The fact is that a demythologized modernism is overwhelming the traditional Christ-centered, mystical faith. For the modern skeptics are not the apostates, village atheists, or political revolutionaries of old. The leaders of today's challenge to traditional beliefs are principally theologians -- those in whose care the church entrusts its sacred teachings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, the highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize existing material to the best advantage ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13610]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obviously, the highest type of efficiency is that which can utilize existing material to the best advantage]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was not Lisa Holland.

For infinite wisdom does not need telling what is best, and infinite goodness needs no urging to do it. But neither does God need any of those things that are done by finite agents, whether living or inanimate. He could, if He chose, repair our bodies miraculously without food; or give us food without the aid of farmers, bakers, and butchers, or knowledge without the aid of learned men; or convert the heathen without missionaries. Instead, He allows soils and weather and animals and the muscles, minds, and wills of men to cooperate in the execution of His will... It is not really stranger, nor less strange, that my prayers should affect the course of events than that my other actions should do so. They have not advised or changed God' s mind -- that is, His overall purpose. But that purpose will be realized in different ways according to the actions, including the prayers, of His creatures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8510</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Staying up all night is a waste of sleeping, and a waste of sleepingis a waste of dreaming, and dreaming ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Staying up all night is a waste of sleeping, and a waste of sleepingis a waste of dreaming, and dreaming is important because the moredreams you have, the better chance of one coming true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm going to talk about civil rights for all people and how you really have to stand up for your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35433]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm going to talk about civil rights for all people and how you really have to stand up for your rights.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35433</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59533]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living.

All the ingredients of self that are in them He takes away, and adds incense to what remains, and presents it to God. This is the cause that the saints at the last day, when they meet their own duties and performances, know them not, they are so changed from what they were when they went out of their hand. "Lord, when saw we Thee naked or hungry?" So God accepts a little, and Christ makes our little a great deal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7359</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To hear complaints with patience, even when complaints are vain, is one of the duties of friendship. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63266]]></link><description><![CDATA[To hear complaints with patience, even when complaints are vain, is one of the duties of friendship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61090]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everywhere is walking distance if you have the time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9464]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where there is the necessary technical skill to move mountains, there is no need for the faith that moves mountains.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14960]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63399]]></link><description><![CDATA[A son can bear with equanimity the loss of his father, but the loss of his inheritance may drive him to despair.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who would have the kernel must crack the shell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50868]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who would have the kernel must crack the shell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1391]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that toucheth pitch shall be defiled therewith; and he that hath fellowship with a proud man shall be like unto him.
