We modern pagans have to choose between that divine order, and the grey, dead, irresponsible, chaotic universe of atheism. And the tragedy is that we may make that choice without knowing it -- not by clear conviction but by vague drifting, by losing interest in Him. A nominal deist will say: "Yes, of course there must be some sort of Force that created the galaxy. But it's childish to imagine that It has any personal relation to me!" In that belief atheism exists as an undiagnosed disease. The man who says, "One God," and does not care, is an atheist in his heart. The man who speaks of God and will not recognize him in the burning bush -- that man is an atheist, though he speak with the tongues of men or angels, and appear in his pew every Sunday, and make large contributions to the church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7849</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That man scorches with his brightness, who overpowers inferior capacities, yet he shall be revered when dead. [Lat., Urit enim ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18261]]></link><description><![CDATA[That man scorches with his brightness, who overpowers inferior capacities, yet he shall be revered when dead. [Lat., Urit enim fulgore suo qui praegravat artes  Intra se positas; extinctus amabitur idem.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men marry women with the hope they will never change.

Such a faith is thought to be dangerous to spiritual health because it breeds a habit of complacent inertia. In particular, it is thought to paralyse evangelism by robbing one both of the motive to evangelize and of the message to evangelize with. The supposition seems to be that you cannot evangelize effectively unless you are prepared to pretend while you are doing it, that the doctrine of divine sovereignty is not true. I shall try to make it evident that this is nonsense. I shall try to show further that, so far from inhibiting evangelism, faith in the sovereignty of God's government and grace is the only thing that can sustain it, for it is the only thing that can give us the resilience that we need if we are to evangelize boldly and persistently, and not be daunted by temporary setbacks. So far from being weakened by this faith, therefore, evangelism will inevitably be weak and lack staying power without it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61547]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wickedness is a myth invented by good people to account for the curious attraction of others.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61547</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This work is a promising step, and supports the need to study multiple stem cell types for the possibility of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28551]]></link><description><![CDATA[This work is a promising step, and supports the need to study multiple stem cell types for the possibility of treating human neurological injury and disease.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28551</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a fantastic piece.
