Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no way to peace, peace is the way. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45853]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no way to peace, peace is the way.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are rewarding a teacher poorly if you remain always a pupil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2309]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are rewarding a teacher poorly if you remain always a pupil.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2309</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh my God, you guys, I seriously do not have a speech prepared whatsoever.

Neither trouble your heads though you have not commentaries and exposition. Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men. Also, what is from men is uncertain, and is often lost and tumbled over by men; but what is from God is fixed as a nail in a sure place. There is nothing that so abides with us as what we receive from God; and the reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from men's mouths, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things. Things we receive at God's hands come to us as truths from the minting house, though old in themselves, yet new to us. Old truths are always new to us if they come with the smell of Heaven upon them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739  Whoso goes seeking God and seeking aught ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8396]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739  Whoso goes seeking God and seeking aught with God does not find God; but he who seeks God by himself in truth does not find God alone: all God affords he finds, as well as God.
