Common sense tells us this assumption is wrong -- and nothing in the Bible supports such a conclusion. Believing that God is the Lord of history, we believe that God is at work now in the development of industry and commerce throughout the world, in the experiments and researches of the scientists, in the deliberations of the United Nations, and in the course of events in Berlin and Havana, in Moscow and Peiping, and Detroit. One might say, then that He seems to be doing some very strange and contradictory things! But, though we cannot claim to know God's purpose in all this, we do believe that God acts in all these circumstances. The revolutionary changes of our time are not all a mistake: they are not taking place without God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis an easy thing to find a staff to beat a dog. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51039]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis an easy thing to find a staff to beat a dog.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51039</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66129]]></link><description><![CDATA[I always wanted to have my own album released before I graduated from high school.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35548]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are so appreciative of the men and women in uniform who are protecting us, whether in Afghanistan or Iraq or on ships around the world.

Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Joy's smile is much closer to tears than laughter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Joy's smile is much closer to tears than laughter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Actions from youth, advice from the middle-aged, prayers from the aged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50144]]></link><description><![CDATA[Actions from youth, advice from the middle-aged, prayers from the aged.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis a very fine thing to be father-in-law To a very magnificent three-tailed bashaw. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54458]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis a very fine thing to be father-in-law To a very magnificent three-tailed bashaw.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Meanwhile "Black sheep, black sheep!" we cry, Safe in the inner fold;  And maybe they hear, and wonder why, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23528]]></link><description><![CDATA[Meanwhile "Black sheep, black sheep!" we cry, Safe in the inner fold;  And maybe they hear, and wonder why,   And marvel, out in the cold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23528</guid></item></channel></rss>
