When I was a child, bishops expressed doubts about the Resurrection, and were called courageous. When I was a girl, G. K. Chesterton professed belief in the Resurrection, and was called whimsical. When I was at college, thoughtful people expressed belief in the Resurrection "in a spiritual sense", and were called advanced; (any other kind of belief was called obsolete, and its professors were held to be simpleminded). When I was middle-aged, a number of lay persons, including some poets and writers of popular fiction, put forward rational arguments for the Resurrection, and were called courageous. Today, any lay apologist for Christianity... whose works are sold and read, is liable to be abused in no uncertain terms as a mountebank, a reactionary, a tool of the Inquisition, a spiritual snob, an intellectual bully, an escapist, an obstructionist, a psychopathic introvert, an insensitive extrovert, and an enemy of society. The charges are not always mutually compatible, but the common animus behind them is unmistakable, and its name is fear. Writers who attack these domineering Christians are called courageous.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7157</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I begin by taking.

Therefore, the true way for you to find Christ is not to go groping in a thousand books. It is not for you to try evidences about a thousand things that people have believed of Him, but it is for you to undertake so great a life, so devoted a life, so pure a life, so serviceable a life, that you cannot do it except by Christ, and then see whether Christ helps you. See then whether there comes to you the certainty that you are a child of God, and the manifestation of the child of God becomes the most credible, the most certain thing to you in all of history.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7605</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Despite the departments' conditions, we are very pleased with the outcome, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42511]]></link><description><![CDATA[Despite the departments' conditions, we are very pleased with the outcome,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42511</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20372]]></link><description><![CDATA[The recipe for perpetual ignorance is: Be satisfied with your opinions and content with your knowledge.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christian: one who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8346]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christian: one who believes that the New Testament is a divinely inspired book admirably suited to the spiritual needs of his neighbors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8346</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8872]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man likes his wife to be just clever enough to appreciate his cleverness, and just stupid enough to admire it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequence ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54352]]></link><description><![CDATA[She had been forced into prudence in her youth, she learned romance as she grew older - the natural sequence of an unnatural beginning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54352</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  Most Christians live in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6193]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Cecile Isherwood, Founder of the Community of the Resurrection, Grahamstown, South Africa, 1906  Most Christians live in confusion in regard to their scales of values and priorities. Many honest Christian people experience the shock of a revelation when they are brought to realize that their membership of the Church constitutes a loyalty prior to their loyalty to the nation to which they belong. Patriotism is one of the powerful underground pseudo-religions of to-day, not merely nationalism. The fundamental notion that the Christians are a "peculiar people" that never is identical, or even can be, with a people in the biological, national sense of the word, is largely asleep. It can only become awake by a new grasp of the biblical truth that the Church is the "people of God", an elect race composed of people out of all nations, transcending all nations and races.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6193</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23379]]></link><description><![CDATA[We must get beyond textbooks, go out into the bypaths and untrodden depths of the wilderness and travel and explore and tell the world the glories of our journey.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23379</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We're a sentimental people.
