We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nature attains perfection, but man never does.

There is a perfect ant, a perfect bee, but man is perpetually unfinished. He is both an unfinished animal and an unfinished man. It is this incurable unfinishedness which sets man apart from other living things. For, in the attempt to finish himself, man becomes a creator. Moreover, the incurable unfinishedness keeps man perpetually immature, perpetually capable of learning and growing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52282</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Set up as an ideal the facing of reality as honestly and as cheerfully as possible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Set up as an ideal the facing of reality as honestly and as cheerfully as possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Messenger of sympathy and love, Servant of parted friends,  Consoler of the lonely,   Bond of the scattered ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47813]]></link><description><![CDATA[Messenger of sympathy and love, Servant of parted friends,  Consoler of the lonely,   Bond of the scattered family,    Enlarger of the common life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For parlor use, the vague generality is a life saver. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35527]]></link><description><![CDATA[For parlor use, the vague generality is a life saver.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35527</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Given one well-trained physician of the highest type he will do better work for a thousand people than ten specialists. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Given one well-trained physician of the highest type he will do better work for a thousand people than ten specialists.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aidan, Bishop of Lindisfarne, Missionary, 651 Commemoration of Cuthburga, Founding Abbess of Wimborne, c.725 Commemoration of John Bunyan, Spiritual Writer, 1688  But upon a day the good providence of God did cast me to Bedford to work on my calling, and in one of the streets of that town I came where there were three or four poor women sitting at a door in the sun and talking about the things of God; and being now willing to hear them discourse, I drew near to hear what they said, for I was now a brisk talker also myself in the matters of religion. But now I may say I heard, but I understood not; for they were far above, out of my reach; for their talk was about a new birth -- the work of God on their hearts. And methought they spake as if Joy did make them speak; they spake with such pleasantness of scripture language and with such appearance of grace in all they said, that they were to me as if they had found a new world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7098</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, is the jay more precious than the lark Because his feathers are more beautiful?  Or is the adder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23127]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, is the jay more precious than the lark Because his feathers are more beautiful?  Or is the adder better than the eel   Because his painted skin contents the eye?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23127</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only method by which people can be supported is out of the effort of those who are earning their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13648]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only method by which people can be supported is out of the effort of those who are earning their own way.
