I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry; we put our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58850]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is only our bad temper that we put down to being tired or worried or hungry; we put our good temper down to ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Learning is the indispensable investment required for success in the 'information age' we are entering ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23025]]></link><description><![CDATA[Learning is the indispensable investment required for success in the 'information age' we are entering]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23025</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Around his form his loose long robe was thrown, And wrapt a breast bestowed on heaven alone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2725]]></link><description><![CDATA[Around his form his loose long robe was thrown, And wrapt a breast bestowed on heaven alone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2725</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942    Here is the great truth that, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7535]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wilson Carlile, Priest, Founder of the Church Army, 1942    Here is the great truth that, only when we see things in the light of God, do we see things as they are. It is only when we see things in the light of God that we see what things are really important, and what things are not. These things seem vastly important, things like ambition, and prestige, and money and gain, lose all their value and importance when they are seen in the light of God. Pleasures and habits and social customs which seem permissible enough, are seen for the dangerous things they are when they are seen in the light of God. Things which seem evils, hardship, toil, discipline, unpopularity, even persecution, are seen in their glory when they are seen in the light of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7535</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do anything that is worth doing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22197]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only so far as a man believes strongly, mightily, can he act cheerfully, or do anything that is worth doing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks  A various language. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43794]]></link><description><![CDATA[To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks  A various language.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43794</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Did you ever think about life as a metaphor for television? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58824]]></link><description><![CDATA[Did you ever think about life as a metaphor for television?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is no such thing as truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57103]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is no such thing as truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Take your life in your own hands and what happens?

So, if God puts up with it for the sake of some good He foresees for you, and if you are willing to suffer what God suffers, and to take what comes to you through Him, then whatever it is, it becomes divine in itself; shame becomes honor, bitterness becomes sweet, and gross darkness, clear light. Everything takes its savor from God and becomes divine; everything that happens betrays God when a man's mind works that way. Things have all this one taste; and therefore God is the same to this man alike in life's bitterest moments and sweetest pleasures.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8402</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/876]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity is the diamond dust Heaven polishes its jewels with.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/876</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We thought it would do OK, but we weren't sure.
