He observes many different kinds of peace prevailing in the world he inhabits. Not all of them are good. For example, there is the peace that death brings, the peace of the tomb. Today it could be called the peace of Auschwitz. Hitler tried to "make peace" with the Jews by seeking their "final solution"; but the evangelical would fight rather than submit to such a peace. There is also the peace of slavery and subjection, the Pax Romana. Dictators are very fond of the Roman peace. Today it could be called the peace of Tibet. The nation of Tibet has been completely stripped of its personality in our generation by Communist China without a single protest being made in front of a single embassy. Again, there is peace that is artificially induced in men. Among individuals it is the peace of the tranquilizer, the peace of withdrawal and schizophrenia, the peace of the brain-washed prisoner. Should large-scale chemical warfare break our, we are told, whole cities could be sprayed and pacified by such drugs. The evangelical is not interested in paying such high prices for the sake of peace. He would rather stay free, and alive, and in his right mind, prepared to fight.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, and we've already taken all the classes and shots. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33701]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, and we've already taken all the classes and shots.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/33701</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA['Tis not the fight that crowns us, but the end. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50142]]></link><description><![CDATA['Tis not the fight that crowns us, but the end.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4093]]></link><description><![CDATA[The practical effect of a belief is the real test of its soundness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/4093</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You have to give Midland a lot of credit.

Standing on a projecting rock, he played several tunes in the hope that the fish, attracted by his melody, would of their own accord dance into his net, which he had placed below. At last, having long waited in vain, he laid aside his flute, and casting his net into the sea, made an excellent haul of fish. When he saw them leaping about in the net upon the rock he said: O you most perverse creatures, when I piped you would not dance, but now that I have ceased you do so merrily.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1517</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to repent of our blindness, our lukewarmness, and our disobedience, and turn back to the central truth of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6873]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have to repent of our blindness, our lukewarmness, and our disobedience, and turn back to the central truth of Christ as Lord and Saviour; an ethical system will not save us here, nor a timid sentimentalism, nor an excited emotional return, nor a dilettante mysticism. We have to find that deep contrition which is the condition of His abiding. Repentance is not a mere feeling of sorrow or contrition for an act of wrongdoing. The regret I feel when I act impatiently or speak crossly is not repentance... Repentance is contrition for what we are in our fundamental beings, that we are wrong in our deepest roots because our internal government is by Self and not by God. And it is an activity of the whole person. Unless I will to be different, the mind will not follow. True repentance brings an urge to be different, because of the sense of the incessant movement of what I am, forming, forming, forming what I shall be in the years to come.   ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn  January 11, 1996 Commemoration of Mary Slessor, Missionary in West Africa, 1915   Every virtue is a form of obedience to God. Every evil word or act is a form of rebellion against Him. This may not be clear at first; but, if we think patiently, we shall find that it is true. Why were you angry? You will probably find that it was because you were not willing to accept the world as God has made it, or because you were not willing to leave it to God to deal with the people that He has made.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Delay is preferable to error. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11833]]></link><description><![CDATA[Delay is preferable to error.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/11833</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I've been thinking about this for the last four years.
