Abp. William Temple  November 7, 2001 Feast of Willibrord of York, Archbishop of Utrecht, Apostle of Frisia, 739   The social gospel is not an addendum to the gospel; it is the gospel. If we read the Gospels, it becomes clear that it was not what Jesus said about God that got him into trouble (but) his treatment of men and women, his way of being friendly with outcasts with whom no respectable Jew would have anything to do. It has always been fairly safe to talk about God; it is when we start to talk about men that the trouble starts. And yet the fact remains that there is no conceivable way of proving that we love God other than by loving men. And there is no conceivable way of proving that we love men than by doing something for those who most need help.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For they conquer who believe they can. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9698]]></link><description><![CDATA[For they conquer who believe they can.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9698</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Pleasures lie thickest where no pleasures seem; There's not a leaf that falls upon the ground  but holds some ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46689]]></link><description><![CDATA[Pleasures lie thickest where no pleasures seem; There's not a leaf that falls upon the ground  but holds some joy of silence or of sound,   Some sprite begotten of a summer dream.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/46689</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John, Apostle & Evangelist    The Rev.

David Bronnert, who was quoted in CQOD at the beginning of the month, has kindly sent me the following meditation taken from the church magazine of St. John's Church, Southall, in London, where he serves as vicar, living out, under God, the previous quotation he wrote thirty years ago. I am grateful to brother David for sending me this timely teaching so that I could present it to you. The light shines in the darkness   Candles are always popular for giving a warm romantic glow and this time of year they are to be seen on many different occasions. Of course a candle is easy to blow out! So much so that its flickering light was chosen by Shakespeare as a picture of the transitory nature of life. Out out brief candle!   Darkness is a reminder of evil, for it is in the darkness that people get lost, stumble and fall. It is in the darkness that power is misused, corruption reigns and evil is done. It is easy to imagine that in the end evil will triumph and the light will disappear. Situations change. Familiar landmarks -- like this magazine! -- disappear. There is the unrelenting pressure of a vanity fair society. The candle burns down and gives a thin wisp of smoke before going out.   But there are also the special party candles that keep bursting back into life. They are a much better picture of the light of the gospel! For though they have been numerous attempts down the centuries to extinguish the light, it has kept on bursting back into flame.   The light of Christ keeps on shining. New ways of sharing the good news come along. New believers are attracted to his light. Sleepy Christians are re-awakened. Fresh discoveries give even more confidence in the truth of the Bible.   The light keeps on shining in the darkness. It is a statement and a promise at the same time. It is isn't that once the light shone, but rather, that in the present it shines, and it will do so in the future as well. For the light comes from the one who is, as well as who was, and is also the one who is to come.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6316</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The evidence of marked improvement in the manufacturing sector further guarantees there will be no interest rate cut this Thursday. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36608]]></link><description><![CDATA[The evidence of marked improvement in the manufacturing sector further guarantees there will be no interest rate cut this Thursday.

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[Crime is a product of social excess. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Crime is a product of social excess.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/10694</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The brighter you are, the more you have to learn. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27644]]></link><description><![CDATA[The brighter you are, the more you have to learn.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/27644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's many an artist that comes to Nashville in hopes of doing the same thing I'm doing right now, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37319]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's many an artist that comes to Nashville in hopes of doing the same thing I'm doing right now,]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/37319</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The fool who persists in his folly will become wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1177]]></link><description><![CDATA[The fool who persists in his folly will become wise.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1177</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Call no man happy till he is dead. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11161]]></link><description><![CDATA[Call no man happy till he is dead.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11161</guid></item></channel></rss>
