Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is a sexually transmitted disease. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21764]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is a sexually transmitted disease.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21764</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I once had a rose named after me and I was very flattered.

He is oppressed by a sense of impotence in the grasp of merciless forces which he can neither overcome nor escape. These forces may be Frankenstein monsters of man's own creation, or they may be horrors outside his conscious control; either way, he is intimidated by the vastness of those fateful currents which threaten to sweep him on to destruction, whether he will or no. And to modern man in his frustration and despair, the full-orbed gospel of Christ, as Paul presents it to the Colossians, is the one message of hope. Christ crucified and risen is Lord of all; all the forces in the universe, well-disposed and ill-disposed, are subject to Him. To be united to Christ by faith is to throw off the thraldom of hostile powers, to enjoy perfect freedom, to gain the mastery over the dominion of evil -- because Christ's victory is ours.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16035]]></link><description><![CDATA[When firmness is sufficient, rashness is unnecessary.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16035</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's prophets of the Beautiful, These Poets were. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46845]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's prophets of the Beautiful, These Poets were.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46845</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We consider this normal revenge against Israeli aggression. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28319]]></link><description><![CDATA[We consider this normal revenge against Israeli aggression.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is time for work.

The foreground of prayer is the intense, immediate desire for a certain blessing which seems to be absolutely necessary for the soul to have; the background of prayer is the quiet, earnest desire that the will of God, whatever it may be, should be done. What a picture is the perfect prayer of Jesus in Gethsemane! In front burns the strong desire to escape death and to live; but behind there stands, calm and strong, the craving of the whole life for the doing of the will of God... Leave out the foreground, let there be no expression of the will of him who prays, and there is left a pure submission which is almost fatalism. Leave out the background, let there be no acceptance of the will of God, and the prayer is only an expression of self-will, a petulant claiming of the uncorrected choice of him who prays. Only when the two are there together, the special desire resting on the universal submission, the universal submission opening into the special desire, is the picture perfect and the prayer complete.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nay, but make haste, the better foot before. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18783]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nay, but make haste, the better foot before.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18783</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The whole secret of existence is to have no fear.
