It is surely life itself that makes against belief in most cases. It is the contradiction in real life between any image of God as good -- whether God is "above", "beneath", or "within" -- that makes men atheists. Yet how few books and how few sermons touch on this basic problem! Our theological libraries are crammed with books devoted to every aspect of textual and higher criticism of the Bible; but of genuine theological thinking about the things which drive religion from men's hearts, there is appallingly little to be found. The archaeology of Christian origins seems largely to have replaced genuine theology.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6700</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A tunnel underneath the sea from Calais straight to Dover, Sir, The squeamish folks may cross by land from shore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48455]]></link><description><![CDATA[A tunnel underneath the sea from Calais straight to Dover, Sir, The squeamish folks may cross by land from shore to shore,  With sluices made to drown the French, if e'er they would come over, Sir,   Has long been talk'd of, till at length 'tis thought a monstrous bore.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The trouble with baseball is that it is not played the year round. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3741]]></link><description><![CDATA[The trouble with baseball is that it is not played the year round.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That appearance on earth as an individual is the crisis in the history both of Christ Himself and of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7717]]></link><description><![CDATA[That appearance on earth as an individual is the crisis in the history both of Christ Himself and of the humanity He saves and leads. The ministry of Jesus, therefore, culminating in His death, is essential to Paul's whole thought. If in certain aspects of his theology it is the death that bulks most largely -- because it seemed to him to be the purest and most moving expression of what the whole life meant -- he is quite aware that the ethical impulse given by the example and teaching of Jesus is of the very stuff of the Christian life. He alludes to the Gospel story but sparingly, but those who study his teaching most closely become aware that he is himself acting and speaking all through under the impulse of the life and teaching of Jesus. If he refuses to "know Christ after the flesh," it means that he will not risk a harking back to the temporary conditions of the Galilean ministry when the Spirit of Christ is clearly leading out into new fields. The issues of that ministry have been gathered up in the new experience of "Christ in me", and that experience gives a living Christ, who leads ever onward those who will adventure with Him, and not a prophet of the past, whose words might pass into a dead tradition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In order to get power and retain it, it is necessary to love power; but love of power is not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10783]]></link><description><![CDATA[In order to get power and retain it, it is necessary to love power; but love of power is not connected with goodness but with qualities that are the opposite of goodness, such as pride, cunning and cruelty]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin in this country has been always said to be rather calculating than impulsive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44253]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin in this country has been always said to be rather calculating than impulsive.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44253</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such crimes has superstition caused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such crimes has superstition caused.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50600</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're aware of the violations, they're aware we're following up on them and it looks like things are already starting ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40423]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're aware of the violations, they're aware we're following up on them and it looks like things are already starting to improve.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Westward the course of empire takes its way; The four first Acts already past,  A fifth shall close the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Westward the course of empire takes its way; The four first Acts already past,  A fifth shall close the Drama with the day;   Time's noblest offspring is the last.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For talk six times with the same single lady, And you may get the wedding dress ready. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26558]]></link><description><![CDATA[For talk six times with the same single lady, And you may get the wedding dress ready.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26558</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For glances beget ogles, ogles sighs, Sighs wishes, wishes words, and words a letter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48734]]></link><description><![CDATA[For glances beget ogles, ogles sighs, Sighs wishes, wishes words, and words a letter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48734</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The rational individualist is not the enemy of benevolence or civility, but their truest exemplar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52003]]></link><description><![CDATA[The rational individualist is not the enemy of benevolence or civility, but their truest exemplar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, butI couldn't give it up because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22195]]></link><description><![CDATA[It took me fifteen years to discover that I had no talent for writing, butI couldn't give it up because by then I was too famous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who complain that they make no progress in the life of prayer because they "cannot meditate" should examine, not ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7620]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who complain that they make no progress in the life of prayer because they "cannot meditate" should examine, not their capacity for meditation, but their capacity for suffering and love.

I would wish that all women -- girls even -- would read the Gospels and the letters of Paul. I wish that they were translated into all languages of all people. To make them understood is surely the first step. It may be that they might be ridiculed by many, but some would take them to heart. I long that the husbandman should sing portions of them to himself as he follows the plough, that the weaver should hum them to the tune of his shuttle, that the traveller should beguile with their stories the tedium of his journey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This past weekend we had a retreat with the board members and came up with a business plan to see ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41496]]></link><description><![CDATA[This past weekend we had a retreat with the board members and came up with a business plan to see where we are ... if we can move forward or have to close down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41496</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gloriously drunk, obey the important call. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gloriously drunk, obey the important call.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Opportunities are everywhere.
