It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If someone is blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13676]]></link><description><![CDATA[If someone is blessed as I am is not willing to clean out the barn, who will?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13676</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Trust not the physician; His antidotes are poison, and he slays  More than you rob. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26720]]></link><description><![CDATA[Trust not the physician; His antidotes are poison, and he slays  More than you rob.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/26720</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Jeremy Taylor gives us some fundamental rules for ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7492]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Joseph of Nazareth Continuing a Lenten series on prayer:  Jeremy Taylor gives us some fundamental rules for prayer.
