The two ideas of Free-will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconciled in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What, man! more water glideth by the mill That wots the miller of; and easy it is  Of a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61302]]></link><description><![CDATA[What, man! more water glideth by the mill That wots the miller of; and easy it is  Of a cut loaf to steal a shive, we know:   Though Bassianus be the emperor's brother,    Better then he have worn Vulcan's badge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Using the Oval office to cheat on your wife makes you a bad husband and an irresponsible leader.

David Bronnert, who was quoted in CQOD at the beginning of the month, has kindly sent me the following meditation taken from the church magazine of St. John's Church, Southall, in London, where he serves as vicar, living out, under God, the previous quotation he wrote thirty years ago. I am grateful to brother David for sending me this timely teaching so that I could present it to you. The light shines in the darkness   Candles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle!   Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks -- like this magazine! -- disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out.   But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame.   The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible.   The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It is isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a budding morrow in midnight. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59454]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a budding morrow in midnight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59454</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53507]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing as mundane as mere evidence can be allowed to threaten a vision so deeply satisfying.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53507</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dolendi modus, timendi non item.
