What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24]]></link><description><![CDATA[The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the table without a deal]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When an occasion of practicing some virtue offered, he addressed himself to God, saying, "Lord, I cannot do this unless ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6626]]></link><description><![CDATA[When an occasion of practicing some virtue offered, he addressed himself to God, saying, "Lord, I cannot do this unless Thou enablest me"; and... then he received strength more than sufficient. When he had failed in his duty, he simply confessed his fault, saying to God, "I shall never do otherwise if Thou leavest me to myself; it is Thou who must hinder my falling, and mend what is amiss." After this, he gave himself no further uneasiness about it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6626</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I saw how different life was on different sides of the same city.
