Its concern is with how Israel ought to think of God. To it, the existence of God is not an open question, nor His nature, nor the accessibility of knowledge of Him. God Himself has taken care of that He has made Himself known to His people, and their business is not to feel after Him if haply they may fumblingly find Him, but to hearken to Him as He declares to them what and who He is.

Perfect love, we know, casteth out fear. But so do several other things--ignorance, alcohol, passion presumption, and stupidity. It is very desirable that we should all advance to that perfection of love in which we shall fear no longer; but it is very undesirable, until we have reached that stage, that we should allow any inferior agent to cast out our fear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He gives a benefit twice who gives quickly. [Lat., Inopi beneficium bis dat, qui dat celeriter.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4141]]></link><description><![CDATA[He gives a benefit twice who gives quickly. [Lat., Inopi beneficium bis dat, qui dat celeriter.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4141</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.

The discoveries of modern physical and biological science, of astronomy, and of psychology, have profoundly influenced his conception of the "size" of God. If there be a Mind behind the immense complexities of the phenomena that man can observe, then it is that of a Being tremendous in His power and wisdom: it is emphatically not that of a little god. It is perfectly conceivable that such a Being has a moral purpose which is being worked out on the stage of this small planet. It is even possible to believe that such a God deliberately reduced Himself to the stature of humanity in order to visit the earth in Person, as all Christians affirm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every politician should have been born an orphan and remain a bachelor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47241]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every politician should have been born an orphan and remain a bachelor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47241</guid></item></channel></rss>
