Is it a total contradiction of it? Is it some sort of a reflection of it? or perhaps a devil's parody of it? Or has it nothing to do with it at all? Perhaps there will be many Christians to whom it would not occur to pose the question whether the process of secularization has anything to do with the biblical understanding of the goal of history. The Bible, for them, belongs to a religious world which is not admitted to belong to the world of secular events -- the world in which we are when we read the daily newspaper. But this is to read the Bible wrongly. Whatever else it may be, the Bible is a secular book dealing with the sort of events which a news editor accepts for publication in a daily newspaper; it is concerned with secular events, wars, revolutions, enslavements and liberations, migrants and refugees, famines and epidemics and all the rest. It deals with events which happened and tells a story which can be checked. We miss this because we do not sufficiently treat the Bible as a whole. When we do this, we see at once that the Bible -- whatever be the variety of material which it contains: poetry, prayers, legislation, genealogy, and all the rest -- is in its main design a universal history. It is an interpretation of human history as a whole, beginning with the saga of creation and ending with a vision of the gathering together of all the nations and the consummation of God's purpose for mankind. The Bible is an outline of world history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20700]]></link><description><![CDATA[So much attention is paid to the aggressive sins, such as violence and cruelty and greed with all their tragic effects, that too little attention is paid to the passive sins, such as apathy and laziness, which in the long run can have a more devastating and destructive effect upon our society than the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Faintly as tolls the evening chime, Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time,  Soon as the woods ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4403]]></link><description><![CDATA[Faintly as tolls the evening chime, Our voices keep tune and our oars keep time,  Soon as the woods on shore dim,   We'll sing at St. Ann's our parting hymn;    Row, brothers, row, the stream runs fast,     The rapids are near and the daylight's past.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear of the future is worse than one's present fortune. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63839]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fear of the future is worse than one's present fortune.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ironically, rural America has become viewed by a growing number of Americans as having a higher quality of life not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52650]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ironically, rural America has become viewed by a growing number of Americans as having a higher quality of life not because of what it has, but rather because of what it does not have!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52650</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take heede of still waters, the quick passe away. [Take heed of still waters, they quick pass away.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Take heede of still waters, the quick passe away. [Take heed of still waters, they quick pass away.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Condition, circumstance, is not the thing; Bliss is the same in subject or in king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Condition, circumstance, is not the thing; Bliss is the same in subject or in king.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Leadership is the special quality which enables people to stand up and pull the rest of us over the horizon. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24449]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leadership is the special quality which enables people to stand up and pull the rest of us over the horizon. -James L.
