And until we understand the Gospel, the good news about our brother-king -- until we understand Him, until we have His Spirit, promised so freely to them that ask it -- all the Epistles, the words of men who were full of Him, and wrote out of that fullness, who loved Him so utterly that by that very love they were lifted into the air of pure reason and right, and would die for Him, without two thoughts about it, in the very simplicity of no choice -- the Letters, I say, of such men are to us a sealed book. Until we love the Lord so as to do what He tells us, we have no right to an opinion about what one of those men meant; for all they wrote is about things beyond us. The simplest woman who tries not to judge her neighbor, or not to be anxious for the morrow, will better know what is best to know, than the best-read bishop without that one simple outgoing of his highest nature in the effort to do the will of Him who thus spoke.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What men and women need is encouragement. . . .

The reaction to such a study may indeed prove to be conversion or open hostility, but it would at least mean the end of childish and ill-informed attacks upon what is supposed to be the Christian religion.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7403</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The purpose of life is to discover your gift.

That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think it's going to be very difficult for the judge to find penalties that could indeed be construed as ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42054]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think it's going to be very difficult for the judge to find penalties that could indeed be construed as forward-looking.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/42054</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14046]]></link><description><![CDATA[How much better a thing it is to be envied than to be pitied.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  Is a mediator between the eternal spirit and the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6619]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of David, Bishop of Menevia, Patron of Wales, c.601  Is a mediator between the eternal spirit and the finite an unreality, an intrusion? The mystic soul may impatiently think so, but the moral soul finds such mediation the way to reality; and the mystic experience is not quite trustworthy about reality. The pagan gods had no mediators, because they were not real or good gods; but the living God has a living Revealer. To know the living God is to know Christ; to know Christ is to know the living God. We do not know God by Christ but in Him. We find God when we find Christ; and in Christ alone we know and share his final purpose. Our last knowledge is not the contact of our person with a thing or a thought; it is intercourse of person and person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Therefore I say again I utterly abhor, yea, from my soul  Refuse you for my judge, whom yet once ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23514]]></link><description><![CDATA[Therefore I say again I utterly abhor, yea, from my soul  Refuse you for my judge, whom yet once more   I hold my most malicious for and think not    At all a friend to truth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23514</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intolerant only of intolerance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44942]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intolerant only of intolerance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/44942</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberty's in every blow! Let us do or die. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24683]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberty's in every blow! Let us do or die.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24683</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes in the morning. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45216]]></link><description><![CDATA[In these times you have to be an optimist to open your eyes in the morning.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/45216</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56522]]></link><description><![CDATA[I have of late--but wherefore I know not--lost all my mirth, forgone all custom of exercises; and indeed, it goes so heavily with my disposition that this goodly frame the earth seems to me a sterile promontory; this most excellent canopy, the air, look you, this brave o'erhanging firmament, this majestical roof fretted with golden fire--why, it appeareth nothing to me but a foul and pestilent congregation of vapors.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/56522</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14123]]></link><description><![CDATA[That all men are equal is a proposition to which, at ordinary times, no sane individual has ever given his assent.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14123</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ilk cowslip cup shall kep a tear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10536]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ilk cowslip cup shall kep a tear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10536</guid></item></channel></rss>
