We must do it together -- or be cast aside together, and God in his absolute freedom goes on by other means to use His Church in hastening His Kingdom.  ...Howard Hewlett Clark    January 31, 1998  Commemoration of John Bosco, Priest, Founder of the Salesian Teaching Order, 1888  The axioms of reason are non-demonstrable assumptions. Why should faith not be granted the same privilege? The denial of the truths of faith is, in the last analysis, no less a faith than faith itself, for it rests on personal assumptions which are apart from scientific necessity. In other words, as the truth of reason carries its own evidence, so also with faith. To the mind to whom the axioms of reason are not self-evident, they cannot be proven. So also in the case of faith: for the mind that is not enlightened by faith, the evidence of faith is ridiculous. But for the man whose eyes have been enlightened by the Spirit, faith has its proper evidence, though different from that of reason. The only sufficient ground of faith is the authority of God Himself as he addresses me in His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How things look on the outside of us depends on how things are on the inside of us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2797]]></link><description><![CDATA[How things look on the outside of us depends on how things are on the inside of us.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/2797</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[These loggers are heavily armed, organized groups who are sometimes linked to drug traffickers. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36593]]></link><description><![CDATA[These loggers are heavily armed, organized groups who are sometimes linked to drug traffickers.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36593</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are two tragedies in life.

This transfigures history and experience. This puts past and present into the timeless, eternal now. This brings together God and man until Wesley talks with God as a man talks with his friend. This gives to the hymnbook its divine audacity, those passages only to be understood by such as have sat in heavenly places in Christ Jesus and, being caught up into paradise, have heard unspeakable words which it is not lawful for a man to utter.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6713</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Spring hangs her infant blossoms on the trees, Rock'd in the cradle of the western breeze. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57782]]></link><description><![CDATA[Spring hangs her infant blossoms on the trees, Rock'd in the cradle of the western breeze.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If only God would give me some clear sign!

The whole transaction of religious conversion has been made mechanical and spiritless. Faith may now be exercised without a jar to the moral life and without embarrassment to the Adamic ego. Christ may be "received" without creating any special love for Him in the soul of the receiver. The man is "saved", but he is not hungry or thirsty after God. In fact, he is specifically taught to be satisfied and encouraged to be content with little. The modern scientist has lost God amid the wonders of His world; we Christians are in real danger of losing God amid the wonders of His Word.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7122</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't beat somebody with nobody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36855]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't beat somebody with nobody.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/36855</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59987]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tyranny, like hell, is not easily conquered; yet we have this consolation with us, that the harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph.
