I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most important office ... that of private citizen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8803]]></link><description><![CDATA[The most important office ... that of private citizen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12346]]></link><description><![CDATA[I seldom end up where I wanted to go, but almost always end up where I need to be.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Excess of sorrow laughs, excess of joy weeps. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14448]]></link><description><![CDATA[Excess of sorrow laughs, excess of joy weeps.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we feel that we're offering is an additional product, an additional choice.

Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Young fellows will be young fellows. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62559]]></link><description><![CDATA[Young fellows will be young fellows.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62559</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never apologize for showing feeling.

He observes many different kinds of peace prevailing in the world he inhabits. Not all of them are good. For example, there is the peace that death brings, the peace of the tomb. Today it could be called the peace of Auschwitz. Hitler tried to "make peace" with the Jews by seeking their "final solution"; but the evangelical would fight rather than submit to such a peace. There is also the peace of slavery and subjection, the Pax Romana. Dictators are very fond of the Roman peace. Today it could be called the peace of Tibet. The nation of Tibet has been completely stripped of its personality in our generation by Communist China without a single protest being made in front of a single embassy. Again, there is peace that is artificially induced in men. Among individuals it is the peace of the tranquilizer, the peace of withdrawal and schizophrenia, the peace of the brain-washed prisoner. Should large-scale chemical warfare break our, we are told, whole cities could be sprayed and pacified by such drugs. The evangelical is not interested in paying such high prices for the sake of peace. He would rather stay free, and alive, and in his right mind, prepared to fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love spends his all, and still hath store. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love spends his all, and still hath store.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43721]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave the matter of religion to the family altar, the church, and the private school, supported entirely by private contributions.
