The more knowledge, the more obligation. The maintaining of revealed doctrine becomes blasphemy if it is not borne out by the corresponding testimony of the life. He who is always appealing to the Word of God without his life and conduct corresponding to this knowledge of God, dishonours God's name, making Him an object of mockery and hatred. It is just those who know so well how to talk about God who make His name hateful among men, because their lives darken the picture of God and turn it into a caricature. The Lord is judged by the life of His servants; this is the truer, the more zealously they appeal to Him.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mark the Evangelist  Let a man set his heart only on doing the will of God and he is instantly free...

And if we are set upon the pursuit of God, He will sooner or later bring us to this test. Abraham's testing was, at the time, not known to him as such, yet if he had taken some course other than the one he did, the whole history off the Old Testament would have been different. God would have found His man, no doubt, but the loss to Abraham would have been tragic beyond the telling. So we will be brought one by one to the testing place, and we may never know when we are there. At that testing place there will be no dozen possible choices for us; just one and an alternative, but our whole future will be conditioned by the choice we make.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6804</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I believe women have played major roles, both tangible or intangible, in the imperial family. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34521]]></link><description><![CDATA[I believe women have played major roles, both tangible or intangible, in the imperial family.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/34521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Freedom is an internal achievement rather than an external adjustment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/364]]></link><description><![CDATA[Freedom is an internal achievement rather than an external adjustment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/364</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43601]]></link><description><![CDATA[A myth is a religion in which no one any longer believes.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/43601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No theater could sanely flourish until there was an umbilical connection between what was happening on the stage and what ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59043]]></link><description><![CDATA[No theater could sanely flourish until there was an umbilical connection between what was happening on the stage and what was happening in the world.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59043</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fear of serious injury alone cannot justify oppression of free speech and assembly.
