It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is big news.

Was there really an ordained ministry as early as that? We need not argue about whether, or how, St. Paul was ordained, but he certainly considered that he and his fellow workers had a special pastoral relation to their converts.... St. Paul was primarily a missionary, which in itself establishes a link with the Servant of the Lord. As a missionary, he was not working on his own, but was supported by a group of assistants without whose help he could never have carried on his work. We know the names of many of them... But there were many more whose names we do not know, sometimes referred to as "the brethren" (e.g., in I Cor. 16:11). This missionary group with St. Paul as its leader is the New Testament equivalent of the ordained ministry of today, and it is significant for us that St. Paul describes this group as carrying out in some sense the work of servants in the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14148]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only an error in judgment to make a mistake, but it shows infirmity of character to adhere to it when discovered]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14148</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24974]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let us so live that when we come to die even the undertaker will be sorry.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24974</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wedding is just like a funeral except that you get to smell your own flowers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16267]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wedding is just like a funeral except that you get to smell your own flowers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16267</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By Jove the stranger and the poor are sent, And what to those we give, to Jove is lent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46463]]></link><description><![CDATA[By Jove the stranger and the poor are sent, And what to those we give, to Jove is lent.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The itch of disputing is the scab of the Church. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49880]]></link><description><![CDATA[The itch of disputing is the scab of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was an important meeting.
