We must affirm both the mystery and God. The paradox remained, but now, at least, Job knew that it belonged there -- that it is built into the moral and physical orders, and into the very nature of God as He has permitted us humans to perceive Him. In a world where the universal principle is cause/effect, the book of Job reminds us that the principle is a reflection of the mysterious, self-revealing God. It is subsumed under Him, however, and He cannot be subsumed under it. The God-speeches remind us that a Person, not a principle, is Lord.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6652</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Religion is an insult to human dignity.

It can happen to anyone who is prepared to abandon proof-texts and a closed attitude of mind, and allow not merely the stories but the quality of the Figure Who exists behind the stories to meet him afresh. Neat snippets of a few verses are of course useful in their way, but the overall sweep and much of the significance of the Gospel narratives are lost to us unless we are prepared to read the Gospels through, not once but several times.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They laugh that win! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51457]]></link><description><![CDATA[They laugh that win!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51457</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/870]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is during our darkest moments that we must focus to see the light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/870</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Simplicity is making the journey of this life with just baggage enough.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20055]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have a fine sense of the ridiculous, but no sense of humour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20055</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/228]]></link><description><![CDATA[The harvest of old age is the recollection and abundance of blessing previously secured.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/228</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust the rest to the gods. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50374]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust the rest to the gods.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My way of joking is to tell the truth.
