Failure to ask this primary question and to investigate the historical setting of Scripture have prevented many Christians from coming to a correct understanding of some parts of the Bible. Nowhere is this more true than in respect to the last book in the Bible. Here, there has been a singular lack of appreciation for the historical background of the book; the book has been interpreted as if it were primarily written for the day in which the expositor lives (which is usually thought to be the end time), rather than in terms of what it meant to the first-century Christians of the Roman province of Asia for whom it was originally written. This has resulted in all sorts of grotesque and fantastic conclusions of which the author of the Revelation and its early recipients never would have dreamed.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7629</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18057]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ancient Rome declined because it had a Senate, now what's going to happen to us with both a House and a Senate?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18057</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   Our wills are not ours to be crushed and broken; they are ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Edward the Confessor, 1066   Our wills are not ours to be crushed and broken; they are ours to be trained and strengthened. Our affections are not ours to be blighted and crucified; they are ours to be deepened and purified. The rich opportunities of life are not held out to us only to be snatched away by an invisible hand patiently waiting for the hour when the cup is sweetest; they are given to us that we may grow, alike through their rise or their withdrawal. They are real, they are sweet, and they are worthy of our longing for them; we gain nothing by calling them dross, or the world an illusion, or ourselves the victims of deception, or by exalting renunciation as the highest virtue. When these opportunities are denied us, it is a real, not an imaginary, loss which we sustain; and our part is not that of bare renunciation, of simple surrender; our part is to recognize the loss, to bear the pain, and to find a deeper and richer life in doing the will of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6411</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't let one bad moment spoil a bunch of good ones. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21903]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't let one bad moment spoil a bunch of good ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21903</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'm a golfer -- not an athlete. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57539]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'm a golfer -- not an athlete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I hate all children of precocious talent. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48841]]></link><description><![CDATA[I hate all children of precocious talent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48841</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The operator doesn't have to stare at the screen and guess. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30646]]></link><description><![CDATA[The operator doesn't have to stare at the screen and guess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The State always moves slowly and grudgingly towards any purpose that accrues to society's advantage, but moves rapidly and with ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47173]]></link><description><![CDATA[The State always moves slowly and grudgingly towards any purpose that accrues to society's advantage, but moves rapidly and with alacrity towards one that accrues to its own advantage; nor does it ever move towards social purposes on its own initiative, but only under heavy pressure, while its motion towards anti-social purposes is self-sprung.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47173</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a wonderful thing to talk about, or to read about in history books - but it is terrible ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a wonderful thing to talk about, or to read about in history books - but it is terrible when one has to live it]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65072]]></link><description><![CDATA[Poets are soldiers that liberate words from the steadfast possession of definition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Death came with friendly care;The opening bud to heaven conveyed,And bade it blossom there. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11352]]></link><description><![CDATA[Death came with friendly care;The opening bud to heaven conveyed,And bade it blossom there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality. [Ger., Wissenschaft und Kunst ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54823]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science and art belong to the whole world, and before them vanish the barriers of nationality. [Ger., Wissenschaft und Kunst gehoren der Welt an, und vor ihhen verschwinden die Schranken der Nationalitat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Randall's a good guy, and the governor looks forward to working with him in his role as speaker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Randall's a good guy, and the governor looks forward to working with him in his role as speaker.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fools admire, but men of sense approve. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/627]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fools admire, but men of sense approve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/627</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Television -- a medium.

They are trying to save the Christians out of this labyrinth by reuniting the divided churches, by forming an alliance of churches, or by trying to form an ecumenical church. For all that, it seems very difficult to obtain the desired result, because all the present churches are still standing on the principles of the Reformation, unable to rid themselves of the sectarian spirit inherited from Catholicism. So the number of denominations and sects shows no sign of decreasing, and all efforts to unite the churches seem likely to end only in the formation of yet other sects and denominations. Yet the center of Christianity is neither institution nor organization. Nor is it even the Bible itself, as the Reformers made it, for the Eklesia existed before the formation of the New Testament canon. Christians were in fellowship with God and one another, centering their faith in Christ, long before there was any accepted New Testament. There is only one center of Christianity -- spiritual fellowship with God through Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6887</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never idealize others.
