The cross on Golgotha Will never save thy soul; The cross in thy own heart Alone can make thee whole.   ... anonymous, 3rd century  December 29, 2002 Feast of Thomas Becket, Archbishop of Canterbury, Martyr, 1170   The nature of Christ's salvation is woefully misrepresented by the present-day evangelist. He announces a Savior from hell rather than a Savior from sin. And that is why so many are fatally deceived, for there are multitudes who wish to escape the Lake of fire who have no desire to be delivered from their carnality and worldliness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6854</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1199]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge, without common sense, says Lee, is folly; without method, it is waste; without kindness, it is fanaticism; without religion, it is death.

Just as love to God begins with listening to His Word, so the beginning of love for the brethren is learning to listen to them... Listening can be a greater service than speaking... One who cannot listen long and patiently will presently be talking beside the point and be never really speaking to others. Anyone who thinks his time is too valuable to spend keeping quiet will eventually have no time for God and his brother, but only for himself and for his own follies...   We should listen with the ears of God that we may speak the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am partial to ladies if they are nice.

I ought not to neglect anything or be passionately vehement about anything, for it is dangerous to do the work of the Lord negligently, on the one hand; or, on the other, to appropriate it to ourselves by self-love and false zeal. In this latter case, our actions arise from a principle of self-will: we are eager and anxious for the success, and that under the pretense of seeking the glory of God. O, God, grant me Thy grace to enable me to be faithful in action and resigned in success! My only business is to do Thy will, and to do it as Thy will, not forgetting Thee in the performance of it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7537</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60681]]></link><description><![CDATA[The only thing that's been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60681</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Three things have been difficult to tame: the oceans, fools and women.
