This is testimony, the apostolic testimony, and this, with the energy of love, is the missionary motive. The insistent task of missionary education and responsibility is to engender this motive throughout the Church, a task that can only be accomplished as men are confronted anew with the message of the Bible and with its supreme and central story, the story of the cross.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7710</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To the sick man the physician when he enters seems to have three faces, those of a man, a devil, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16480]]></link><description><![CDATA[To the sick man the physician when he enters seems to have three faces, those of a man, a devil, a god.

The first: that the consciences of believers, in seeking assurance of their justification before God, should rise above and advance beyond the law, forgetting all law righteousness... The second part, dependent upon the first, is that consciences observe the law, not as if constrained by the necessity of the law, but that freed from the law's yoke they willingly obey God's will... The third part of Christian freedom lies in this: regarding outward things that are of themselves "indifferent", we are not bound before God by any religious obligation preventing us from sometimes using them and other times not using them, indifferently... Accordingly, it is perversely interpreted both by those who allege it as an excuse for their desires that they may abuse God's good gifts to their own lust and by those who think that freedom does not exist unless it is used before men, and consequently, in using it have no regard for weaker brethren... Nothing is plainer than this rule: that we should use our freedom if it results in the edification of our neighbor, but if it does not help our neighbor, then we should forego it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8074</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Resolve to make each day the very best and don't let anyone get in your way.
