It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55118]]></link><description><![CDATA[Imagination was given to man to compensate him for what he is not; a sense of humor to console him for what he is]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55118</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16926]]></link><description><![CDATA[Many a person has held close, throughout their entire lives, two friends that always remained strange to one another, because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity, the other by difference.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16926</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall be ashamed nor confounded world without ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62199]]></link><description><![CDATA[But Israel shall be saved in the Lord with an everlasting salvation: ye shall be ashamed nor confounded world without end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13008]]></link><description><![CDATA[Basically, I'm for anything that gets you through the night - be it prayer, tranquilizers or a bottle of Jack Daniels.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13008</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A merrier man, Within the limit of becoming mirth, I never spent an hour's talk withal. -Love's Labour 's Lost. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/55481]]></link><description><![CDATA[A merrier man, Within the limit of becoming mirth, I never spent an hour's talk withal. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

The question was whether they could be admitted without accepting the teaching and undergoing the rite. It was that question which was settled by the acknowledgement that they had received the Holy Spirit... The difficulty today is that Christians acknowledge that others have the Spirit, and yet do not recognize that they ought to be, and must be -- because spiritually they are -- in communion with one another. Men who hold a theory of the Church which excludes from communion those whom they admit to have the Spirit of Christ simply proclaim that their theory is in flat contradiction to the spiritual fact.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to treat every game like a playoff game right now because they are.
