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[Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer; Death is strong, but Life is stronger;  Stronger than the dark, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13140]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tomb, thou shalt not hold Him longer; Death is strong, but Life is stronger;  Stronger than the dark, the light;   Stronger than the wrong, the right;    Faith and Hope triumphant say     Christ will rise on Easter Day.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13140</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66346]]></link><description><![CDATA[The moment we believe that success is determined by an ingrained level of ability as opposed to resilience and hard work, we will be brittle in the face of adversity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God sendeth cold after clothes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51918]]></link><description><![CDATA[God sendeth cold after clothes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66558]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was pride that changed angels into devils; it is humility that makes men as angels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Jesus Christ is risen to-day, Our triumphant holy day;  Who did once upon the cross   Suffer to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13138]]></link><description><![CDATA[Jesus Christ is risen to-day, Our triumphant holy day;  Who did once upon the cross   Suffer to redeem our loss.    Hallelujah!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man sits with a pretty girl for an hour, it seems like a minute.

Paul, too, used this expression, but he placed alongside it a parallel form of words, "in Christ" or "in Christ Jesus". Where we find these words used we are being reminded of the intimate union with Christ which makes the Christian life an eternal life lived in the midst of time. The deeper shade of meaning would often be conveyed to our minds if we translated the phrase "in communion with Christ". But, Paul's Christ mysticism is saved from the introverted individualism of many forms of mysticism by his insistence that communion with Christ is also communion with all who are Christ's.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Why comes temptation, but for man to meet and master and crouch beneath his foot, and so be pedestaled in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58936]]></link><description><![CDATA[Why comes temptation, but for man to meet and master and crouch beneath his foot, and so be pedestaled in triumph?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58936</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[On dit que dans ses amours Il fut caresse des belles,  Qui le suivirent toujours,   Tant qu'il ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/612]]></link><description><![CDATA[On dit que dans ses amours Il fut caresse des belles,  Qui le suivirent toujours,   Tant qu'il marcha devant elles.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/612</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[First we kill all the subversives; then, their collaborators; later, those who sympathize with them; afterward, those who remain indifferent; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45155]]></link><description><![CDATA[First we kill all the subversives; then, their collaborators; later, those who sympathize with them; afterward, those who remain indifferent; and finally, the undecided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Education would be so much more effective if its purpose were to ensure that by the time they leave school every boy and girl should know how much they don't know, and be imbued with a lifelong desire to know it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Indulgent gods, grant me to sin once with impunity.

Yet if our world were truly Christian, the change might be a reason for rejoicing. We no longer need our families -- we are therefore free to love them with complete unselfishness. Now at last it is possible to honour our parents genuinely, because they no longer have the power to kill us if we don't. The old sort of honour was sometimes an ugly sham: the son who respects Father only out of fear of punishment is not much of a son, just as the Christian who worships God only out of fear of hell is precious little of a Christian. But the new sort of honour can be a beautiful and holy thing. There are many sweet and sane families bound together by love; there are plenty of experts who remind us that only love can make the modern family work at all. And one must admit that there are plenty of parents very willing to be honoured. The catch is that not so many of them are willing to be honourable.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God is not a dead equation! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65155]]></link><description><![CDATA[God is not a dead equation!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65155</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[With people of limited ability modesty is merely honesty.
