A lofty spirit excites admiration by its profoundness; but only a right spirit achieves salvation and happiness by its stability and integrity. Do not conform your ideas to those of the world. Scorn the "intellectual" as much as the world esteems it. What men consider intellectual is a certain facility to produce brilliant thoughts. Nothing is more vain. We make an idol of our intellect as a woman who believes herself beautiful worships her face. We take pride in our own thoughts. We must reject not only human cleverness, but also human prudence, which seems so important and so profitable. Then we may enter -- like little children, with candor and innocence of worldly ways -- into the simplicity of faith; and with humility and a horror of sin we may enter into the holy passion of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wind buffs up empty bladders; opinion, fools. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1486]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wind buffs up empty bladders; opinion, fools.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1486</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that once deceives is ever suspected. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49381]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that once deceives is ever suspected.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe every human has a finite number of heartbeats.

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></channel></rss>
