In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64380]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody cares how much you know, until they know how much you care.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They were gonna make him co-captain and what not and now we are walking in memory and honor of him. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37776]]></link><description><![CDATA[They were gonna make him co-captain and what not and now we are walking in memory and honor of him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37776</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The tree that growes slowly, keepes it selfe for another. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49927]]></link><description><![CDATA[The tree that growes slowly, keepes it selfe for another.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49927</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All success consists in this: You are doing something for somebody - benefiting humanity - and the feeling of success ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55231]]></link><description><![CDATA[All success consists in this: You are doing something for somebody - benefiting humanity - and the feeling of success comes from the consciousness of this. -Elbert Hubbard.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51314]]></link><description><![CDATA[Smooth runs the water where the brook is deep.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51314</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A soul without a high aim is like a ship without a rudder. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22273]]></link><description><![CDATA[A soul without a high aim is like a ship without a rudder.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22273</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47871]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rich man's wealth is his strong city: the destruction of the poor is their poverty.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47871</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17271]]></link><description><![CDATA[The poor don't know that their function in life is to exercise our generosity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43124]]></link><description><![CDATA[We may pretend that we're basically moral people who make mistakes, but the whole of history proves otherwise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43124</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thank God, our Christian chance is not permanently gone from us [in world affiars].

Ecclesiastics seems for the most part to have failed, failed both man and God; but God has not failed, Jesus has not failed. The God-man still remains the only leader into cooperation whose wisdom is sufficient for a permanent, competent, and free Society. The dictators and would-be dictators will not do. They overreach themselves. Eventually they will destroy one another, and kill off most of us. But even that disaster will not eradicate the desire of men and women to lay down lives for that which is more than themselves. Men will continue to demand not the freedom from that degree of unity for which the dictatorships stand, but rather a finer, more noble, more perceptive kind of unity: a human solidarity which is not nationalistic but world-embracing, a human integration which in aim and purpose is not secularist but spiritual. What the world unwittingly is groping after is allegiance to the eternal, the compassionate, the completely integrating Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6695</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no end.

I am referring to the almost total ignorance of the content and implication of the Christian Faith shown by many "clever" people today. Frankly, I find it horrifying to discover that men who are experts in their own line -- in astronomy, genetics, or nuclear physics, for example -- have no adult knowledge of what the Church of Christ stands for, and a complete blank ignorance of what the Church is achieving today. It is the more horrifying because people who rightly respect the expert for his knowledge in his own field have no idea that he has not carefully examined and reluctantly discarded Christianity; but in all probability he has never studied it at all!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7853</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are extending their mission through September 2006 to take advantage of having such capable resources still healthy and in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35710]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are extending their mission through September 2006 to take advantage of having such capable resources still healthy and in excellent position to continue their adventures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11883]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not the voting that's democracy, it's the counting.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best antidote I have found is to yearn for something.
