We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66078]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything is theoretically impossible, until it is done.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66078</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In today's complex and fast-moving world, what we need even more than foresight or hindsight is insight ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16460]]></link><description><![CDATA[In today's complex and fast-moving world, what we need even more than foresight or hindsight is insight]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16460</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fate of nations is intimately bound up with their powers of reproduction.

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its flavor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens [reveals] God when a man's mind works that way; things all have this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  To preach the Gospel requires that the preacher should ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  To preach the Gospel requires that the preacher should believe that he is sent to those whom he is addressing at the moment, because God has among them those whom He is at the moment calling; it requires that the speaker should expect a response.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7485</guid></item></channel></rss>
