And what He does is to come to each soul partaking in the Sacrament and to assure it that He stands to the best and biggest of His promises and to the fullness of His grace in Christ... de-universalizes the Scriptures and individualizes them, makes them a personal promise, couched no longer in general terms but offered to very you and very me, as individually as if they covered no other but referred to you and me alone. We may be cold and dead and unresponsive. None the less, something happens in the Sacrament.

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[The present joys of life we doubly taste by looking back with pleasure on the past ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41490]]></link><description><![CDATA[The present joys of life we doubly taste by looking back with pleasure on the past]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41490</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person -- they have a plan, an ideology, no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2067]]></link><description><![CDATA[I like villains because there's something so attractive about a committed person -- they have a plan, an ideology, no matter how twisted.
