This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They talk about the f------ mob; at least we've got principles! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36308]]></link><description><![CDATA[They talk about the f------ mob; at least we've got principles!]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36308</guid></item></channel></rss>
