Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.  ... Jeremy Taylor  August 14, 2000 Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles and visions, or suggested, by means of the ministry of men, what should be handed down by tradition to their posterity, it is beyond a doubt that their minds were impressed with a firm assurance of the doctrine, so that they were persuaded and convinced that the information they had received came from God... But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[City outreach teams have been working aggressively to convince these individuals to accept services.

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21983]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ultimate test of a relationship is to disagree but to hold hands.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21983</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23633]]></link><description><![CDATA[Justice is that virtue of the soul which is distributive according to desert.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23633</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love deadlines.

Or dare we do what our Lord did, and see the Name hallowed in all life that is real and honest and good? Indeed, it was a scandal to the religious men of Jesus' day when they saw what He did with sacred things. With Jesus all life was sacred and nothing was profane until sin entered in. And so it was that the word "common," which used to mean profane and unclean, became the New-Testament word for the Communion of Saints and for the fellowship of the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17074]]></link><description><![CDATA[For tomorrow belongs to the people who prepare for it today]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3159]]></link><description><![CDATA[I put my heart and my soul into my work, and have lost my mind in the process.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3159</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[History will judge the invasion of Iraq one of the greatest foreign policy misadventures of all time. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23034]]></link><description><![CDATA[History will judge the invasion of Iraq one of the greatest foreign policy misadventures of all time.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23034</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In this great future, you can’t forget your past ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16467]]></link><description><![CDATA[In this great future, you can’t forget your past]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16467</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56864]]></link><description><![CDATA[We lie loudest when we lie to ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let a man practise the profession he best knows. [Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44862]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let a man practise the profession he best knows. [Lat., Quam quisque novit artem, in hac se exerceat.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So then because some towns in England are not represented, America is to have no representative at all.
