But, strictly speaking, the great thing to see is that God has accepted Christ. He took our sins upon Himself, died to make propitiation (the sacrifice which removed the anger of God) for them. But God raised Him from the dead and has taken Him up to glory. God has accepted Christ in token of His perfect satisfaction in His work. Believing this, the soul enters into peace. I simply rest in God’s thoughts about His son.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The most costly of all follies is to believe passionately in the palpably not true.

Here is a summary:  To set an infinite value on men's souls. To abstain from whatever deepens India's prejudice against the Gospel. To watch for every chance of doing the people good. To preach Christ crucified as the grand means of conversions. To esteem and treat Indians always as equals. To be instant in the nurture of personal religion. To cultivate the spiritual gifts of the Indian brethren, ever pressing upon them their missionary obligation, since only Indians can win India for Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6399</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask five economists and you'll get five different answers (six if one went to Harvard). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5087]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ask five economists and you'll get five different answers (six if one went to Harvard).]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5087</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's in a lot better shape than when we found it.

Often the layman dismisses what the preacher says as something irrelevant to his situation and generation. When he joins a group where he is no longer afraid to be frank, the supposedly faithful member often admits that he has never really accepted what he thinks he has heard. He has, for example, grave reservations about the idea of creation. Did not the world evolve of itself? Do we really need the hypothesis of Infinite Purpose to make sense of the physical, biological, and psychological development? These questions seldom come to the surface when the Church provides merely a one-way preaching. There is little chance of renewal if all that we have is the arrangement by which one speaks and the others listen. One trouble with this conventional system is that the speaker never knows what the unanswered questions are, or what reservations remain in the layman's mentality.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7850</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48637]]></link><description><![CDATA[He goeth after her straightway, as an ox goeth to the slaughter, or as a fool to the correction of the stocks; Till a dart strike through his liver; as a bird hasteth to the snare, and knoweth not that it is for his life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/48637</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Her years Were ripe, they might make six-and-twenty springs;  But there are forms which Time to touch forbears.  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62564]]></link><description><![CDATA[Her years Were ripe, they might make six-and-twenty springs;  But there are forms which Time to touch forbears.   And turns aside his scythe to vulgar things.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62564</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21110]]></link><description><![CDATA[We shape clay into a pot, but it is the emptiness inside that holds whatever we want.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21110</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As society advances the standard of poverty rises. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47895]]></link><description><![CDATA[As society advances the standard of poverty rises.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/47895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The presence of a body of well-instructed men, who have not to labor for their daily bread, is important to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57070]]></link><description><![CDATA[The presence of a body of well-instructed men, who have not to labor for their daily bread, is important to a degree which cannot be overestimated; as all high intellectual work is carried on by them, and on such work material progress of all kinds mainly depends, not to mention other and higher advantages.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57070</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8660]]></link><description><![CDATA[Clearly the person who accepts the Church as an infallible guide will believe whatever the Church teaches]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8660</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66600]]></link><description><![CDATA[Obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off your goal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66600</guid></item></channel></rss>
