The Colloquies of Erasmus    April 30, 1998  Commemoration of Pandita Mary Ramabai, Translator of the Scriptures, 1922  What keeps most men in "Christian" countries from being heretics in this sense is that they do not publicly avow their disbelief: it is in better taste to be casual about lost beliefs, and a note of wistfulness generally ensures forgiveness. Obstinacy is rare. Millions do not even know that they deny essential Christian doctrines: they have never bothered to find out what the essential doctrines are. In extenuation they may plead that the evasiveness and the multiplicity of churches create a difficulty; but to be deterred by this when one's eternal destiny is said to be at stake bespeaks a glaring lack of seriousness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/7711</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To free the mind from the habit of competition, we must see in detail the process by which the mind ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57501]]></link><description><![CDATA[To free the mind from the habit of competition, we must see in detail the process by which the mind is ensnared by competition.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/57501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59180]]></link><description><![CDATA[The general root of superstition is that men observe when things hit, and not when they miss, and commit to memory the one, and pass over the other.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/59180</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[How does Johnny Cash say it?

It is not an idea in the air but feet on the ground going God's way. It is not an exotic to be kept under glass, but a hardy plant to bear twelve months of fruits in all kinds of weather. Fidelity to duty is its root and branch. Nothing we can say to the Lord, no calling Him by great or dear names, can take the place of the plain doing of His will. We may cry out about the beauty of eating bread with Him in His kingdom, but it is wasted breath and a rootless hope unless we plow and plant in His kingdom here and now. To remember Him at His table and to forget Him at ours, is to have invested in bad securities. There is no substitute for plain, every-day goodness.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/8303</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Patience is the key to contentment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9990]]></link><description><![CDATA[Patience is the key to contentment.]]></description><guid>http://www.maxioms.com/maxiom/9990</guid></item></channel></rss>
