His existence is both objectively and subjectively evident. It is necessary logically because our assumption of order, design, and rationality rests upon it. It is necessary morally because there is no explanation for the shape of morality apart from it. It is necessary emotionally because the human experience requires an immediate and ultimate environment. It is necessary personally because the exhaustion of all material possibilities still cannot give satisfaction to the heart. The deepest proof for God's existence, apart from history, is just life itself. God has created man in his image, and men cannot elude the implications of this fact. Everywhere their identity pursues them. Ultimately, there is no escape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095   The truth is that so long as we hold both sides ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8604]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Wulfstan, Bishop of Worcester, 1095   The truth is that so long as we hold both sides of the proposition together they contain nothing inconsistent with orthodoxy, but as soon as one is divorced from the other, it is bound to prove a stumbling-block. "Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spake full well, in language quaint and olden, One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine,  When he call'd the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10993]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spake full well, in language quaint and olden, One who dwelleth by the castled Rhine,  When he call'd the flowers, so blue and golden,   Stars that on earth's firmament do shine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10993</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We tend to scoff at the beliefs of the ancients.
