This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That is too much to wish on anybody, but it's true that our dot-com yuppies think a depression is just ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62609]]></link><description><![CDATA[That is too much to wish on anybody, but it's true that our dot-com yuppies think a depression is just a pothole in the road.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62609</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If we think that Jesus did not rise, but "lives" and "reigns" only in his memories and imaginations, and is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6859]]></link><description><![CDATA[If we think that Jesus did not rise, but "lives" and "reigns" only in his memories and imaginations, and is not actively and objectively "there" in the place of power, irrespective of whether he is acknowledged or not, we should give up hope of our own rising, and of Jesus' public return, and admit that the idea of churches and Christians being sustained by the Spirit-giving energy of a living Lord was never more than a pleasing illusion. And, in that case, we ought frankly to affirm that, though the New Testament is an amazing witness to the religious creativity of the human spirit, its actual message is more wrong than right, more misleading than helpful; and we must reconstruct our gospel accordingly. Only a weak, muddled, or cowardly mind will hesitate to do this.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As the genuine religious impulse becomes dominant, adoration more and more takes charge.

"I come to seek God because I need Him", may be an adequate formula for prayer.

I've learned thatyou can tell a lot about a person by the way he/she handles these three things:a rainy day, lost luggage, and tangled Christmas tree lights. I've learned thatregardless of your relationship with your parents, you'll miss them when they'regone from your life. I've learned that making a living is not the same thing asmaking a life. I've learned that life sometimes gives you a second chance. I've learned that you shouldn't go through life with a catcher's mitt on bothhands; you need to be able to throw some things back. I've learned that wheneverI decide something with an open heart, I usually make the right decision. I'velearned that even when I have pains, I don't have to be one. I've learned thatevery day you should reach out and touch someone. People love a warm hug, orjust a friendly pat on the back. I've learned that I still have a lot to learn. I've learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what youdid, but people will never forget how you made them feel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25222</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64615]]></link><description><![CDATA[I'd rather try and fail than not try at all, as they say.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64615</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God strikes not with both hands, for to the sea he made heavens, and to rivers foords. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49276]]></link><description><![CDATA[God strikes not with both hands, for to the sea he made heavens, and to rivers foords.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49276</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A woman is most merciless when shame goads on her hate. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50426]]></link><description><![CDATA[A woman is most merciless when shame goads on her hate.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50426</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But sometimes you have to do what you have to do, ...
