Love is such that, without experiencing the joy of union with the object of our love, there is a real sense in which "the soul dies." A man who loves God according to the Conob idiom would say "my soul dies for God." This not only describes the powerful emotion felt by the one who loves, but it should imply a related truth -- namely, that in true love there is no room for self. The man who loves God must die to self. True love is, of all emotions, the most unselfish, for it does not look out for self but for others. False love seeks to possess; true love seeks to be possessed. False love leads to cancerous jealousy; true love leads to a life-giving ministry.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6400</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of my favorite tunes we cover is by Barry Cowsill, an artist I recently got into.

S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34747]]></link><description><![CDATA[Those who invalidate reason ought seriously to consider whether they argue against reason with or without reason; if with reason, then they establish the principles that they are laboring to dethrone: but if they argue without reason (which, in order to be consistent with themselves they must do), they are out of reach of rational conviction, nor do they deserve a rational argument.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34747</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seek simplicity, and distrust it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56342]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seek simplicity, and distrust it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56342</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As long as you know men are like children, you know everything! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66802]]></link><description><![CDATA[As long as you know men are like children, you know everything!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows how to be poor knows everything. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47896]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows how to be poor knows everything.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If thou hadst once entered into the mind of Jesus, and hadst tasted, yea, even a little of his tender ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7970]]></link><description><![CDATA[If thou hadst once entered into the mind of Jesus, and hadst tasted, yea, even a little of his tender love, then wouldst thou care nought for thine own convenience or inconvenience, but wouldst rather rejoice at trouble brought upon thee, because the love of Jesus maketh a man to despise himself.

We seem here to have a paradox: that the reality of an event, which is not real in itself, arises from the other events which, likewise, in themselves are not real. But this only affirms what we must affirm: that direction is all. And only as we realize this do we live, for our own identity is dependent upon this principal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45487</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you pretend to be good, the world takes you very seriously.
