We must realize that God is against us when we are sinning; yet we dare trust that His gracious love reaches to us across the chasm which separates us from Him. When we understand His loving attitude and accept His Grace, He releases His love in us. By that love we are able to begin to keep His commands for us -- to love Him with heart, mind, soul and strength, and to love our neighbors as we love ourselves.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6769</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2302]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2302</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sheep has no choice when in the jaws of the wolf. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62824]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sheep has no choice when in the jaws of the wolf.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/62824</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["I'll be happy when...." is the way many people think they are living their lives.

For the mystical practice of an Indian, Persian, Chinese, or Neo-Platonic mystic it is a matter of indifference whether Rama, Buddha, Laotse, or Porphyrius are myths or not. The mystic has no personal relation to them. It is not here a question of somebody telling me the truth which of myself I cannot find, but of my finding an access to the depths of the world in the depths of my soul. And everywhere the tendency is to eliminate personality. Even where religion does not have this mystical character, it has no relation to an historical person, who communicates himself to me. That is the characteristic essence of the Christian faith alone. Even where a prophet plays the role of a mediator of divine truth, as for example in Islam, the religious act is not directed toward him but toward his teaching or message. But the Christian does not believe in the teachings of Jesus -- which would not be Christian faith, but general religion -- he believes in Christ Himself as being the Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6904</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945  During the last year or so, I have come to appreciate the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945  During the last year or so, I have come to appreciate the "worldliness" of Christianity as never before. The Christian is not a homo religiosus but a man, pure and simple, just as Jesus became man... It is only by living completely in this world that one learns to believe. One must abandon every attempt to make something of oneself, whether it be a saint, a converted sinner, a churchman, a righteous man, or an unrighteous one, a sick man or a healthy one... This is what I mean by worldliness -- taking life in one's stride, with all its duties and problems, its successes and failures, its experiences and helplessness... How can success make us arrogant or failure lead us astray, when we participate in the sufferings of God by living in this world?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8590</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You tend to be afraid when someone seems foreign to you.
