Therefore blessed be they, and most honoured be their name, that breake the yce and give the onset upon that which helpeth forward to the saving of soules. Now what can be more available thereto, than to deliver Gods booke unto the Gods people in a tongue which they understand? ... So if we, building upon their foundation that went before us, and being holpen by their labours, doe endeavor to make that better which they left so good; no man, we are sure, has cause to mislike us; they, we persuade ourselves, if they were alive, would thank us. For is the Kingdom of God become words or syllables? Why should we be in bondage to them if we may be free?

To deny God, man must ultimately deny that there is any law or reality. The full implications of this were seen in the [19th] century by two profound thinkers, one a Christian and the other a non-Christian.   [Friedrich W.] Nietzsche recognized fully that every atheist is an unwilling believer to the extent that he has any element of justice or order in his life, to the very extent that he is even alive and enjoys life. In his earlier writings, Nietzsche first attempted the creation of another set of standards and values, affirming life for a time, until he concluded that he could not affirm life itself nor give it any meaning, any value, apart from God. Thus Nietzsche's ultimate counsel was suicide; only then, [he asserted] can we truly deny God: and in his own life, this brilliant thinker -- one of the clearest in his description of modern Christianity and the contemporary issue -- did in effect commit a kind of psychic suicide.   The same concept was powerfully developed by [Fyodor M.] Dostoyevski, particularly in The Possessed, or, more literally, the Demon-Possessed. Kirilov, a thoroughly Nietzschean character, is very much concerned with denying God, asserting that he himself is God and that man does not need God. But at every point, Kirilov finds that no standard or structure in reality can be affirmed without ultimately asserting God, that no value can be asserted without being ultimately de rived from the Triune God. As a result, Kirilov committed suicide as the only apparently practical way of denying God and affirming himself -- for to be alive was to affirm this ontological deity in some fashion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7565</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Anyone who expects a source of power from the transformation of the atom is talking moonshine ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Anyone who expects a source of power from the transformation of the atom is talking moonshine]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let the cobbler stick to his last. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51009]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let the cobbler stick to his last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51009</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the joy of a lifetime, ...

When prayer is at its highest we wait in silence for God's voice to us; we linger in His presence for His peace and His power to flow over us and around us; we lean back in His everlasting arms and feel the serenity of perfect security in Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7495</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you're a student or whatever, and you can't afford a car, or a plane fare, or even a train ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62945]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you're a student or whatever, and you can't afford a car, or a plane fare, or even a train fare, all you can do is hope that someone will stop and pick you up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62945</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must not always judge of the generality of the opinion by the noise of the acclamation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2929]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must not always judge of the generality of the opinion by the noise of the acclamation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2929</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We worked hard all year and tried to set an example for our people back home.
