In my view, that means to speak on the one hand metaphysically, and on the other individualistically. Neither of these is relevant to the Bible message or to the man of today. Is it not true to say that individualistic concern for personal salvation has almost completely left us all? Are we not really under the impression that there are more important things than bothering about such a matter? (Perhaps not more important than the matter itself, but more than bothering about it). I know it sounds pretty monstrous to say that. But is it not, at bottom, even Biblical?... It is not with the next world that we are concerned, but with this world as created and preserved and set subject to laws and atoned for and made new. What is above the world is, in the Gospel, intended to exist for this world -- I mean that not in the anthropocentric sense of liberal, pietistic, ethical theology, but in the Bible sense of the creation and of the incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection of Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've had bad luck with our kids--they've all grown up. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5965]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've had bad luck with our kids--they've all grown up.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64041]]></link><description><![CDATA[To myself I am only a child playing on the beach, while vast oceans of truth lie undiscovered before me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64041</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're going to have to be in a scoring race.

It is a well that has no bottom.   St. John Chrysostom  September 14, 2002 Feast of the Holy Cross    Learned men and great scholars have devoted great effort and prolonged study to the Holy Scriptures... employing the gifts which God gives to every person who has the use of reason. This knowledge is good... but it does not bring with it any spiritual experience of God, for these graces are granted only to those who have a great love for Him. This fountain of love issues from our Lord alone, and no stranger may approach it. But knowledge of this kind is common to good and bad alike, since it can be acquired without love, ... and men of a worldly life are sometimes more knowledgeable than many true Christians although they do not possess this love. St. Paul describes this kind of knowledge: "If I had full knowledge of all things and knew all secrets, but had no love, I should be nothing." Some people who possess this knowledge become proud and misuse it in order to increase their personal reputation, worldly rank, honours and riches, when they should use it humbly to the praise of God and for the benefit of their fellow Christians in true charity. St. Paul says of this kind of knowledge: "Knowledge by itself stirs the heart with pride, but united to love it turns to edification." By itself this knowledge is like water, tasteless and cold. But if those who have it will offer it humbly to our Lord and ask for His grace, He will turn the water into wine with His blessing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Raven's house is built with reeds,-- Sing woe, and alas is me!  And the Raven's couch is spread ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52980]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Raven's house is built with reeds,-- Sing woe, and alas is me!  And the Raven's couch is spread with weeds,   High on the hollow tree;    And the Raven himself, telling his beads     In penance for his past misdeeds,      Upon the top I see.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52980</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64571]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy are those who dare courageously to defend what they love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fair daffadils, we weep to see You haste away so soone;  As yet the early-rising sun   Has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10970]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fair daffadils, we weep to see You haste away so soone;  As yet the early-rising sun   Has not attained its noone.    . . . .     We have short time to stay as you,      We have as short a spring;       As quick a growth to meet decay        As you or anything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19399]]></link><description><![CDATA[That men do not learn very much from the lessons of history is the most important of all the lessons that History has to teach.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is one word in America that says it all, and that word is, 'You never know.' ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57668]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is one word in America that says it all, and that word is, 'You never know.']]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57668</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Civilization is a method of living, an attitude of equal respect for all men ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37171]]></link><description><![CDATA[Civilization is a method of living, an attitude of equal respect for all men]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are talking about patterns of behavior.
