This fact ought not to be taken to imply, however, that such an effort is unjustifiable and necessarily useless. The distinctiveness of the Biblical approach is its immediacy. The theistic proofs for God's existence constitute a laborious, painstaking, and patient justification of theism. They attempt to set forth in rational argument what the soul grasps intuitively. But for the Bible, the deepest proof of God's existence is just life itself. The knowledge of God and man's knowledge of himself are closely intertwined. If only God could be written off neatly and cleanly, how simple things would be! But the hound of heaven pads after us all. He does not let us go. There is no escaping him...; when least expected, he closes in. The explanation for this is man's creation in the image of God. His identity is known theologically, in relation to the God who as a man in his true significance cannot survive permanently in isolation from his Maker. Without God, man is the chance product of unthinking fate, and so of little worth. The current loss of identity and the emergence of the faceless man in today's culture are testimony to the effects of losing our God. The knowledge of God is given in the same movement in which we know ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6814</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I played a blank tape on full volume.

It may fill him with a self-righteousness which rejoices in its own superiority to those who have had no like experience. It may move a man to a Pharisaic self-isolation. There have in fact been not a few so-called conversions as a result of which a man has left the Church to belong to some smaller and holier body. The plain truth is that such a one should very seriously examine himself, if he finds what he regards as his Christian experience separating him from his fellow-men, or his fellow-Christians.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7566</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If folly were griefe every house would weepe. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49508]]></link><description><![CDATA[If folly were griefe every house would weepe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19891]]></link><description><![CDATA[His house was perfect, whether you liked food, or sleep, or work, or story-telling, or singing, or just sitting and thinking, best, or a pleasant mixture of them all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that will take the bird, must not skare it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49413]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that will take the bird, must not skare it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49413</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Make a customer, not a sale. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Make a customer, not a sale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is nothing so wretched or foolish as to anticipate misfortunes.
