That is what you are asked as Christians to believe. And it is the sword, glittering but fearful. It must cut your life away from the standards of this world, away from its thought and its measures, no less than its aims and hopes. Hard and bitter is the separation, and you will be parted from many great and noble men, some perhaps your own teachers, who can accept about Jesus everything but the one thing needful. The Christian faith, if accepted, drives a wedge between its own adherents and the disciples of every other philosophy or religion, however lofty or soaring. And they will not see this; they will tell you that really your views and theirs are the same thing, and only differ in words, which, if only you were a little more highly trained, you would understand. Even among Christ's nominal servants there are many who think a little good-will is all that is needed to bridge the gulf -- a little amiability and mutual explanation, a more careful use of phrases, would soon accommodate Christianity to fashionable modes of speaking and thinking, and destroy all causes of provocation. So they would. But they would destroy also its one inalienable attraction: that of being... a wonder, and a beauty, and a terror -- no dull and drab system of thought, no mere symbolic idealism.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7672</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You need to factor in the (interest-rate) differential, as well as the costs of refinancing. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35330]]></link><description><![CDATA[You need to factor in the (interest-rate) differential, as well as the costs of refinancing.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/35330</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There was a king of Thule, Was faithful till the grave,  To whom his mistress dying,   A ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54466]]></link><description><![CDATA[There was a king of Thule, Was faithful till the grave,  To whom his mistress dying,   A golden goblet gave.    [Ger., Es war ein Konig in Tule     Gar treu bis an das Grab,      Dem sterbend seine Buhle       Einen gold'nen Becher gab.]]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/54466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thou hast prevariated with thy friend, By underhand contrivances undone me:  And while my open nature trusted in thee, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20231]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thou hast prevariated with thy friend, By underhand contrivances undone me:  And while my open nature trusted in thee,   Thou hast stept in between me and my hopes,    And ravish'd from me all my soul held dear.     Thou hast betray'd me.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/20231</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Dolores Stephan to me is almost as good as Phil Crane himself.

There is no other interpreter of the Word of God than the Author of this Word, as He Himself has said, "They shall be all taught of God" (John 6:45).
