We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  The truth is that every man is in Christ; the condemnation ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6450]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Frederick Denison Maurice, Priest, teacher, 1872  The truth is that every man is in Christ; the condemnation of every man is that he will not own the truth, he will not act as if it were true, that except he were joined with Christ, he could not think, breathe, live a single hour.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6450</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23920]]></link><description><![CDATA[We give thanks to God always for you all, making mention of you in our prayers; Remembering without ceasing your work of faith, and labour of love, and patience of hope in our Lord Jesus Christ, in the sight of God and our Father;  Knowing, brethren beloved, your election of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Corn has a long history with humans _ probably a 10,000-year history.
