I am myself spiritually dead unless I reach out to the fine quality dormant in others.

But men destroy it in the form of exegesis: they destroy it in the way they deal with it. They destroy it by not reading it as written in normal, literary form, by ignoring its historical-grammatical exegesis, by changing the Bible's own perspective of itself as propositional revelation in space and time, in history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43564]]></link><description><![CDATA[Religion points to that area of human experience where in one way or another man comes upon mystery as a summons to pilgrimage.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom is knowing when to speak your mind and when to mind your speech.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He spent hours and hours sifting through different sites. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42311]]></link><description><![CDATA[He spent hours and hours sifting through different sites.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42311</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To many, total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42875]]></link><description><![CDATA[To many, total abstinence is easier than perfect moderation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42875</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It would not be happening if the race was close or if [Democratic candidate Fernando] Ferrer was winning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35633]]></link><description><![CDATA[It would not be happening if the race was close or if [Democratic candidate Fernando] Ferrer was winning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Africa people learn to serve each other.

Yet if our world were truly Christian, the change might be a reason for rejoicing. We no longer need our families -- we are therefore free to love them with complete unselfishness. Now at last it is possible to honour our parents genuinely, because they no longer have the power to kill us if we don't. The old sort of honour was sometimes an ugly sham: the son who respects Father only out of fear of punishment is not much of a son, just as the Christian who worships God only out of fear of hell is precious little of a Christian. But the new sort of honour can be a beautiful and holy thing. There are many sweet and sane families bound together by love; there are plenty of experts who remind us that only love can make the modern family work at all. And one must admit that there are plenty of parents very willing to be honoured. The catch is that not so many of them are willing to be honourable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't see it making sense for Wal-Mart from a dollars-and-cents standpoint. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35557]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't see it making sense for Wal-Mart from a dollars-and-cents standpoint.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35557</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63814]]></link><description><![CDATA[The strong manly ones in life are those who understand the meaning of the word patience.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The beast that goes alwaies never wants blowes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49798]]></link><description><![CDATA[The beast that goes alwaies never wants blowes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  It must be our anxious care, whenever we are ourselves pressed, or see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7494]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  It must be our anxious care, whenever we are ourselves pressed, or see others pressed by any trial, instantly to have recourse to God. And again, in any prosperity of ourselves or others, we must not omit to testify our recognition of God's hand by praise and thanksgiving. Lastly, we must in all our prayers carefully avoid wishing to confine God to certain circumstances, or prescribe to him the time, place, or mode of action. In like manner, we are taught by [the Lord's] prayer not to fix any law or impose any condition upon him, but leave it entirely to him to adopt whatever course of procedure seems to him best, in respect of method, time, and place. For, before we offer up any petition for ourselves, we ask that his will may be done, and by so doing place our will in subordination to his, just as if we had laid a curb upon it, that, instead of presuming to give law to God, it may regard him as the ruler and disposer of all its wishes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are glad to have a football game.
