And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As our case is new, we must think and act anew. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64654]]></link><description><![CDATA[As our case is new, we must think and act anew.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/64654</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whoever battles with monsters had better see that it does not turn him into a monster.

For we against creation's bars had beat   Like prisoned eagles, through great worlds had sought Though but a foot of ground to plant our feet,   Where Thou wert not. And only when we found in earth and air,   In heaven or hell, that such might nowhere be That we could not flee from Thee anywhere,   We fled to Thee.  ... Richard Chevenix Trench  April 8, 2000 Commemoration of William Augustus Muhlenberg of New York, Priest, 1877  It is the recognition of this divine necessity -- not to forgive, but to forgive in a way which shows that God is irreconcilable to evil, and can never treat it as other or less than it is -- it is the recognition of this divine necessity, or the failure to recognise it, which ultimately divides interpreters of Christianity into evangelical and non-evangelical, those who are true to the New Testament and those who cannot digest it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7867</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5901]]></link><description><![CDATA[A little curly-headed, good-for-nothing, And mischief-making monkey from his birth.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/5901</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It was not dogma that moved the world, but life.

Frequently, when rival parties and rival nations fought with one another as to which of two opposed dogmas was the truth, they had been arrayed against one another by more deep-seated and vital causes, and merely inscribed at the last the dogmas on their standards or chose them as watchwords or symbols.
