It cannot make itself the slave of men, not even though the men are Peter and Paul and John; no, not even though it were the Son of Man Himself. It resents dictation, not willfully nor wantonly, but because it must; and it resents it all the more when it claims to be inspired. If, therefore, the Atonement can only be received by those who are prepared from the threshold to acknowledge the inspiration and the consequent authority of Scripture, it can never be received by modern men at all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8006</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We haven't played in 10 days.

The trouble with steeling yourself against the harshness of reality is that the same steel that secures your life against being destroyed secures your life also against being opened up and transformed by the holy power that life itself comes from. You can even prevail on your own. But you cannot become human on your own.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8420</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3012]]></link><description><![CDATA[And the house, when it was in building, was built of stone made ready before it was brought thither: so that there was neither hammer nor axe nor any tool of iron heard in the house, while it was in building.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3012</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too good for great things and too great for good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62329]]></link><description><![CDATA[Too good for great things and too great for good.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62329</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The gods Grow angry with your patience.

And when thus I look at Him, what do I learn? First of all, the true divinity of Christ Himself. I cannot doubt what is His own conception of His own personality. Through everything He does, through everything He says, there shines the quiet, intense radiance of conscious Godhead. Again, I say, it is not a word or two which He utters, though He does say things which make known His self-consciousness, but it is a certain sense of originalness, of being, as it were, behind the processes of things -- this is what has impressed mankind in Jesus, and been the real power of their often puzzled but never abandoned faith in His Divinity. He has appeared to men, in some way, as He appears to us today, to be not merely the channel but the fountain of Love and Wisdom and Power, of Pity and Inspiration and Hope: The wonderful thing about this sense of Divinity as it appears in Jesus is its naturalness, the absence of surprise or of any feeling of violence. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that hath not the craft, let him shut up shop. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49356]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that hath not the craft, let him shut up shop.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Through her re-enactments of the stereotypical ways in which women and the female body have typically been depicted, she drew ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34432]]></link><description><![CDATA[Through her re-enactments of the stereotypical ways in which women and the female body have typically been depicted, she drew attention to the power of media images to shape ideas of female identity,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34432</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The government is becoming the family of last resort. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27280]]></link><description><![CDATA[The government is becoming the family of last resort.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every day is a new opportunity.
