There is something more true in his denunciation of idolatry as sin than in our denial that it is possible for a man to worship an idol, or in our suggestion that all idolatry is only a road to spiritual worship of the one true God... One day, I think, we shall return to these stern doctrines, realizing in them a truth more profound than we now know, and then we shall preach them with conviction, and, being convinced ourselves, we shall convince others.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As certain as the Correggiosity of Correggio. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45412]]></link><description><![CDATA[As certain as the Correggiosity of Correggio.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45412</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our country, right or wrong!

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34872]]></link><description><![CDATA[The hero is one who kindles a great light in the world, who sets up blazing torches in the dark streets of life for men to see by.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man that sets out to carry a cat by it's tail learns something that will always be useful and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9835]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man that sets out to carry a cat by it's tail learns something that will always be useful and which will never grow dim or doubtful.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9835</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best smell is bread, the best savour, salt, the best love that of children. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49803]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best smell is bread, the best savour, salt, the best love that of children.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49803</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And O the buttercups! that field O' the cloth of gold, when pennons swam--  Where France set up his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5144]]></link><description><![CDATA[And O the buttercups! that field O' the cloth of gold, when pennons swam--  Where France set up his lilied shield,   His oriflamb,    And Henry's lion-standard rolled:     What was it to their matchless sheen,      Their million million drops of gold       Among the green!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5144</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall till I die, to increase the stock of harmless cheerfulness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5857]]></link><description><![CDATA[I feel an earnest and humble desire, and shall till I die, to increase the stock of harmless cheerfulness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These false pretexts and varnished colours failing, Rare in thy guilt how foul must thou appear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18470]]></link><description><![CDATA[These false pretexts and varnished colours failing, Rare in thy guilt how foul must thou appear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18470</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57060]]></link><description><![CDATA[Man is an imperceptible atom always trying to become one with God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You never heard of a comedy team that didn't fight, did you?

The temptation to institutionalism is always with us, and who will profess himself guiltless? We reduce Christianity to the service of an institution, the Church, for this enables us to be active in what is fondly called "the work of the Lord," while at the same time failing to grapple with the fundamental problem for all Christians, that of winning our generation for Christ. In our little circle of like-minded people we condemn outsiders because they do not come in. Perhaps we even make half-hearted attempts to get them to come in. And then we snuggle down again in the warmth of our fellowship, comforted that we have done all that might reasonably be expected of men in our situation. Fortified with this consolation we concentrate on keeping the institution, the Church, running as it should.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6551</guid></item></channel></rss>
