The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are frequently advised to read the Bible with our own personal needs in mind, and to look for answers ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are frequently advised to read the Bible with our own personal needs in mind, and to look for answers to our own private questions.

Let the great passages fix themselves in our memory. Let them stay there permanently, like bright beacons, launching their powerful shafts of light upon life's problems -- our own and everyone's -- as they illumine, now one, now another dark area of human life. Following such a method, we discover that the Bible does "speak to our condition" and meet our needs, not just occasionally or when some emergency arises, but continually.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6458</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There can no longer be anyone too poor to vote. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60985]]></link><description><![CDATA[There can no longer be anyone too poor to vote.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43452]]></link><description><![CDATA[Most rock journalism is people who can't write interviewing people who can't talk for people who can't read.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43452</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Swallow, the Serpent, and the Court of JusticeA swallow, returning from abroad and especially fond of dwelling with men, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1587]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Swallow, the Serpent, and the Court of JusticeA swallow, returning from abroad and especially fond of dwelling with men, built herself a nest in the wall of a Court of Justice and there hatched seven young birds.
