How shall I praise th' eternal God,  That Infinite Unknown? Who can ascend his high abode,   Or venture near his throne? The great invisible! He dwells  Conceal'd in dazzling light: But his all-searching eye reveals  The secrets of the night. Those watchful eyes that never sleep,  Survey the world around; His wisdom is the boundless deep,  Where all our thoughts are drown'd.  He knows no shadow of a change,  Nor alters his decrees; Firm as a rock his truth remains,   To guard his promises.  Justice, upon a dreadful throne,  Maintains the rights of God; While mercy sends her pardons down,  Bought with a Saviour's blood. Now to my soul immortal King,   Speak some forgiving word; Then `twill be double joy to sing  The glories of my Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6269</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[See what will happen if you don't stop biting your fingernails? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43460]]></link><description><![CDATA[See what will happen if you don't stop biting your fingernails?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56695]]></link><description><![CDATA[Remember, if you smoke after sex you're doing it too fast.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such and so various are the tastes of men. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such and so various are the tastes of men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41721</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too late is tomorrow's life; live for today. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59470]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too late is tomorrow's life; live for today.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is passion tamed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41188]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is passion tamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41188</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beneath the rule of men entirely great, / The pen is mightier than the sword. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beneath the rule of men entirely great, / The pen is mightier than the sword.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has very small and delicate ears.

Academically oriented Christians especially tend to think that the barriers to faith should be removed by repackaging the content of the message in a way more congenial to the modern outlook.
