If, after all His claims and promises, Christ had died and merely lived on as a fragrant memory, He would only be revered as an extremely good but profoundly mistaken man. His claims to be God, His claims to be Himself the very principle of life, would be mere self-delusion. His authoritative pronouncements on the nature of God and Man and Life would be at once suspect. Why should He be right about the lesser things, if He was proved to be completely wrong in the greater?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7756</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sure 'tis an orthodox opinion, That grace is founded in dominion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44934]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sure 'tis an orthodox opinion, That grace is founded in dominion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44934</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[heat from impending searches. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38669]]></link><description><![CDATA[heat from impending searches.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As we moved along in a little procession, I was delighted with the illumination of the streets.

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[Leave in concealment what has long been concealed. [Lat., Latere semper patere, quod latuit diu.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54989]]></link><description><![CDATA[Leave in concealment what has long been concealed. [Lat., Latere semper patere, quod latuit diu.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54989</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Capacity for joy Admits temptation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23417]]></link><description><![CDATA[Capacity for joy Admits temptation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of our necessities is strange, That can make vile things precious. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44076]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of our necessities is strange, That can make vile things precious.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44076</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In these times we fight for ideas, and newspapers are our fortresses. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44493]]></link><description><![CDATA[In these times we fight for ideas, and newspapers are our fortresses.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're dynamic backs.
