But, in addition, God affects us by determining that in the universe certain causes shall bring about certain effects. Cause and effect is, therefore, the operation of God through normal channels rather than through special channels. We have our normal way of acting when we drive a car. We can more or less put it in "automatic pilot" while we carry on a conversation, but when an emergency arises, we take conscious personal control. I have a hunch that God has something for which this automatic pilot will serve as an illustration. That is, His routine way of operating is cause and effect, and He is in control of it, so that when cause and effect affects us, then God is affecting us. That is what the Apostle Paul means in Galatians when he says, "Do not kid yourself -- God is not blind. What you do, you will get paid for." The causes which we have set in operation by our own personal choices will inevitably bring about certain results. But God is involved because God makes cause and effect to work.

"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[He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38824]]></link><description><![CDATA[He was wont to say that if he had read as much as other men he should have known no more than other men.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66760]]></link><description><![CDATA[All these primary impulses, not easily described in words, are the springs of man's actions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66760</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Enjoy life.
