But there is a saner sense in which the Bible -- since it is, after all, literature -- cannot properly be read except as literature, and the different parts of it as the different sorts of literature they are. Most emphatically, the Psalms must be read as poems -- as lyrics, with all the licenses and all the formalities, the hyperboles, the emotional rather than logical connections, which are proper to lyric poetry... Otherwise we shall miss what is in them and think we see what is not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole family is packed into one trap. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50509]]></link><description><![CDATA[The whole family is packed into one trap.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50509</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man is mechanically turned, and made for getting. . . .

Paul's count against the Law is that it was impotent through the flesh. Against this impotence Paul sets the ethical competence of the Spirit. "I can do anything in Him who makes me strong," (Phil. 4:13) he exclaims. For his friends in Asia he prays "that God may grant you, according to the wealth of His splendour, to be made strong with power through His Spirit in the inner man, that Christ may dwell in your hearts through your trust in Him." (Eph. 3:16-17) This is the antithesis of the dismal picture presented in Romans 7, and it comes, just as evidently as that, out of experience. Indeed, we may say that the thing above all which distinguished the early Christian community from its environment was the moral competence of its members. In order to maintain this we need not idealize unduly the early Christians. There were sins and scandals at Corinth and Ephesus, but it was impossible to miss the note of genuine power of renewal and recuperation -- the power of the simple person progressively to approximate to his moral ideals in spite of failures. The very fact that the term "Spirit" is used points to a sense of something essentially "supernatural" in such ethical attainments. For the primitive Christians the Spirit was manifested in what they regarded as miraculous. Paul does not whittle away the miraculous sense when he transfers it to the moral sphere. He concentrates attention on the moral miracle as something more wonderful far than any "speaking with tongues." So fully convinced is he of the new and miraculous nature of this moral power that he can regard the Christian as a "new creation." (II Cor. 5:17) This is not the old person at all: it is a "new man," "created in Christ Jesus for good deeds." (Eph. 2:10) (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Working in the theatre has a lot in common with unemployment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/440]]></link><description><![CDATA[Working in the theatre has a lot in common with unemployment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/440</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important things in life aren't things. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24810]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important things in life aren't things.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63764]]></link><description><![CDATA[A God without dominion, providence, and final causes, is nothing else but fate and nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is now incompetent.

Thou, O my Jesus, Thou didst me upon the Cross embrace; For me didst nails and spear endure, and manifold disgrace. Why, then why, O blessed Jesus Christ, should I not love Thee well? Not for the hope of winning heaven, or of escaping hell--  Not with the hope of gaining aught, nor seeking a reward, But as Thyself hast loved me, O ever-loving Lord! E'en then I love Thee and will love, and in Thy praise will sing Solely because Thou art my God and my eternal King.   ... Anonymous Latin Hymn (Edward Caswall, translator)  January 29, 2001   No man desires anything so eagerly as God desires to bring men to the knowledge of Himself. God is always ready, but we are very unready. God is near us, but we are far from Him. God is within, and we are without.
