For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This business will never hold water. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5024]]></link><description><![CDATA[This business will never hold water.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Cross  If we ever are to attain to true Divine Peace, and be completely united ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7827]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of the Holy Cross  If we ever are to attain to true Divine Peace, and be completely united to God, all that is not absolutely necessary, either bodily or spiritually, must be cast off; everything that could interpose itself to an unlawful extent between us and Him, and lead us astray: for He alone will be Lord in our hearts, and none other; for Divine Love can admit of no rival.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Abused patience turns to fury. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66505]]></link><description><![CDATA[Abused patience turns to fury.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/66505</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24]]></link><description><![CDATA[The single most powerful tool for winning a negotiation is the ability to get up and walk away from the table without a deal]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The dew of compassion is a tear. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9171]]></link><description><![CDATA[The dew of compassion is a tear.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9171</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every age has a keyhole to which its eye is pasted. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23691]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every age has a keyhole to which its eye is pasted.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Christian message is not an exhortation -- "try hard to be good."

It was slow in operation, being little aided by invention or imagination, but sure in conclusion.... Perhaps the strongest feature in his character was prudence, never acting until every circumstance, every consideration, was maturely weighed; refraining if he saw doubt, but, when once decided, going through his purpose, whatever obstacles opposed. His integrity was the most pure, his justice the most inflexible I have ever known.... He was, indeed, in every sense of the words, a wise, a good and a great man ... On the whole, his character was, in its mass, perfect ... it may truly be said, that never did nature and fortune combine more perfectly to make a man great....]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60283</guid></item></channel></rss>
