This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing, it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of Divine accident. -Sir Hugh Walpoe.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/25886</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evidence for our New Testament writings is ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6366]]></link><description><![CDATA[The evidence for our New Testament writings is ever so much greater than the evidence for many writings of classical authors, the authenticity of which no-one dreams of questioning.

Where it is possible that fear should exist it is well that it should exist, cause continual uneasiness, and be cast out by nothing less than love.... Until love, which is the truth towards God, is able to cast out fear, it is well that fear should hold; it is a bond, however poor, between that which is and that which creates -- a bond that must be broken, but a bond that can be broken only by the tightening of an infinitely closer bond. Verily God must be terrible to those that are far from Him: for they fear He will do -- yea, is doing -- with them what they do not, cannot desire, and can ill endure... While they are such as they are, there is much in Him that cannot but affright them: they ought, they do well, to fear Him... To remove that fear from their hearts, save by letting them know His love with its purifying fire, a love which for ages, it may be, they cannot know, would be to give them up utterly to the power of evil. Persuade men that fear is a vile thing, that it is an insult to God, that He will have none of it -- while they are yet in love with their own will, and slaves to every movement of passionate impulse -- and what will the consequence be? That they will insult God as a discarded idol, a superstition, a falsehood, as a thing under whose evil influence they have too long groaned, a thing to be cast out and spit upon. After that, how much will they learn of Him?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8084</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61372]]></link><description><![CDATA[That they do good, that they be rich in good works, ready to distribute, willing to communicate; Laying up in store for themselves a good foundation against the time to come, that they may lay hold on eternal life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is an escalation that we have been expecting, ...

What causes this odd state of affairs? The root cause is the same as in most cases of error in the Church--the intruding of rationalistic speculations, the passion for systematic consistency, a reluctance to recognize the existence of mystery and to let God be wiser than men, and a consequent subjecting of Scripture to the supposed demands of human logic. People see that the Bible teaches man's responsibility for his actions; they do not see how this is consistent with the sovereign Lordship of God over those actions. They are not content to let the two truths live side by side, as they do in the Scriptures, but jump to the conclusion that, in order to uphold the biblical truth of human responsibility, they are bound to reject the equally biblical and equally true doctrine of divine sovereignty, and to explain away the great number of texts that teach it. The desire to over-simplify the Bible by cutting out the mysteries is natural to our perverse minds, and it is not surprising, that even good men should fall victims to it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6773</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65380]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel so lucky to have both a son and a daughter, because there's a different relationship with each of them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/65380</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Football is a mistake.
