We Church people have become so prone to loud and abusive self-depreciation that the thing amounts to a disease... and though these doleful spirits are not altogether serious, the world is listening, and takes us, not unnaturally, at our own dismal and unflattering valuation.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tradition is an important help to history, but its statements should be carefully scrutinized before we rely on them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59519]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tradition is an important help to history, but its statements should be carefully scrutinized before we rely on them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59519</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  When Christ was in the world, He was despised by men; ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7278]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a series on the person of Jesus:  When Christ was in the world, He was despised by men; in the hour of need He was forsaken by acquaintances and left by friends to the depths of scorn. He was willing to suffer and to be despised; do you dare to complain of anything? He had enemies and defamers; do you want everyone to be your friend, your benefactor? How can your patience be rewarded if no adversity tests it? How can you be a friend of Christ if you are not willing to suffer any hardship? Suffer with Christ and for Christ if you wish to reign with Him.  Had you but once entered into perfect communion with Jesus or tasted a little of His ardent love, you would care nothing at all for your own comfort or discomfort but would rejoice in the reproach you suffer; for love of Him makes a man despise himself.  ... Thomas à Kempis, Of the Imitation of Christ May 11, 2000 Concluding a series on the person of Jesus:  Jesus' good news, then, was that the Kingdom of God had come, and that he, Jesus, was its herald and expounder to men. More than that, in some special and mysterious was, he was the kingdom.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7278</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[True debauchery is liberating because it creates no obligations.

It could not have been known that there was forgiveness with Him. The old covenant could not have been preserved and sinners pardoned. Wherefore, God choose to leave the covenant than sinners unrelieved, than grace unexalted and pardon unexercised... Will we continue on the old bottom of the first covenant? All we can do therein is to set thorns and briars in the way of God, to secure ourselves from His coming against us and upon us with His indignation and fury. Our sins are so, and our righteousness is no better. And what will be the issue? Both they and we shall be trodden down, consumed, and burnt up. What way, then, what remedy is left unto us? Only this of laying hold on the arm and strength of God in that covenant wherein forgiveness of sin is provided.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7392</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When all is said and done, what you'll probably see is some sort of negotiated settlement here, whether it's a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35051]]></link><description><![CDATA[When all is said and done, what you'll probably see is some sort of negotiated settlement here, whether it's a breakup fee, or lower purchase price, ...

But if we should feel entitled to throw out one part of the witness of Ephesians to Christ, why not the rest of it also: for instance, Christ's Lordship over the church and in the heart? It is unfair and scarcely honest to consider the Bible or parts of it as a cake from which we can pick out merely the raisins we happen to like. Speaking the truth in love and witnessing to the biblical Christ may imply the necessity to speak also of some very strange things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6430</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Of democracy, only the shoemaker can makethe shoe.
