Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The finest eloquence is that which gets things done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22604]]></link><description><![CDATA[The finest eloquence is that which gets things done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yet, who can help loving the land that has taught us Six hundred and eighty-five ways to dress eggs? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yet, who can help loving the land that has taught us Six hundred and eighty-five ways to dress eggs?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No wonder people are so horrible when they start life as children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40157]]></link><description><![CDATA[No wonder people are so horrible when they start life as children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is something to that old saying that hate injures the hater, notthe hated. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21159]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is something to that old saying that hate injures the hater, notthe hated.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Aelred of Hexham, Abbot of Rievaulx, 1167 Commemoration of Benedict Biscop, Abbot of Wearmouth, Scholar, 689   We have all been inoculated with Christianity, and are never likely to take it seriously now! You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23065]]></link><description><![CDATA[My mother never saw the irony in calling me a son-of-a-bitch]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, The bed be blest that I lye on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, The bed be blest that I lye on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tunnel underneath the sea from Calais straight to Dover, Sir, The squeamish folks may cross by land from shore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48455]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tunnel underneath the sea from Calais straight to Dover, Sir, The squeamish folks may cross by land from shore to shore,  With sluices made to drown the French, if e'er they would come over, Sir,   Has long been talk'd of, till at length 'tis thought a monstrous bore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Men are cruel, but Man is kind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Men are cruel, but Man is kind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52606]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many men go fishing all of their lives without knowing it is not fish they are after.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52606</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Management: First fix the blame.

It seems hard to realize that that is so, but so it is. If your theology does not make you more loving, it has not Christianized you and to that extent is not a Christian theology... All ecclesiasticism and all doctrinalizing are in order to form character, and the soul of character is love.
