It was perfectly dry in spite of the fact that it had been immersed in water for centuries. The same is true of many people in the Western world. For centuries they have been surrounded by Christianity; they live immersed in the waters of its benefits. And yet it has not penetrated their hearts; they do not love it.

The fact is that a demythologized modernism is overwhelming the traditional Christ-centered, mystical faith. For the modern skeptics are not the apostates, village atheists, or political revolutionaries of old. The leaders of today's challenge to traditional beliefs are principally theologians -- those in whose care the church entrusts its sacred teachings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929   From my many years experience I can unhesitatingly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7953]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929   From my many years experience I can unhesitatingly say that the cross bears those who bear the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7953</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Broadly speaking, I learned to recognize sin as the refusal to live up to the enlightenment we possess: to know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6415]]></link><description><![CDATA[Broadly speaking, I learned to recognize sin as the refusal to live up to the enlightenment we possess: to know the right order of values and deliberately to choose the lower ones: to know that, however much these values may differ with different people at different stages of spiritual growth, for one's self there must be no compromise with that which one knows to be the lower value.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The income tax has made more liars out of the American people than golf has.
