Instead of the living, loving, self-manifesting God of the Old Testament Israel now took hold of the abstract idea of the unity, or rather the unicity, of God, as if that were God. Before -- when they lived in communion with God, when God was known to them as a Person, speaking, acting, blessing, who had chosen them, who was educating them, and who was going to fulfill His promises -- they declared, in opposition to the idolatrous nations that surrounded them, that this God of Israel was one God, that there are not many gods; but when they lost communion with God, in order to show what distinguished them from the nations of the earth, and especially from Christians, they emphasized that God in Himself was only one Person, and not as He is revealed to us in the Scripture: Sender, Sent, and Spirit. It is the boast of the modern Jewish synagogue that their great mission is to testify to the world the unity of God. But it is a striking fact that the Gentile nations who have, since the dispersion of Israel, been converted from idolatry, have been influenced, not by the synagogue, but by the congregations of Jesus Christ, and were baptized in the name of the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost... It is one thing to believe in justification by faith, it is another thing to be justified by faith; and so it is one thing to believe in God, who is One, and it is another to believe in the numerical abstraction, in the mere idea of unicity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7341</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It has been my observation and experience, and that of my family, that nothing human works out well. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54032]]></link><description><![CDATA[It has been my observation and experience, and that of my family, that nothing human works out well.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54032</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In Argentina in particular you have seen a pickup in volatility over the last couple of months, and it has ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34537]]></link><description><![CDATA[In Argentina in particular you have seen a pickup in volatility over the last couple of months, and it has to do with the fact that it has higher yields available and longer duration and makes it prone to volatility.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In my many years of coaching, he is the most focused in terms of the important aspects of his life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57457]]></link><description><![CDATA[In my many years of coaching, he is the most focused in terms of the important aspects of his life and his goals.

Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the earliest drawings of the fractal curve, few clues to the underlying mathematical structure will be seen. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3956]]></link><description><![CDATA[At the earliest drawings of the fractal curve, few clues to the underlying mathematical structure will be seen.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3956</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame and riches are fleeting.
