The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/75]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are some people who live in a dream world, and there are some who face reality; and then there are those who turn one into the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/75</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evidence for Christian truth is not exhaustive, but it is sufficient.

Study the advertisements in any popular magazine: people are "invited to apply for membership"; "members will receive a catalogue"; they are even offered "rules", which they gladly accept because the need for authority lies heavily upon them; they then receive a card admitting them to the circle, with the "President's signature" printed on it. In the need for belonging, the acknowledgement of dependence, may lie the greatest opportunity of the Christian evangelist. It is not unlike the conditions under which the early Church worked. In the later Roman Empire, crumbling under its own size, its communications and resources stretched to the utmost, the mystery-religions came into their own. Rites of initiation, the sharing of secret knowledge, offered to people of all classes an escape from the perplexities of life, a retreat into a closed circle of the elect where they might feel that their transformed personalities had some significance. Who can know how many weary souls there were who strayed into the Church through rumours of a secret rite of purification, of a shared meal that conferred wisdom, and who remained to comprehend the fullness of the Godhead, a belonging greater than they had ever imagined.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A whisper can be stronger, as an atom is stronger, than a whole mountain. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61533]]></link><description><![CDATA[A whisper can be stronger, as an atom is stronger, than a whole mountain.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61533</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44592]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life ought to be a struggle of desire toward adventures whose nobility will fertilize the soul.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44592</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too bad we didn't win.
