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[Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47187]]></link><description><![CDATA[Much of the social history of the Western world, over the past three decades, has been a history of replacing what has worked with what sounded good. In area after area- crime, education, housing, race relations- the situation has gotten worse after the bright new theories were put into operation. The amazing thing is that this history of failure and disaster has neither discouraged the social engineers nor discredited them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mask is dropped...

The Stoics tried the hopeless little game of denying its objective reality, or of declaring it a good in itself (which it never is); and the Pessimists attempted to revel in it, as a food to their melancholy, and as something that can no more be transformed than it can be avoided or explained. But Christ came, and He did not really explain it; He did far more: He met it, willed it, transformed it; and He taught us to do all this -- or, rather, He Himself does it within us, if we do not hinder the all-healing hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6731</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life without a friend is death without a witness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11379]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life without a friend is death without a witness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The divide of race has been America's constant curse.

Each new wave of immigrants gives new targets to old prejudices. Prejudice and contempt, cloaked in the pretense of religious or political conviction, are no different. They have nearly destroyed us in the past. They plague us still. They fuel the fanaticism of terror. They torment the lives of millions in fractured nations around the world.

St. Polycarp, Letter to the Philippians February 24, 2000  In church government... our primary concern is to reflect the nature of God. Christ became man in order that He might redeem men from their fallen state, from their selfishness and self-isolating divisions from God and from each other; so that, gathered together in one in Him, man may offer to God that likeness to Himself in love for which he was created. Church government is primarily concerned with this: with worship, with the drawing of the whole life of the whole world into this reflection of the nature of God. It is secondly -- and only secondly -- concerned with the quarrels and peccadilloes of those who are not, as a matter of fact, imitating God's nature very faithfully.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23406]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy is but the sign that creative emotion is fulfilling its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23406</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15578]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to be careful in this era of radical feminism, not to emphasize an equality of the sexes that leads women to imitate men to prove their equality.
