And why is Thy Church so uncomfortable with its men of action? And why do men of spirit so often have to work apart from, and even against it?

We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as you began to feel that you could make good use of time, there was no time left to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40818]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as you began to feel that you could make good use of time, there was no time left to you.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40818</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We journey on in life through varied hazards and misfortunes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51838]]></link><description><![CDATA[We journey on in life through varied hazards and misfortunes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51838</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of François de Sales, Bishop of Geneva, Teacher, 1622   A really patient man neither complains nor seeks ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7004]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of François de Sales, Bishop of Geneva, Teacher, 1622   A really patient man neither complains nor seeks to be pitied; he will speak simply and truly of his trouble, without exaggerating its weight or bemoaning himself.
