To be a Christian means to forgive the inexcusable, because God has forgiven the inexcusable in you. This is hard. It is perhaps not so hard to forgive a single injury. But to forgive the incessant provocations of daily life -- to keep on forgiving the bossy mother-in-law, the bullying husband, the nagging wife, the selfish daughter, the deceitful son -- how can we do it? Only, I think, by remembering where we stand, by meaning our words when we say in our prayers each night, "Forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us." We are offered forgiveness on no other terms. To refuse it means to refuse God's mercy for ourselves. There is no hint of exceptions and God means what He says.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678   One might think that, with the Bible as the center of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Etheldreda, Abbess of Ely, c.678   One might think that, with the Bible as the center of Christianity, the unity of Christians could be easily realized. But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People are like stained-glass windows.
