The first is its compromised, deficient understanding of revelation. Without Biblical historicity and veracity behind the Word of God, theology can only grow closer to Hinduism. Second, the modern Christian is drastically weak in an unmediated, persona. experiential knowledge of God. Often, what passes for religious experience is a communal emotion felt in church services, in meetings, in singing or contrived fellowship. Few Christians would know God on their own. Third, the modern church is often pathetically feeble in the expression of its focal principle of community. It has become an adult social club, preaching shop, or minister-dominated group. With these weaknesses, modern Christianity cannot hope to understand why people have turned to the East, let alone stand against the trend and offer an alternative.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have always believed that all things depended upon Fortune, and nothing upon ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27692]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have always believed that all things depended upon Fortune, and nothing upon ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37165]]></link><description><![CDATA[The essence of immorality is the tendency to make an exception of myself.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37165</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Go to your bosom: Knock there, and ask your heart what it doth know]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thus when I shun Scylla, your father, I fall into Charybdis, your mother. -The Merchant of Venice.
