The whole Bible proclaims the need for, and the achievement of, a salvation that will remake creation, and it is just such a salvation, at once supernatural and historical, that was won on Easter Day. If the Resurrection narratives are [merely] a subtle way of convincing us that God still loves us, or that there is a life beyond death, they must be reckoned among the oddest and most ill-conceived stories ever written.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You really have to experience the feeling of being with the president in the oval office. ...

Irving teaches me the lesson of cheerfulness, Hawthorne shows me the hatefulness of sin, Longfellow gives me the soft, tranquil music of hope. Lowell makes us feel that we must give ourselves to our fellow men. Whittier sings to me of divine Fatherhood and human brotherhood. These are Christian lessons: who inspired them? Who put it into the heart of Martin Luther to nail those theses on the church door of Wittenberg? Who stirred and fired the soul of Savonarola? Who thrilled and electrified the soul of John Wesley? Jesus Christ is back of these all.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6583</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O, sorrow! Why dost borrow  Heart's lightness from the merriment of May? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57255]]></link><description><![CDATA[O, sorrow! Why dost borrow  Heart's lightness from the merriment of May?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57255</guid></item></channel></rss>
