This, I believe, is partly due to man's enormous technical successes, which make him feel master of the human situation. But it is also partly due to our scholars and experts. By the time they have finished with their dissection of the New Testament and with their explaining away as "myth" all that they find disquieting or unacceptable to the modern mind, the Christian way of life is little more than humanism with a slight tinge of religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even at the turning o' the tide. -King Henry V.

The surest symbol of spiritual earnestness will be the checkbook, the affections, and the ego-drive surrendered to Him. A disciple must have discipline. He must not be afraid of being asked by God for some of the time, the money, and the pleasure he has been in the habit of calling his "own". This does not mean that there will not be time for the family, and time for some healthy diversion. But it does mean that we are never -- on vacation, or wherever we may be -- exempt from our primary commitment to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it, isas one who plows but does not sow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21704]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whoever acquires knowledge but does not practice it, isas one who plows but does not sow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21704</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not completely finalized, but I talked with Steve (Wednesday) and he has given me a proxy to go ahead. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/30306]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not completely finalized, but I talked with Steve (Wednesday) and he has given me a proxy to go ahead.

To imagine, then, at the end of this life we shall cease to exist as conscious beings, that our characters, our personalities, will fall back into some boundless being, instead of becoming more and more definite, more and more individual, is certainly not to exalt God; for it is founded on the belief, either that God is now belittled by our present individuality, or that our present individuality is a mere delusion. In the latter case God, whom we find in the depths of our souls, is doubtless also a delusion, for if the self is not real it is no respectable witness on whose testimony we can accept God. Our deepest mature conviction is that finite and infinity interpenetrate, as time and eternity interpenetrate, and our problems must be solved in the light of that conviction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is cruel, you know, that music should be so beautiful.
