Life in God is not an escape from this, but a way to gain full insight concerning it. It is not our depravity which forces a fictitious religious explanation upon us, but the experience of religious reality which forces the "Night Side" out into the light. It is when we stand in the righteous all-seeing light of love that we can dare to look at, admit, and consciously suffer under this something in us which wills disaster, misfortune, defeat to everything outside the sphere of our narrowest self interest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4832]]></link><description><![CDATA[Bravery is the capacity to perform properly even when scared half to death.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think anytime we can do anything for anyone it's good.

When this position is expressed, it must be attacked directly and unapologetically, because it represents a genuine evil, ... the idolatry of bricks and mortar, a heresy specifically undermined by the Apostle Paul in Athens when he said, "The God who made the world and everything in it, being Lord of heaven and earth, does not live in shrines made by man" (Acts 17:24). The notion that it is perfectly all right to sell a New Testament in the department store on Monday, but that it is wrong to sell it in the meetinghouse on Sunday, represents a confusion so great that it is truly appalling. As Christians, we believe in the Real Presence, but it is a severe denial of the divine power to claim that this Presence is limited geographically. If, in a building dedicated to worship, a seeker buys a book on Sunday morning and his life is deepened in consequence, the only important thing to say is that the Gospel has thereby been preached, and this is one of the major tasks of the Church.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[F]ew things loves better Than to abhor himself-- . . . ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15]]></link><description><![CDATA[[F]ew things loves better Than to abhor himself-- . . .]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn  And everybody's shouting   "Which Side Are You ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16077]]></link><description><![CDATA[Praise be to Nero's Neptune The Titanic sails at dawn  And everybody's shouting   "Which Side Are You On?"    And Ezra Pound and T.S.
