This we see in Christ when He saith: "Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do."  ... Theologia Germanica  June 21, 1998  Alas! day by day we ask that His Will may be done, and yet, when it comes to the doing, we find it so hard! We offer ourselves so often to God -- we continually say, "Lord, I am Thine, I give Thee my heart," and when He accepts it, we are such cowards. How dare we call ourselves His, if we cannot shape our own wills to His?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7175</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Bible contains six admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals.

All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I had not picked up a tennis racket in 15 years, so I tried. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42236]]></link><description><![CDATA[I had not picked up a tennis racket in 15 years, so I tried.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42236</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52573]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two of the cruelest, most primitive punishments our town deals out to those who fall from favor are the empty mailbox and the silent telephone.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52573</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/28125]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wise man is superior to any insults which can be put upon him, and the best reply to unseemly behavior is patience and moderation. -
