What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Better late than never, but never late is better ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59291]]></link><description><![CDATA[Better late than never, but never late is better]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20690]]></link><description><![CDATA[Just as there is no loss of basic energy in the universe, so no thought or action is without its effects, present or ultimate, seen or unseen, felt or unfelt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20690</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence is not all that important in the exercise of power, and is often, in point of fact, useless. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52394]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence is not all that important in the exercise of power, and is often, in point of fact, useless.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52394</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sad part is, there will be no problem selling out those $1,000 parties.

Whatever intelligent creature lives not under this rule of love is so far fallen from the order of his creation, and is, till he returns to this eternal law of love, an apostate from God and incapable of the kingdom of Heaven. Now, if God is alone to be loved for Himself, then no creature is to be loved for itself; and so all self-love in every creature is absolutely condemned. And if all created beings are only to be loved in and for God, then my neighbour is to be loved as I love myself, and I am only to love myself as I love my neighbour or any other created being that is, only in and for God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our defense was dominant, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39906]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our defense was dominant,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45536]]></link><description><![CDATA[The joys of parents are secret, and so are their griefs and fears.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45536</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn simply by the exposure of living.
