We are speaking of the proper relationship to the living God who exists. In order to understand the problems of our generation, we should be very alive to this distinction. Semantics (linguistic analysis) makes up the heart of modern philosophical study in the Anglo-Saxon world. Though the Christian cannot accept this study as a total philosophy, there is no reason why he should not be glad for the concept that words need to be defined before they can be used in communication. As Christians, we must understand that there is no word so meaningless as the word "god" until it is defined. No word has been used to reach absolutely opposite concepts as much as the word "god". Consequently, let us not be confused. There is much "spirituality" about us today that would relate itself to the word god or to the idea god; but this is not what we are talking about. Biblical truth and spirituality is not a relationship to the word god, or to the idea god. It is a relationship to the one who is there, which is an entirely different concept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6219</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wonder is the basis of worship ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wonder is the basis of worship]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is not growing like a tree In bulk, doth make man better be;  Or standing long an oak, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18386]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is not growing like a tree In bulk, doth make man better be;  Or standing long an oak, three hundred year,   To fall a log at last, dry, bald, and sere:    A lily of a day     Is fairer far in May,      Although it falls and die that night--       It was the plant and flower of Light.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/972]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can tell more about a person by what he says about others than you can by what others say about him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/972</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let a man turn to his own childhood -- no further -- if he will renew his sense of remoteness, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5985]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let a man turn to his own childhood -- no further -- if he will renew his sense of remoteness, and of the mystery of change.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5985</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17071]]></link><description><![CDATA[May the dreams of your past be the reality of your future]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This book gave me back the passionate optimism of my youth.

One of his workmen observed his frequent visits to the spot and decided to watch his movements. He soon discovered the secret of the hidden treasure, and digging down, came to the lump of gold, and stole it. The Miser, on his next visit, found the hole empty and began to tear his hair and to make loud lamentations. A neighbor, seeing him overcome with grief and learning the cause, said, Pray do not grieve so; but go and take a stone, and place it in the hole, and fancy that the gold is still lying there. It will do you quite the same service; for when the gold was there, you had it not, as you did not make the slightest use of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1542</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17247]]></link><description><![CDATA[The way you get meaning into your life is to devote yourself to loving others, devote yourself to your community around you, and devote yourself to creating something that gives you purpose and meaning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17247</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it just shows the strength and popularity of the Derby at this point.
