This speaks for God in an age of inhumanity and impersonality and facelessness. When people look at us, their reaction should be, "These are human people" -- human, because we know that we differ from the animal, the plant, and the machine; and that personality is native to what has always been [human]. If they cannot look upon us and say, "They are real people", nothing else is enough.

But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dear bells! how sweet the sound of village bells When on the undulating air they swim! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4109]]></link><description><![CDATA[Dear bells! how sweet the sound of village bells When on the undulating air they swim!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4109</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A light is still a light-even though the blind man cannot see it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25068]]></link><description><![CDATA[A light is still a light-even though the blind man cannot see it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A gift much expected is paid, not given. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49026]]></link><description><![CDATA[A gift much expected is paid, not given.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49026</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  In his enthusiasm, the evangelist often finds it ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Birinus, Bishop of Dorchester (Oxon), Apostle of Wessex, 650  In his enthusiasm, the evangelist often finds it difficult seriously to imagine that anyone could be called not to be an evangelist. The man of vision and imagination finds it difficult to see the value of those who do no more than plod on faithfully along a well-tried road. The man whose concern is in personal dealing with people and leading them to understand God better finds it difficult to be patient with the theologian or the Christian philosopher whose work is in the quiet of a book-lined study. Yet the truth is that the wholeness which God is working to achieve is never complete in an individual, but through individuals living together as one body, each supplying the deficiencies of the others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just like you wouldn't give a book to someone who doesn't know how to read, don't give your heart to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just like you wouldn't give a book to someone who doesn't know how to read, don't give your heart to someone who doesn't know how to love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[While the operating results are disappointing, we made significant progress toward executing our strategic plans during the quarter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35762]]></link><description><![CDATA[While the operating results are disappointing, we made significant progress toward executing our strategic plans during the quarter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35762</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you write it down, you have a better chance of making your dreams come true.

Each part of Scripture, both open and dark, teaches meekness and charity; and therefore he that keeps meekness and charity has the true understanding and perfection of all Scripture. Therefore, no simple man of wit should be afraid to study in the text of Scripture. And no cleric should be proud of the true understanding of Scripture, because understanding of Scripture without charity that keeps God's commandments, makes a man deeper damned... and pride and covetousness of clerics is the cause of [the Church's] blindness and heresy, and deprives them of the true understanding of Scripture.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sometimes life has a way of putting us on our backs to force us to look up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sometimes life has a way of putting us on our backs to force us to look up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/31372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11231]]></link><description><![CDATA[He had been, he said, an unconscionable time dying; but he hoped that they would excuse it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By nature's kindly disposition most questions which it is beyond a man's power to answer do not occur to him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52723]]></link><description><![CDATA[By nature's kindly disposition most questions which it is beyond a man's power to answer do not occur to him at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Children love to be alone because alone is where they know themselves, and where they dream. - The Man in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Children love to be alone because alone is where they know themselves, and where they dream. - The Man in the Water, 1994.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25485</guid></item></channel></rss>
