He blotted out through death the sentence of death, that by a new creation of our race in Himself He might sweep away the penalty appointed by the former Law... For Scripture had foretold that He who is God should die; that the victory and triumph of them that trust in Him lay in the fact that He, who is immortal and cannot be overcome by death, was to die that mortals might gain eternity. (Continued tomorrow)   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 2, 2000 Feast of All Souls   In this calm assurance of safety did my soul gladly and hopefully take its rest, and feared so little the interruption of death, that death seemed only a name for eternal life. And the life of this present body was so far from seeming a burden or affliction that it was regarded as children regard their alphabets, sick men their draughts, shipwrecked sailors their swim, young men the training for their profession, future commanders their first campaign -- that is, as an endurable submission to present necessities, bearing the promise of a blissful immortality.   ... St. Hilary, On the Trinity  November 3, 2000 Feast of Richard Hooker, Priest, Anglican Apologist, Teacher, 1600 Commemoration of Martin of Porres, Dominican Friar, 1639   People make mistakes when they believe. They may even want something so badly that passion creates its own evidences. Reprehensible though these habits are, they nonetheless fall within the pale of man's general effort to conform the self to things as they are. But when a person acknowledges the deficiency of evidences and yet goes right on believing, he defends a position that is large with the elements of its own destruction. Any brand of inanity can be defended on such a principle.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6291</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The miserable have no other medicine, But only hope. -Measure for Measure.

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is the fragrant lack of practicality that makes high-heeled shoes so fascinating: in terms of static mechanics they induce ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21046]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is the fragrant lack of practicality that makes high-heeled shoes so fascinating: in terms of static mechanics they induce a sort of insecurity which some find titillating.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/21046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3002]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are three forms of visual art: Painting is art to look at, sculpture is art you can walk around, and architecture is art you can walk through]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/3002</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I distrust those sentiments that are too far removed from nature, and whose sublimity is blended with ridicule; which two ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54215]]></link><description><![CDATA[I distrust those sentiments that are too far removed from nature, and whose sublimity is blended with ridicule; which two are as near one another as extreme wisdom and folly.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54215</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is good to be often reminded of the inconsistency of human nature, and to learn to look without wonder ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19959]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is good to be often reminded of the inconsistency of human nature, and to learn to look without wonder or disgust on the weaknesses which are found in the strongest minds.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/19959</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The coldest word was once a glowing new metaphor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24056]]></link><description><![CDATA[The coldest word was once a glowing new metaphor.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/24056</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Such a Saint, such an offering. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49771]]></link><description><![CDATA[Such a Saint, such an offering.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/49771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I don't know how many people we're going to have participating, but if those people don't give 100 percent on ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36503]]></link><description><![CDATA[I don't know how many people we're going to have participating, but if those people don't give 100 percent on Friday, we will get embarrassed at home.
