The issue is complex, both philosophically and theologically; but surely it is inappropriate to blame God for a problem He did not initiate, and [that is] in fact, one which He has sought to alleviate, at great cost to Himself. God sent His Son to inaugurate the Kingdom and to "destroy him who has the power of death, that is, the devil" (Heb. 2:14). God is not the cause of suffering and sickness; He is its cure! Jesus' ministry and death guarantee this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6456</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despair and misery are static factors.

This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Taking into account the good relations between Russia and Iran, I hope that together we can overcome this crisis which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35732]]></link><description><![CDATA[Taking into account the good relations between Russia and Iran, I hope that together we can overcome this crisis which has arisen recently.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A free man is as jealous of his responsibilities as he is of his liberties. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24731]]></link><description><![CDATA[A free man is as jealous of his responsibilities as he is of his liberties.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095  There are a number of Hebrew words about salvation which also mean ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095  There are a number of Hebrew words about salvation which also mean "to bring into a spacious environment", "to be at one's ease", "to be free to develop". "Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23665]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a criminal jury system which is superior to any in the world; and its efficiency is only marred by the difficulty of finding twelve men every day who don't know anything and can't read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23665</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The primary function of a theater is not to please itself, or even to please its audience.

Who among his disciples or among their proselytes was capable of inventing the sayings of Jesus or of imagining the life and character revealed in the Gospels? Certainly not the fishermen of Galilee; as certainly not St. Paul, whose character and idiosyncrasies were of a totally different sort; still less the early Christian writers, in whom nothing is more evident than that the good which was in them was all derived, as they always professed that it was derived, from the higher source.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8530</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We took the No. 1 team in the county right to the edge.
