But too often, instead of being the radical, standing against the shifting sands of relativism, he subsides into merely maintaing the status quo. If it is true that evil is evil, that God hates it to the point of the cross, and that there is a moral law fixed in what God is in Himself, then Christians should be the first into the field against what is wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6864</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Above our life we love a steadfast friend. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Above our life we love a steadfast friend.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13369]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you are planning for a year, sow rice; if you are planning for a decade, plant trees; if you are planning for a lifetime, educate people]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13369</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul, and lifts it high,  And wings it with sublime desires,  ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43423]]></link><description><![CDATA[Music religious heat inspires, It wakes the soul, and lifts it high,  And wings it with sublime desires,   And fits it to bespeak the Deity.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43423</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of grief the blunder of a life. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Grief is the agony of an instant; the indulgence of grief the blunder of a life.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I long for the raised voice, the howl of rage or love. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66239]]></link><description><![CDATA[I long for the raised voice, the howl of rage or love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66239</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[My goal freshman year was to be able to travel with the team.

What distinguishes the handling of these values in the churches is mainly the heavier dosage of religious vocabulary involved... Another way of putting this is to say that the churches operate with secular values while the secular institutions are permeated with religious terminology... An objective observer is hard put to tell the difference (at least in terms of values affirmed) between the church members and those who maintain an 'unchurched' status. Usually the most that can be said is that the church members hold the same values as everybody else, but with more emphatic solemnity. Thus, church membership in no way means adherence to a set of values at variance with those of the general society; rather, it means a stronger and more explicitly religious affirmation of the same values held by the community at large.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6863</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2112]]></link><description><![CDATA[A few observation and much reasoning lead to error; many observations and a little reasoning to truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2112</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not for the money this time.

If these are gifted with heroic qualities, to vanquish the oppressors of Israel, it is nevertheless not this heroism that forms their principal characteristic. That consists in judging. They restore... the authority of the law. For this reason, God raises up judges, not princes. The title sets forth both their work and the occasion of their appointment. Israel is free and powerful when its law is observed throughout the land.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6862</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This used to be a government of checks and balances.
