To this it must be said that, for the mature Christian, every Scripture reading will be "too long", even the shortest one, [for] the Scripture is a whole, and every word, every sentence, possesses such multiple relationships with the whole that it is impossible always to keep the whole in view when listening to details. It becomes apparent, therefore, that the whole of Scripture, and hence every passage in it as well, far surpasses our understanding. It is good for us to be daily reminded of this fact.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people wave their dogmatic thinking until their own reason is entangled. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54180]]></link><description><![CDATA[Some people wave their dogmatic thinking until their own reason is entangled.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware of men on airplanes.

We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/212]]></link><description><![CDATA[From the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/212</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The project continues to work for us and for the developer as the pieces come together, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36889]]></link><description><![CDATA[The project continues to work for us and for the developer as the pieces come together,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36889</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Alias is, perhaps typically, a puzzle this year, ...
