If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1040]]></link><description><![CDATA[He that gives good advice, builds with one hand; he that gives good counsel and example, builds with both; but he that gives good admonition and bad example, builds with one hand and pulls down with the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["You are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life ...Your entire life ...Not just the life ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3712]]></link><description><![CDATA["You are the only person alive who has sole custody of your life ...Your entire life ...Not just the life of your mind, but the life of your heart.Not just your bank account, but your soul."~ Anna Quindlen]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3712</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you think you can win, you can win.

Well it is for the world that He was indeed a God of Battles. Well it is for us that He was to all the rest only a rival and a foe. In the ordinary way, it would have been only too easy for them to have achieved the desolate disaster of conceiving Him as a friend. It would have been only too easy for them to have seen Him stretching out His hands in love and reconciliation, embracing Baal and kissing the painted face of Astarte... It would have been easy enough for His worshipers to follow the enlightened course of Syncretism and the pooling of all the pagan traditions. It is obvious indeed that His followers were always sliding down this easy slope; and it required the almost demoniac energy of certain inspired demagogues, who testified to the divine unity in words that are still like winds of inspiration and ruin, [to stop them]. The more we really understand of the ancient conditions that contributed to the final culture of the Faith, the more we shall have a real and even a realistic reverence for the greatness of the Prophets of Israel. As it was, while the whole world melted into this mass of confused mythology, this Deity who is called tribal and narrow, precisely because He was what is called tribal and narrow, preserved the primary religion of all mankind. He was tribal enough to be universal. He was as narrow as the universe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8135</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are a terrible lot of lies going round the world, and the worst of it is that they're true. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26151]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are a terrible lot of lies going round the world, and the worst of it is that they're true.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The defense stepped up, which is what we expect around here. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33449]]></link><description><![CDATA[The defense stepped up, which is what we expect around here.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If hush'd the loud whirlwind that ruffled the deep, The sky if no longer dark tempests deform;  When our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18151]]></link><description><![CDATA[If hush'd the loud whirlwind that ruffled the deep, The sky if no longer dark tempests deform;  When our perils are past shall our gratitude sleep?   No!

The world wants to see redemption: it is not interested in being talked to about it. A church which is not outward looking... has ceased to be a church as the Body of Christ and has instead become a club for the benefit of its members.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6661</guid></item></channel></rss>
