Now, mind you, that is quite true; but it tells you much less than the whole truth about Christianity, and it has no practical importance at all. It is quite true that, if we took Christ's advice, we should soon be living in a happier world. You need not even go as far as Christ. If we did all that... Confucius told us, we should get on a great deal better than we do. And so what?... If Christianity only means one more bit of good advice, then Christianity is of no importance. There has been no lack of good advice for the last four thousand years. A bit more makes no difference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8503</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I refused to attend his funeral.

Although I became familiar with the contemporary and recent studies of honest, competent scholars who questioned them, I was convinced that the historical evidence confirms the virgin birth and the bodily resurrection of Christ. Increasingly, I believed that the nearest verbal approach that we human beings can come to the great mystery is to affirm that Christ is both fully man and fully God. Although now we see Him not, yet believing, we can "rejoice with joy unspeakable" in what the Triune God has done and is doing through Him. This Good News, so rich that it is stated in a variety of ways, but always consistently, in the New Testament, is what we always imperfect children, but children [yet], are privileged -- and commanded -- to make known and to demonstrate to all mankind.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6313</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Damn all expurgated books; the dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5425]]></link><description><![CDATA[Damn all expurgated books; the dirtiest book of all is the expurgated book.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5425</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The song is ended / But the melody lingers on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57205]]></link><description><![CDATA[The song is ended / But the melody lingers on.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57205</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Merchant bar demand continues to draw strength from business investment while the previously booming consumer end-markets lose some luster. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38640]]></link><description><![CDATA[Merchant bar demand continues to draw strength from business investment while the previously booming consumer end-markets lose some luster.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/38640</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Huge amounts of money have disappeared.
