Nonsense! It gives us no picture at all. It reveals to us a fact: it tells us what we really are; it says, This is the form in which God created you, to which He has restored you; this is the work which the Eternal Son, the God of Truth and Love, is continually carrying on within you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wode has erys, felde has sigt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48598]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wode has erys, felde has sigt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[SELFISH, adj.

All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who learns must suffer.

To have ideas, apercus, is not enough, and it is the overevalutation of such clever but uncontrolled guesses which is apt to produce the ludicrous fallacy of combination, in which fragments of the final theory are collected from widely scattered sources and are combined in such a way as to impugn the originality of him who was the first to see how such a synthesis was possible.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56960</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47980]]></link><description><![CDATA[Practice means to perform, over and over again in the face of all obstacles, some act of vision, of faith, of desire.
