"Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each year, every team's goal is to get to the playoffs and then to get to the state championship.

The next day it snowed very hard, so that he could not take the herd to their usual feeding places, but was obliged to keep them in the fold. He gave his own goats just sufficient food to keep them alive, but fed the strangers more abundantly in the hope of enticing them to stay with him and of making them his own. When the thaw set in, he led them all out to feed, and the Wild Goats scampered away as fast as they could to the mountains. The Goatherd scolded them for their ingratitude in leaving him, when during the storm he had taken more care of them than of his own herd. One of them, turning about, said to him: That is the very reason why we are so cautious; for if you yesterday treated us better than the Goats you have had so long, it is plain also that if others came after us, you would in the same manner prefer them to ourselves. Old friends cannot with impunity be sacrificed for new ones.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1562</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12742]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our doubts are traitors and make us lose the good we oft might win, by fearing to attempt]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/12742</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can we hope to remain economically competitive in a world in which...90% of Dutch high-school students take advanced math ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13536]]></link><description><![CDATA[How can we hope to remain economically competitive in a world in which...90% of Dutch high-school students take advanced math courses and 100% of teachers in Germany have double majors, while the best we can say about our "pocket of excellence" is that 75% of [American] students have learned to "critique tactfully?" -Barbara J.
