It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The offender never pardons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16504]]></link><description><![CDATA[The offender never pardons.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16504</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They're just normal everyday kids. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40561]]></link><description><![CDATA[They're just normal everyday kids.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/40561</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A thing is right when it tends to preserve the integrity, stability and beauty of the biotic community.

God has no more wrath in Himself now than He had before the creation, when He had only Himself to love... And it was solely to quench this wrath, awakened in the human soul, that the blood of the Son of God was necessary; because nothing but a life and birth, derived from Him into the human soul, could change this darkened root of a self-tormenting fire into an amiable image of the Holy Trinity as it was at first created.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7322</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18524]]></link><description><![CDATA[Habit is overcome by habit. [Lat., Consuetudo consuetudine vincitur.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18524</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sonne full and tattered, the daughter empty and fine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49916]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sonne full and tattered, the daughter empty and fine.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49916</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The law must be stable and yet it must not stand still. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24286]]></link><description><![CDATA[The law must be stable and yet it must not stand still.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24286</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How can I be useful, of what service can I be?

Surrendering your head to your heart in those moments will lead you to balance and fulfillment. As you listen to your spirit, peace follows. So follow your spirit. Build your foundation in your heart. Love must be your innermost and spontaneous response towards every person you encounter. Say to yourself inside, "I just love." Use these words as a key to start the engine running in your heart and watch life brighten with new love and understanding. Surrender to your new awareness and let love unfold the purpose of creation to you. -Sara Paddison.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58384</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Skepticism is the first step on the road to philosophy ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56485]]></link><description><![CDATA[Skepticism is the first step on the road to philosophy]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56485</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Each generation produces its squad of "moderns" with peashooters to attack Gibraltar. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10759]]></link><description><![CDATA[Each generation produces its squad of "moderns" with peashooters to attack Gibraltar.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10759</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2941]]></link><description><![CDATA[Like to the apples on the Dead Sea's shore, All ashes to the taste.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2941</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This just sort of adds insult to injury, in many respects, ...
