How human is the God of the Old Testament -- the God who appears, speaks, guides, who loves and is loved, even as the Man of the New Testament, Christ Jesus, is divine!

He had never seen the Book before. It taught him another lesson than that of fasts and vigils... Luther learned now that a man was saved not by singing masses, but by the infinite grace of God: a more credible hypothesis. He gradually got himself founded, as on the rock. No wonder he should venerate the Bible, which had brought this blessed help to him. He prized it as the Word of the Highest must be prized by such a man. He determined to hold by that, as through life and to death he firmly did.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Do your work; not just your work and no more, but a little more for the lavishing's sake -- that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22040]]></link><description><![CDATA[Do your work; not just your work and no more, but a little more for the lavishing's sake -- that little more which is worth all the rest.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22040</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61022]]></link><description><![CDATA[All voting is a sort of gaming, like checkers or backgammon, with a slight moral tinge to it, a playing with right and wrong.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/61022</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The art of taxation consists in so plucking the goose as to obtain the largest amount of feathers with the least possible amount of hissing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/15951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Subtlety may deceive you; integrity never will.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/22865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53607]]></link><description><![CDATA[O God, thy sea is so great, and my boat is so small.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53607</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I spent a year in that town, one Sunday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4733]]></link><description><![CDATA[I spent a year in that town, one Sunday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds contempt. [Lat., Nimia familiaritas parit contemptum.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Familiarity breeds contempt. [Lat., Nimia familiaritas parit contemptum.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/51655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[She's a very special young lady who had the courage to step up and testify, ...

In that very chapter [Romans 7] where he asserts most strongly our inability to keep the moral law he also asserts most confidently that we perceive the Law's goodness and rejoice in it according to the inward man. Our righteousness may be filthy and ragged; but Christianity gives us no ground for holding that our perceptions of right are in the same condition. They may, no doubt, be impaired; but there is a difference between imperfect sight and blindness. A theology which goes about to represent our practical reason as radically unsound is heading for disaster. If we once admit that what God means by "goodness" is sheerly different from what we judge to be good, there is no difference left between pure religion and devil worship.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8498</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Flattery was formerly a vice; it has now become the fashion. [Lat., Pessimum genus inimicorum laudantes.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16179]]></link><description><![CDATA[Flattery was formerly a vice; it has now become the fashion. [Lat., Pessimum genus inimicorum laudantes.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16179</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's a really innovative idea.
