To accept that as the will of our Lord which to us is inconsistent with what we learned to worship in Him already, is to introduce discord into that harmony whose end is to unite our hearts, and make them whole. "Is it for us," says the objector who, by some sleight of will, believes in the word apart from the meaning for which it stands, "to judge the character of our Lord?" I answer, "This very thing He requires of us." He requires of us that we should do Him no injustice. He would come and dwell with us, if we would but open our chambers to receive Him. How shall we receive Him is, avoiding judgement, we hold this or that daub of authority or tradition hanging upon our walls to be the real likeness of our Lord?]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8429</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[By Nebo's lonely mountain, On this side Jordan's wave,  In a vale in the land of Moab,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18199]]></link><description><![CDATA[By Nebo's lonely mountain, On this side Jordan's wave,  In a vale in the land of Moab,   There lies a lonely grave;    But no man built that sepulcher,     And no man saw it e'er,      For the angels of God upturned the sod       And laid the dead man there.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/18199</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two cannot fall out if one does not choose. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52684]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two cannot fall out if one does not choose.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/52684</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16741]]></link><description><![CDATA[The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/16741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That second requirement is going to be hard to prove in a courtroom.

The nonbelieving brave men he met in the anti-Nazi underground, the stark realities of prison life, and his disappointment in the professional churchmen of Germany, all may have influenced Bonhoeffer to see real Christianity as "non-religious" and "worldly"... The opposition between sacred and secular, supernatural and natural, seemed unreal to him -- the apparent opposites are united in Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6516</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Be awfully nice to them going up, because you're gonna meet them all coming down. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1077]]></link><description><![CDATA[Be awfully nice to them going up, because you're gonna meet them all coming down.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/1077</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are too sarcastic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50832]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are too sarcastic.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/50832</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A good listener tries to understand what the other person is saying.

Neither trouble your heads though you have not commentaries and exposition. Pray and read, read and pray; for a little from God is better than a great deal from men. Also, what is from men is uncertain, and is often lost and tumbled over by men; but what is from God is fixed as a nail in a sure place. There is nothing that so abides with us as what we receive from God; and the reason why the Christians in this day are at such a loss as to some things is that they are contented with what comes from men's mouths, without searching and kneeling before God to know of Him the truth of things. Things we receive at God's hands come to us as truths from the minting house, though old in themselves, yet new to us. Old truths are always new to us if they come with the smell of Heaven upon them.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/6895</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All that glisters is not gold. -The Merchant of Venice.
