Expressed more sharply, he has a strong sense of the Creator-creature distinction, never of merging or absorption. Or, to put it more sharply still, a Christian has a sense of his moral sin and not just of his metaphysical smallness in the face of the beyond. The dilemma for man is not who he is but what he has done. His predicament is not that he is small, but that he is sinful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6333</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The market was really thin throughout the afternoon, with a continuation of profit-taking from yesterday, but then U.S. markets came ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35007]]></link><description><![CDATA[The market was really thin throughout the afternoon, with a continuation of profit-taking from yesterday, but then U.S. markets came back and capital flowed in.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35007</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  I fear that many people seek ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6289]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of James Hannington, Bishop of Eastern Equatorial Africa, Martyr in Uganda, 1885  I fear that many people seek to hear God solely as a device for securing their own safety, comfort and righteousness. For those who busy themselves to know the will of God, however, it is still true that "those who want to save their life will lose it." My extreme preoccupation with knowing God's will for me may only indicate, contrary to what is often thought, that I am overconcerned with myself, not a Christlike interest in the well-being of others or in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ye are the light of the world.

Whether for the Church or for ourselves, let us not take ourselves into our own hands, or choose our own lot. "My times are in Thy hand." He loveth the Church, which He died to purchase, His own Body, and all the members of the Body, better than we can; He loveth us better and more wisely than we ourselves He who made us loveth us better than we who unmade ourselves; He who died for us, better than we who destroy ourselves: He who would sanctify us for a Holy Temple unto Himself, better than we who have defiled what He has hallowed. Fear we not, therefore, anything which threateneth, shrink we not back from anything which falleth on us. Rather let us, though with trembling, hold up our hearts to Him, to make them His Own, in what way He willeth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In deciding which passages he will accept, [the "rational skeptic"] proceeds on the a priori assumption that miracles can't happen. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8272]]></link><description><![CDATA[In deciding which passages he will accept, [the "rational skeptic"] proceeds on the a priori assumption that miracles can't happen. So he automatically writes off any Biblical account of a wondrous happening which suggests that there is an order of reality transcending the observable regularities of nature and occasionally breaking in upon them. Nor is rational skepticism content with jettisoning the Bible's miracle stories. It also dismisses other passages on the grounds that they reflect the ignorance and prejudice of a particular age, or the propaganda interests of the Church at a particular stage of its development. Its basic rule of Biblical interpretation is: "When in doubt, throw it out." And the highest scores in the game of radical reductionism are awarded to pedagogues who find the most novel and far-fetched reasons for doubting that any part of the Bible really means what it says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65448]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you're losing your soul and you know it, then you've still got a soul left to lose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65448</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fame comes only when deserved, and then is as inevitable as destiny, for it is destiny. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fame comes only when deserved, and then is as inevitable as destiny, for it is destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Saints & Martyrs of England   Old truths must be constantly re-stated if they are not to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6294]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Saints & Martyrs of England   Old truths must be constantly re-stated if they are not to be forgotten. To Homer, the dawn was "rosy-fingered"; to Shakespeare, it was "in russet mantle clad"; to Housman, "the ship of sunrise burning". The scientist can explain exactly why the sky looks as it does in the early morning, the physiologist why we perceive as we do. Yet no one suggests that there is no dawn at all, or that its appearance has changed over the centuries, or that any one of these percipients was mad or deceitful. Why should our knowledge of the Creator be less capable of variety and development than our knowledge of any aspect of Creation?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6294</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our national debt, after all, is an internal debt, owed not only by the nation but to the nation.
