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[The definition of a beautiful woman is one who loves me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2199]]></link><description><![CDATA[The definition of a beautiful woman is one who loves me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/2199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Autobiography is probably the most respectable form of lying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Autobiography is probably the most respectable form of lying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Way down upon de Swanee Ribber, Far, far away,  Dere's whar ma heart am turning ebber,   Dere's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58442]]></link><description><![CDATA[Way down upon de Swanee Ribber, Far, far away,  Dere's whar ma heart am turning ebber,   Dere's whar de old folks stay.    All up and down de whole creation,     Sadly I roam,      Still longing for de old plantation,       And for de old folks at home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58442</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skills are cheap; chemistry is expensive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21956]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skills are cheap; chemistry is expensive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44801]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man who observes vigilantly and resolves steadfastly grows unconsciously into genius.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44801</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there was no faith there would be no living in this world.

If we are whimpering, and sniveling, and begging to be spared the discipline of life that is sent to knock some smatterings of manhood into us, the answer to that prayer may never come at all. Thank God! Though, indeed, it is not easy to say that, with honesty. Still, it may never come at all, thank God. But if you have attained as far as Epictetus--pagan though you would call him--whose daily prayer was this: "O God, give me what Thou desirest for me, for I know that what Thou choosest for me is far better than I could choose"; if you are not bleating to get off, but asking to be given grace and strength to see this through with honour, "the very day" you pray that prayer, the answer always comes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7518</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most conservative persons I ever met are college undergraduates.
