Though now we are fallen upon another method, we have turned all religion into faith, and our faith is nothing but the production of interest or disputing; it is adhering to a party and a wrangling against all the world beside--and when it is asked of what religion he is, we understand the meaning to be what faction does he follow, what are the articles of his sect, not what is the manner of his life: and if men be zealous for their party and that interest, then they are precious men, though otherwise they be covetous as the grave, factious as Dathan, schismatical as Korah, or proud as the fallen angels.  ... Jeremy Taylor  August 14, 2000 Commemoration of Maximilian Kolbe, Franciscan Friar, Priest, Martyr, 1941   Whether God revealed Himself to the patriarchs by oracles and visions, or suggested, by means of the ministry of men, what should be handed down by tradition to their posterity, it is beyond a doubt that their minds were impressed with a firm assurance of the doctrine, so that they were persuaded and convinced that the information they had received came from God... But since we are not favored with daily oracles from heaven, and since it is only in the Scriptures that the Lord hath been pleased to preserve His truth in perpetual remembrance, it obtains the same complete credit and authority with believers, when they are satisfied of its divine origin, as if they heard the very words pronounced by God Himself... Let it be considered, then, as an undeniable truth, that they who have been inwardly taught by the Spirit feel an entire acquiescence in the Scripture, and that it is self-authenticated, carrying with it its own evidence, and ought not to be made the subject of demonstration and arguments from reason; but it obtains the credit which it deserves with us by the testimony of the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We just felt we're stronger at linebacker than the front guys, so were going to a 3-4. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33918]]></link><description><![CDATA[We just felt we're stronger at linebacker than the front guys, so were going to a 3-4.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Editors may think of themselves as dignified headwaiters in a well-run restaurant but more often they operate a snack bar ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13353]]></link><description><![CDATA[Editors may think of themselves as dignified headwaiters in a well-run restaurant but more often they operate a snack bar and expect you to be grateful that at least they got the food to the table warm.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/13353</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 7. the ministry of authority   Jesus made authority in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Seven principles for eradicating selfish ambition in the fellowship: 7. the ministry of authority   Jesus made authority in the fellowship dependent upon brotherly service (Mark 10:43). Genuine spiritual authority is to be found only where the ministry of hearing, helping, bearing, and proclaiming is carried out. Every cult of personality that emphasizes the distinguished qualities, virtues, and talents of another person, even though these be of an altogether spiritual nature, is worldly and has no place in the Christian community; indeed, it poisons the Christian community...   Genuine authority realizes that it can exist only in the service of Him who alone has authority... The Church does not need brilliant personalities but faithful servants of Jesus and the brethren...   Pastoral authority can be attained only by the servant of Jesus who seeks no power of his own, who himself is a brother among brothers to the authority of the Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even a band of angels can turn ugly and start looting if enough angels are unemployed and hanging around the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53597]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even a band of angels can turn ugly and start looting if enough angels are unemployed and hanging around the Pearly Gates convinced that all the succubi own all the liquor stores in Heaven.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sunrise wakes the lark to sing, The moonrise wakes the nightingale.  Come, darkness, moonrise, everything   That ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24101]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sunrise wakes the lark to sing, The moonrise wakes the nightingale.  Come, darkness, moonrise, everything   That is so silent, sweet, and pale:    Come, so ye wake the nightingale.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24101</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All human things Of dearest value hang on slender strings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62343]]></link><description><![CDATA[All human things Of dearest value hang on slender strings.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Statistics have shown that mortality increases perceptibly in the military during wartime. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57872]]></link><description><![CDATA[Statistics have shown that mortality increases perceptibly in the military during wartime.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's what we needed.
