Have Hope. Though clouds environ round,  And gladness hides her face in scorn,  Put off the shadow from thy brow:  No night but hath its morn. Have Faith. Where'er thy bark is driven -  The calm's disport, the tempest's mirth - Know this: God rules the hosts of heaven,  The inhabitants of earth. Have Love.

For here we are dealing with processes and events which, by the nature of the case, cannot be precisely described in everyday language...  The matter is quite different with such a statement as that Christ was born of the Virgin Mary; for, whatever aspects of the Incarnation outstrip the descriptive power of ordinary language, this at least is plainly statable in it. It means that Jesus was conceived in his mother's womb without previous sexual intercourse on her part with any male human being, and this is a straightforward statement which is either true or false. To say that the birth... of Jesus Christ cannot simply be thought of as a biological event, and to add that this is [not] what the Virgin Birth means, is a plain misuse of language; and no amount of talk about the appealing character of the "Christmas myth" can validly gloss this over.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6449</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[- "I've been thinking Hobbes --"- "On a weekend?"- "Well, it wasn't on purpose..." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61502]]></link><description><![CDATA[- "I've been thinking Hobbes --"- "On a weekend?"- "Well, it wasn't on purpose..."]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61502</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ought to change the legend on our money from "In God We Trust" to "In Money We Trust";

It is inconceivable that the things that are of utmost importance to each individual should not be spoken by one to another. It is unchristian consciously to deprive another of the one decisive service we can render to him...   The more we learn to allow others to speak the Word to us, to accept humbly and gratefully even severe reproaches and admonitions, the more free and objective will we be in speaking ourselves. The humble person will stick to truth and love. He will stick to the Word of God and let it lead him to his brother...   Reproof is unavoidable. God's Word demands it when a brother falls into open sin. Where defection from God's Word in doctrine or life imperils the fellowship... the word of admonition and rebuke must be ventured. Nothing can be more cruel than the tenderness that consigns another to his sin. Nothing can be more compassionate than the severe rebuke that calls a brother back from the path of sin. It is a ministry of mercy, an ultimate offer of genuine fellowship, when we allow nothing but God's Word to stand between us, judging and succoring.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8610</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The golden rule is that there are no golden rules. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54274]]></link><description><![CDATA[The golden rule is that there are no golden rules.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54274</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a very realistic plan. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33200]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's a very realistic plan.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33200</guid></item></channel></rss>
