It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When your life flashes before your eyes, make sure you’ve got plenty to watch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66052]]></link><description><![CDATA[When your life flashes before your eyes, make sure you’ve got plenty to watch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How could you do that? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29452]]></link><description><![CDATA[How could you do that?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/29452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some people weave burlap into the fabric of our lives, and some weave gold thread.

They are of one accord by being tuned, not to each other, but to another standard to which each one must individually bow. So one hundred worshippers meeting together, each one looking away to Christ, are in heart nearer to each other than they could possibly be were they to become 'unity' conscious and turn their eyes away from God to strive for closer fellowship.
