Of course, such a way is hard and costly, but it is also joyous and rewarding even in the here-and-now. People who follow that Way know beyond all possible argument that they are in harmony with the purpose of God, that Christ is with them and in them as they set about His work in our disordered world. If anyone thinks this is perilous and revolutionary teaching, so much the better. That is exactly what they thought of the teaching of Jesus Christ. The light He brought to bear upon human affairs is almost unbearably brilliant: but it is the light of Truth, and in that light human problems can be solved.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the good news we have been waiting for! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34969]]></link><description><![CDATA[This is the good news we have been waiting for!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34969</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All empty sould tend toward extreme opinions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44965]]></link><description><![CDATA[All empty sould tend toward extreme opinions.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44965</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It needs fanatical faith to rationalize our cowardice. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53659]]></link><description><![CDATA[It needs fanatical faith to rationalize our cowardice.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh, what a blamed uncertain thing  This pesky weather is; It blew and snew and then it thew,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61488]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh, what a blamed uncertain thing  This pesky weather is; It blew and snew and then it thew,  And now, by jing, it's friz!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It seems to me, as time goes on, that the only thing that is worth seeking for is to know ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6464]]></link><description><![CDATA[It seems to me, as time goes on, that the only thing that is worth seeking for is to know and to be known by Christ -- a privilege open alone to the childlike, who, with receptivity, guilelessness, and humility, move Godward.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6464</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A foolish man tells a woman to stop talking, but a wise man tells her that her mouth is extremely ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16361]]></link><description><![CDATA[A foolish man tells a woman to stop talking, but a wise man tells her that her mouth is extremely beautiful when her lips are closed]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16361</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[An you had any eye behind you, you might see more detraction at your heels than fortunes before you. -Twelfth ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55754]]></link><description><![CDATA[An you had any eye behind you, you might see more detraction at your heels than fortunes before you. -Twelfth Night.

a flesh which He shares with us by wearing it, not by sinning in it. He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you want to make peace, you don't talk to your friends.
