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'm a baaaadd man!! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57703]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm a baaaadd man!!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57703</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Karma-yoga is a supreme secret indeed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Aldo Leopold, the early 20th century's Henry David Thoreau, said that we should think like a mountain, with a sense ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60359]]></link><description><![CDATA[Aldo Leopold, the early 20th century's Henry David Thoreau, said that we should think like a mountain, with a sense of permanence and a long view. At the beginning of the 21st century, we are at a peak of human power, wealth and information... We need to look back at our wonderful natural and human heritage, and cherish and protect the abundant values to be found there. We need to look out to the sides and see other parts of the world that need our help and can provide good ideas to go forward... We need to look ahead to be certain that our actions of today will make the world a better and richer and more varied place for our grandchildren and their grandchildren.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Souldiers in peace are like chimneys in summer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49760]]></link><description><![CDATA[Souldiers in peace are like chimneys in summer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You say that love is nonsense....I tell you it is no such thing.

General opinion's starting to make out that we live in a world of hatred and greed, but I don't see that. It seems to me that love is everywhere. Often it's not particularly dignified or newsworthy, but it's always there - fathers and sons, mothers and daughters, husbands and wives, boyfriends, girlfriends, old friends. When the planes hit the Twin Towers, as far as I know none of the phone calls from the people on board were messages of hate or revenge - they were all messages of love. If you look for it, I've got a sneaky feeling you'll find that love actually is all around.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41100</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow. [Lat., Gloria virtutem tanquam umbra sequitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17542]]></link><description><![CDATA[Glory follows virtue as if it were its shadow. [Lat., Gloria virtutem tanquam umbra sequitur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're seeing a tickling of inflation in the pipeline but it's not going to be passed on to the consumer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30766]]></link><description><![CDATA[We're seeing a tickling of inflation in the pipeline but it's not going to be passed on to the consumer.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30766</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Suns may set and rise again: for us, when our brief light has set, there's the sleep of one ever ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25070]]></link><description><![CDATA[Suns may set and rise again: for us, when our brief light has set, there's the sleep of one ever lasting night.
