It is the variety which gives interest to the unity. What is it in which these people, differing as widely as they do, are vitally and fundamentally at one, so that through all their differences they form a brotherhood and are conscious of an indissolubale spiritual bond? There can be no doubt that that which unites them is a common relation to Christ -- a common faith in Him, involving religious convictions about Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7986</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59851]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is easier to find a score of men wise enough to discover the truth than to find one intrepid enough, in the face of opposition to stand up for it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59851</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54802]]></link><description><![CDATA[Science is the father of knowledge, but opinion breeds ignorance.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54802</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century    In questions of this sort there are two things ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8572]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century    In questions of this sort there are two things to be observed. First, that the truth of the Scriptures be inviolably maintained. Secondly, since Scripture doth admit of diverse interpretations, that no one cling to any particular exposition with such pertinacity that, if what he supposed to be the teaching of Scripture should afterward turn out to be clearly false, he should nevertheless still presume to put it forward, lest thereby the sacred Scriptures should be exposed to the derision of unbelievers and the way of salvation should be closed to them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8572</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9367]]></link><description><![CDATA[The digital revolution is far more significant than the invention of writing or even of printing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9367</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This was a crisis for me.

And this is the curiosity and niceness of divine love: this is the fear of God, and is the daughter and production of love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7374</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Now men say, "I am in no wise prepared for this work, and therefore it cannot be wrought in me," ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360]]></link><description><![CDATA[Now men say, "I am in no wise prepared for this work, and therefore it cannot be wrought in me," and thus they have an excuse, so that they neither are ready nor in the way to be so. And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica  December 16, 2002   Repentance is but a kind of table-talk, till we see so much of the deformity of our inward nature as to be in some degree frightened and terrified at the sight of it... A plausible form of an outward life, that has only learned rules and modes of religion by use and custom, often keeps the soul for some time at ease, though all its inward root and ground of sin has never been shaken or molested, though it has never tasted of the bitter waters of repentance and has only known the want of a Saviour by hearsay. But things cannot pass thus: sooner or later repentance must have a broken and a contrite heart; we must with our blessed Lord go over the brook Cedron, and with Him sweat great drops of sorrow before He can say for us, as He said for Himself: "It is finished.".]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7360</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I do not give you to posterity as a pattern to imitate, but as an example to deter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14397]]></link><description><![CDATA[I do not give you to posterity as a pattern to imitate, but as an example to deter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/14397</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[And each blasphemer quite escape the rod, Because the insult's not on man, but God? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58473]]></link><description><![CDATA[And each blasphemer quite escape the rod, Because the insult's not on man, but God?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/58473</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17729]]></link><description><![CDATA[There cannot be a God because if there were one, I could not believe that I was not He.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17729</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who loses money loses much; he who loses a friend loses muchmore;he who loses faith loses all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53587]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who loses money loses much; he who loses a friend loses muchmore;he who loses faith loses all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/53587</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a stone there, That whoever kisses,  Oh! he never misses   To grow eloquent.   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23052]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a stone there, That whoever kisses,  Oh! he never misses   To grow eloquent.    'Tis he may clamber     To a lady's chamber      Or become a member       Of Parliament.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/23052</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Time travels in divers paces with divers persons.

But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beautiful places, they were.

The truth about man is that his ground is not in himself but in God -- that his essence is not in self sufficient reason but in the Word, in the challenge of God, in responsibility, not in self-sufficiency. The true being of man is realized when he bases himself upon God's Word. Faith is then not an impossibility or a salto mortale [mortal leap], but that which is truly natural; and the real salto mortale (a mortal leap indeed!) is just the assertion of autonomy, self-sufficiency, God-likeness. [It is] through this usurped independence [that] man separates himself from God, and at the same time isolates himself from his fellows. Individualism is the necessary consequence of rational autonomy, just as love is the necessary consequence of faith.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6222</guid></item></channel></rss>
