Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We cannot take solace from these figures as the upward revision to the core PCE deflator takes the year-on-year rate ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32933]]></link><description><![CDATA[We cannot take solace from these figures as the upward revision to the core PCE deflator takes the year-on-year rate to 1.9 percent, up against the Fed's outer boundary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32933</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just play.

Even if we were first to grant the presence of a "Christendom" situation [where] Church and State would be virtually coextensive, the nation of Israel would still remain unique. The focus of salvation is on the historical action of God in forming a people for Himself, and there is no indication anywhere in the Bible that God promises political salvation even inside the context of the full salvation of His people, let alone outside it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6719</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was a man Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven  To serve the devil in. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20229]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was a man Who stole the livery of the court of Heaven  To serve the devil in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20229</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's always been a dream of mine to be involved in the America's Cup.
