What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54617]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has his secret sorrows which the world knows not; and often times we call a man cold when he is only sad.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54617</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66241]]></link><description><![CDATA[No bird soars too high if he soars with his own wings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66241</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make hay while the sun shines. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48811]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make hay while the sun shines.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48811</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3390]]></link><description><![CDATA[A physician without a knowledge of Astrology has no right to call himself a physician]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conflict is the beginning of consciousness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conflict is the beginning of consciousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45784]]></link><description><![CDATA[I know not what course others may take, but as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[was prepared to take risks for the peace process, risks to secure agreement and risks to implement it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30118]]></link><description><![CDATA[was prepared to take risks for the peace process, risks to secure agreement and risks to implement it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the surgery ward, the staff works in teams and no one could refuse his orders. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36526]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the surgery ward, the staff works in teams and no one could refuse his orders.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36526</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But wild Ambition loves to slide, not stand, And Fortune's ice prefers to Virtue's land. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2320]]></link><description><![CDATA[But wild Ambition loves to slide, not stand, And Fortune's ice prefers to Virtue's land.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2320</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[From the persistence of noise comes the insistence of rage.

We used to read the lives of the Saints together. And when I read of the martyrdoms which they suffered for the love of God, I used to think that they had bought their entry into God's presence very cheaply. Then I fervently longed to die like them, not out of any conscious love for Him, but in order to attain, as quickly as they had, those joys which, as I read, are laid up in Heaven. I used to discuss with my brother ways and means of becoming martyrs, and we agreed to go together to the land of the Moors, begging our way for the love of God, so that we might be beheaded there. I believe that our Lord had given us courage enough even at that tender age, if only we could have seen a way. But our parents seemed to us a very great hindrance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7666</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But the trail of the serpent is over them all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56389]]></link><description><![CDATA[But the trail of the serpent is over them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56389</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do you know the difference between education and experience?
