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[Their monument sticks like a fishbone in the city's throat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43044]]></link><description><![CDATA[Their monument sticks like a fishbone in the city's throat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should so work as if we were to be saved by our works; and so rely on Jesus Christ, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34991]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should so work as if we were to be saved by our works; and so rely on Jesus Christ, as if we did no works.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I know it sounds overused, but truthfully, each department is interdependent upon the other.

His love of God and his love of neighbor are two distinct virtues that have no common quality but only a common source. Love of God is adoration of the only true good; it is gratitude to the bestower of all gifts; it is joy in holiness; it is "consent to Being." But the love of man is pitiful rather than adoring; it is giving and forgiving rather than grateful. It suffers for them in their viciousness and profaneness; it does not consent to accept them as they are, but calls them to repentance. The love of God is nonpossessive Eros; the love of man pure Agape; the love of God is passion; the love of man, compassion. There is duality here, but not of like-minded interest in two great values, God and man. It is rather the duality of the Son of Man and Son of God, who loves God as man should love Him, and loves man as only God can love, with powerful pity for those who are foundering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6491</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind, lubricates our inward machinery, and enables us to do our work with fewer ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5856]]></link><description><![CDATA[Cheerfulness removes the rust from the mind, lubricates our inward machinery, and enables us to do our work with fewer creaks and ;groans.
