In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be not arrogant when fortune smiles, or dejected when she frowns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be not arrogant when fortune smiles, or dejected when she frowns.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better have failed in the high aim, as I, Than vulgarly in the low aim succeed  As, God be ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58128]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better have failed in the high aim, as I, Than vulgarly in the low aim succeed  As, God be thanked!
