Its concern is with how Israel ought to think of God. To it, the existence of God is not an open question, nor His nature, nor the accessibility of knowledge of Him. God Himself has taken care of that He has made Himself known to His people, and their business is not to feel after Him if haply they may fumblingly find Him, but to hearken to Him as He declares to them what and who He is.

Sacrifice was then the only sufficient means of remaining in harmonious relation to God. No Hebrew dared neglect this obligation. It was adequate for the period in which God intended it should serve. This is not the same as saying, however, that Levitical sacrifice was on an equal with the sacrifice of Christ, nor that the blood of bulls and goats could, from God's side, take away sins; but it is recognizing the reality of the divine institution of Mosaic worship, and looking, as too often Old Testament interpreters fail to do, at sacrifice and priestly ritual from the viewpoint of the Hebrew in the Old Testament dispensation. Sacrifice, to the pious Hebrew, was not something insignificant, nor simply a perfunctory ritual, but it was an important element in his moral obedience to the revealed will of God. Sacrifice was by its very nature, which involved faith and repentance on the part of the worshiper and the putting to death of his substitute victim; intensely personal, ethical, moral, and spiritual, because it was intended to reflect the attitude of the heart and will toward God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8428</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all the griefs that harass the distress'd, Sure the most bitter is a scornful jest;  Fate never wounds ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23233]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all the griefs that harass the distress'd, Sure the most bitter is a scornful jest;  Fate never wounds more deep the generous heart,   Than when a blockhead's insult points the dart.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23233</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child!  Land of brown heath and shaggy wood,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54894]]></link><description><![CDATA[O Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child!  Land of brown heath and shaggy wood,   Land of the mountain and the flood,    Land of my sires! what mortal hand     Can e'er untie the filial band,      That knits me to thy rugged strand!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54894</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a good, good man, very involved in the lives of his two teenage daughters, ...

If our practical life is centered on our own interests, cluttered up by possessions, distracted by ambitions, passions, wants and worries, beset by a sense of our own rights and importance, or anxieties for our own future, or longings for our own success, we need not expect that our spiritual life will be a contrast to all this. The soul's house is not built on such a convenient plan; there are few soundproof partitions in it. Only when the conviction -- not merely the idea -- that the demand of the Spirit, however inconvenient, rules the whole of it, will those objectionable noises die down which have a way of penetrating into the nicely furnished little oratory and drowning all the quieter voices by their din.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No man acquires property without acquiring with it a little arithmetic also. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48430]]></link><description><![CDATA[No man acquires property without acquiring with it a little arithmetic also.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is very meaningful to me that they are seen by anybody who wants to see them, because that would ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41569]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is very meaningful to me that they are seen by anybody who wants to see them, because that would have been the wish of my aunt.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41569</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are always flowers for those who want to see them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60831]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are always flowers for those who want to see them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/60831</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Who spits against heaven, it falls in his face. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50106]]></link><description><![CDATA[Who spits against heaven, it falls in his face.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As much valour is to be found in feasting as in fighting, and some of our city captains and carpet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15588]]></link><description><![CDATA[As much valour is to be found in feasting as in fighting, and some of our city captains and carpet knights will make this good, and prove it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15588</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And o'er the hills and far away, Beyond their utmost purple rim,  Beyond the night, across the day,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43318]]></link><description><![CDATA[And o'er the hills and far away, Beyond their utmost purple rim,  Beyond the night, across the day,   Thro' all the world she followed him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Method is the very hinge of business, and there is no method without punctuality ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Method is the very hinge of business, and there is no method without punctuality]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52528</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The present century was growing blind To the great Marlborough's skill in giving knocks,  Until his late life by ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48765]]></link><description><![CDATA[The present century was growing blind To the great Marlborough's skill in giving knocks,  Until his late life by Archdeacon Coxe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48765</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love is blind,but marriage is an eye opener. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63344]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love is blind,but marriage is an eye opener.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63344</guid></item></channel></rss>
