The deep, seemingly indestructible awareness of something like homesickness for God is the natural basis for believing in some kind of "fall" -- we seem to remember something better and to be possessed to recapture it. There appears to be a gap, a chasm, between God and us which must be crossed if we are to be in relationship with him. We know that our own wrongdoing can widen the chasm: we are not so sure what will close it. Yet our first great need is not for a set of rules about how to be good: it is for something to bridge that yawning canyon between us and the God we dimly seem to remember, but cannot entirely forget.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The great unity which true science seeks is found only by beginning with our knowledge of God, and coming down ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7792]]></link><description><![CDATA[The great unity which true science seeks is found only by beginning with our knowledge of God, and coming down from Him along the stream of causation to every fact and event that affects us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7792</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of all smells, bread: of all tasts, salt. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49673]]></link><description><![CDATA[Of all smells, bread: of all tasts, salt.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49673</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I just don't know what it was. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28519]]></link><description><![CDATA[I just don't know what it was.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even though it looked like an easy game, he went deep into the count on a lot of hitters.
