraction, but clothes him with flesh and blood.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64635]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only limit to your impact is your imagination and commitment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64635</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like giving a pair of laced ruffles to a man that has never a shirt on his back. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17431]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like giving a pair of laced ruffles to a man that has never a shirt on his back.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and governments. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20321]]></link><description><![CDATA[Idleness and pride tax with a heavier hand than kings and governments.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20321</guid></item></channel></rss>
