Because of the role they have been willing to play, when they use the word God it is heard in a certain way. It is heard, often with deference and usually with courtesy, as a word referring to the linchpin of the era of Christendom (past) or as the totem of one of the tribal subcultures (irrelevant). The only way clergy can ever change the way in which the word they use is perceived is to refuse to play the role of antiquarian and medicine man in which the society casts them; but this is difficult, because it is what they are paid for.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was a good game for, not bad at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33455]]></link><description><![CDATA[It was a good game for, not bad at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...the integrative tendencies of the individual are incomparably more dangerous than his self-assertive tendencies. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52031]]></link><description><![CDATA[...the integrative tendencies of the individual are incomparably more dangerous than his self-assertive tendencies.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52031</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16922]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make new friends but keep the old ones; one is silver and the other's gold.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16922</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Understand that most problems are a good sign.

The Voice of God is the most powerful force in nature, indeed the only force in nature, for all energy is here only because the power-filled Word is being spoken.

But Jesus did believe in Him, was sure He is alive and abroad in the world; that, therefore, anything may happen any hour. And thus to Him any smallest incident was a magic casement opening upon who could tell what possibilities. A fisherman offers Him a crude, inchoate half-faith, and with that He is sure that He can found a world-wide Church that will defy the powers of evil, aye, and grind them into nothingness at last: a dying brigand, paying the just penalties of his crimes, gropes towards Him in the darkness with the vague hands of a blind man, and, founding upon that, Christ dies, quite sure that He has won: two or three Gentiles seek an interview with Him, and He sees a whole teeming world of men and women being saved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7808</guid></item></channel></rss>
