The two ideas of Free-will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconciled in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many victories worse than a defeat. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60598]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many victories worse than a defeat.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/60598</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Some of us have not much time to lose [to begin loving].

Remember, once more, that this is a matter of life and death. I cannot help speaking urgently, for myself, for yourselves. "Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." That is to say, it is the deliberate verdict of the Lord Jesus that it is better not to have lived than not to love.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . the great thing to learn about life is, first, not to do what you don't want to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41508]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . the great thing to learn about life is, first, not to do what you don't want to do, and, second, to do what you do want to do.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/41508</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  Can the love of Christ move a Christian to fruitful, effective, full-time, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6968]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dunstan, Archbishop of Canterbury, 988  Can the love of Christ move a Christian to fruitful, effective, full-time, unpaid service to those who belong to Him? I have no hesitation in answering, Yes, it can, and it must. St. Paul wrote, "The very spring of our actions is the love of Christ. We look at it this way: if one died for all men, then in a sense, they all died; and his purpose in dying for them is that their lives should now be no longer lived for themselves but for Him who died and rose again for them." There is the motive. Can anyone doubt that St. Paul's ministry was fruitful -- in wisdom, in Christ-like character, in testimony to the power of the Spirit of Christ -- or effective -- in conversions, in churches planted, in men raised up to carry on the work? Yet St. Paul spent long hours working with his hands to support himself. He served Christ, therefore, as an "amateur". Dare we say he was not really a "full time" worker? Or was he not really "unpaid"?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6968</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gallantry to women--the sure road to their favor--is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17154]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gallantry to women--the sure road to their favor--is nothing but the appearance of extreme devotion to all their wants and wishes, a delight in their satisfaction, and a confidence in yourself as being able to contribute toward it.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/17154</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let your speech be alway with grace, seasoned with salt, that ye may know how ye ought to answer every man.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Old age is like everything else.
