S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The highest stage in moral culture at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52429]]></link><description><![CDATA[The highest stage in moral culture at which we can arrive is when we recognize that we ought to control our thoughts.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God's finger touched him, and he slept. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11405]]></link><description><![CDATA[God's finger touched him, and he slept.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11405</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Jackdaw sat in the Cardinal's chair! Bishop and Abbot and Prior were there,  Many a monk and many ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23115]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Jackdaw sat in the Cardinal's chair! Bishop and Abbot and Prior were there,  Many a monk and many a friar,   Many a knight and many a squire,    With a great many more of lesser degree,--     In sooth a goodly company;      And they served the Lord Primate on bended knee.       Never, I ween,        Was a prouder seen,         Read of in books or dreamt of in dreams,          Than the Cardinal Lord Archbishop of Rheims.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't set a hen in one morning and have chicken salad for lunch. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19541]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't set a hen in one morning and have chicken salad for lunch.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19541</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1191]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do not assume that she who seeks to comfort you now, lives untroubled among the simple and quiet words that sometimes do you good.
