Common sense tells us this assumption is wrong -- and nothing in the Bible supports such a conclusion. Believing that God is the Lord of history, we believe that God is at work now in the development of industry and commerce throughout the world, in the experiments and researches of the scientists, in the deliberations of the United Nations, and in the course of events in Berlin and Havana, in Moscow and Peiping, and Detroit. One might say, then that He seems to be doing some very strange and contradictory things! But, though we cannot claim to know God's purpose in all this, we do believe that God acts in all these circumstances. The revolutionary changes of our time are not all a mistake: they are not taking place without God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6935</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How fallen, how changed From him, who, in the happy realms of light,  Clothed with transcendent brightness, didst outshine ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50653]]></link><description><![CDATA[How fallen, how changed From him, who, in the happy realms of light,  Clothed with transcendent brightness, didst outshine   Myriads, though bright.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream That this watch exists and has no watchmaker. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10581]]></link><description><![CDATA[The world embarrasses me, and I cannot dream That this watch exists and has no watchmaker.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10581</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who awaits much can expect little. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22714]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who awaits much can expect little.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22714</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wear the old coat and buy the new book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4642]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wear the old coat and buy the new book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4642</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The theme from here until after Labor Day is going to be more postponements, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35920]]></link><description><![CDATA[The theme from here until after Labor Day is going to be more postponements,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has to be tough because it changes the routine, the lifestyle the players are accustomed to.
