We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poetry is what gets lost in translation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46762]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poetry is what gets lost in translation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58365]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are all tattooed in our cradles with the beliefs of our tribe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What will the stream become in its lengthened course, if it be so turpid as its source? [It., Qual diverra ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52593]]></link><description><![CDATA[What will the stream become in its lengthened course, if it be so turpid as its source? [It., Qual diverra quel fiume,  Nel lungo suo cammino,   Se al fonte ancor vicino    E torbido cosi?]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this fool's paradise, he drank delight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45463]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this fool's paradise, he drank delight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45463</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If there is no struggle there is no progress. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57066]]></link><description><![CDATA[If there is no struggle there is no progress.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57066</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Greek word euphuia, a finely tempered nature, gives exactly the notion of perfection as culture brings us to perceive ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58483]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Greek word euphuia, a finely tempered nature, gives exactly the notion of perfection as culture brings us to perceive it; a harmonious perfection, a perfection in which the characters of beauty and intelligence are both present, which unites "the two noblest of things"--as Swift . . . most happily calls them in his Battle of the Books, "the two noblest of things, sweetness and light."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58483</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Commemoration of Helena, Protector of the Faith, 330  But how shall we rest in God?

By giving ourselves wholly to Him. If you give yourself by halves, you cannot find full rest -- there will ever be a lurking disquiet in that half which is withheld... All peace and happiness in this world depend upon unreserved self-oblation to God. If this be hearty and entire, the result will be an unfailing, ever-increasing happiness, which nothing can disturb. There is no real happiness in this life save that which is the result of a peaceful heart.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing defines the quality of life in a community more clearly than people who regard themselves, or whom the consensus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52419]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing defines the quality of life in a community more clearly than people who regard themselves, or whom the consensus chooses to regard, as mentally unwell.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52419</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can have anything you want in life, you just can't have everythingyou want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21467]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can have anything you want in life, you just can't have everythingyou want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little public scandal is good once in a while.
