The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't think we played bad.

yea, come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. 2 Wherefore do ye spend money for that which is not bread? and your labour for that which satisfieth not? hearken diligently unto me, and eat ye that which is good, and let your soul delight itself in fatness. 3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a leader and commander to the people. 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee. 6 Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near: 7 Let the wicked forsake his way, and the unrighteous man his thoughts: and let him return unto the LORD, and he will have mercy upon him; and to our God, for he will abundantly pardon. 8 For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways, saith the LORD. 9 For as the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts. 10 For as the rain cometh down, and the snow from heaven, and returneth not thither, but watereth the earth, and maketh it bring forth and bud, that it may give seed to the sower, and bread to the eater: 11 So shall my word be that goeth forth out of my mouth: it shall not return unto me void, but it shall accomplish that which I please, and it shall prosper in the thing whereto I sent it. 12 For ye shall go out with joy, and be led forth with peace: the mountains and the hills shall break forth before you into singing, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. 13 Instead of the thorn shall come up the fir tree, and instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle tree: and it shall be to the LORD for a name, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43943</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Presumably there would be facts and documents of Intel that it does not necessarily want to broadcast to the public, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39998]]></link><description><![CDATA[Presumably there would be facts and documents of Intel that it does not necessarily want to broadcast to the public,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39998</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God never gave man a thing to do concerning which it were irreverent to ponder how the Son of God ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6134]]></link><description><![CDATA[God never gave man a thing to do concerning which it were irreverent to ponder how the Son of God would have done it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6134</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To fish in troubled waters. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16120]]></link><description><![CDATA[To fish in troubled waters.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16120</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If voting changed anything, they'd abolish it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61012]]></link><description><![CDATA[If voting changed anything, they'd abolish it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christianity has not been tried and found wanting;

it is to turn the face to all holiness, all purity, all grace.
