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[McClellan (4-0) threw a great game.

Theoretically, man is said to be nothing but an animal with a highly developed cerebrum. At the same time, it is believed of this man that he is capable by science and technical devices of achieving whatever he wants. The deification which might have been thought to be finally overcome, returns as it were from behind, in the form of a deification of technical creativity to which not much less than omnipotence is ascribed. After mankind has done away with the pseudo-religion of race and blood, it is faced with the even greater danger of a technocratical pseudo-religion. There is no room for human personality, freedom and justice in either of these new religions of divine man. But the most dangerous of all must be the one which makes man at the same time nothing and God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Strange is our situation here upon earth.

Each of us comes for a short visit, not knowing why, yet sometimes seeming to a divine purpose. From the standpoint of daily life, however, there is one thing we do know: That we are here for the sake of others...for the countless unknown souls with whose fate we are connected by a bond of sympathy. Many times a day, I realize how much my outer and inner life is built upon the labors of people, both living and dead, and how earnestly I must exert myself in order to give in return as much as I have received.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One may sometimes tell a lie, but the grimace that accompanies it tells the truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63618]]></link><description><![CDATA[One may sometimes tell a lie, but the grimace that accompanies it tells the truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/63618</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every good painter paints what he is. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3367]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every good painter paints what he is.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Divine grace was never slow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49201]]></link><description><![CDATA[Divine grace was never slow.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49201</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Howe'er it be, it seems to me, 'Tis only noble to be good;  Kind hearts are more than coronets, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51699]]></link><description><![CDATA[Howe'er it be, it seems to me, 'Tis only noble to be good;  Kind hearts are more than coronets,   And simple faith than Norman blood.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51699</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12132]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12132</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Holy Saturday   When Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross, it was not the blood of a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8276]]></link><description><![CDATA[Holy Saturday   When Jesus Christ shed his blood on the cross, it was not the blood of a martyr; or the blood of one man for another; it was the life of God poured out to redeem the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where entity and quiddity, The ghosts of defunct bodies, fly. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2777]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where entity and quiddity, The ghosts of defunct bodies, fly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That 400-person party would cost about $500 a head, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32947]]></link><description><![CDATA[That 400-person party would cost about $500 a head,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/32947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many people treat their bodies as if they were rented from Hertz-something they are using to get around in but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4436]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many people treat their bodies as if they were rented from Hertz-something they are using to get around in but nothing they genuinely care about understanding.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4436</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should compete with most anyone in the league. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39962]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should compete with most anyone in the league.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/39962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that cannot obey, cannot command. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12397]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that cannot obey, cannot command.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We fluctuate long between love and hatred before we can arrive at tranquillity ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59561]]></link><description><![CDATA[We fluctuate long between love and hatred before we can arrive at tranquillity]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I was just sad.

Wrath, which is a fourth birth from these three, can have no existence till one or all of these three are contradicted, or have something done to them that is contrary to their will. These four properties generate their own torment. They have no outward cause, nor any inward power of altering themselves. And therefore all self or nature must be in this state until some supernatural good comes into it, or gets a birth in it. Whilst man indeed lives among the vanities of time, his covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath may be in a tolerable state, may hold him to a mixture of peace and trouble; they may have at times their gratifications as well as their torments. But when death has put an end to the vanity of all earthly cheats, the soul that is not born again of the Supernatural Word and Spirit of God, must find itself unavoidably devoured and shut up in its own insatiable, unchangeable, self-tormenting covetousness, envy, pride, and wrath.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6937</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If o'er the dial glides a shade, redeem The time for lo! it passes like a dream;  But if ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58305]]></link><description><![CDATA[If o'er the dial glides a shade, redeem The time for lo! it passes like a dream;  But if 'tis all a blank, then mark the loss   Of hours unblest by shadows from the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58305</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tremble, ye tyrants, for ye can not die. [Fr., Tremblez, tyrans, vous etes immortels.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59963]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tremble, ye tyrants, for ye can not die. [Fr., Tremblez, tyrans, vous etes immortels.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59963</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24478]]></link><description><![CDATA[The final test of a leader is that he leaves behind him in other men the conviction and the will to carry on. -Walter Lippmann.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/181]]></link><description><![CDATA[No friend to Love like a long voyage at sea.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/181</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All of those guys were supposed to come over here with him and I think that's one of the reasons ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41380]]></link><description><![CDATA[All of those guys were supposed to come over here with him and I think that's one of the reasons he doesn't want to come.

We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another...
