And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too... Christ hath excommunicated no nation, no shire, no house, no man; He gives none of His ministers leave to say to any man, thou art not redeemed; He gives no wounded or afflicted conscience leave to say to itself, I am not redeemed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8046</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaidand deeds left undone. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11350]]></link><description><![CDATA[The bitterest tears shed over graves are for words left unsaidand deeds left undone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25829]]></link><description><![CDATA[Among those whom I like or admire, I can find no common denominator, but among those whom I love, I can: all of them make me laugh.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62500]]></link><description><![CDATA[Whatever is a reality today, whatever you touch and believe in and that seems real for you today, is going to be -- like the reality of yesterday -- an illusion tomorrow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Even doubtful accusations leave a stain behind them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17917]]></link><description><![CDATA[Even doubtful accusations leave a stain behind them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17917</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Prions are highly indestructible. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11068]]></link><description><![CDATA[Prions are highly indestructible.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11068</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He hath eaten me out of house and home. -King Henry IV.

How do we distinguish real Truth from human notions and ideas and opinions and doctrines? We are compelled to say that the word "true" means "grounded in reality, based on the real nature of things, on the basic facts which underlie the universe." Hence, if people say -- as many have said -- that the moral ideals set out in the gospels are high and noble ideals, and express admiration for the moral character of Jesus, and stop there, not daring to affirm more than that, the answer they are giving to the Question, "Is the Gospel true?", is No.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6659</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...as long as mankind shall continue to bestow more liberal applause on their destroyers than on their benefactors, the thirst ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47646]]></link><description><![CDATA[...as long as mankind shall continue to bestow more liberal applause on their destroyers than on their benefactors, the thirst of military glory will ever be the vice of the most exalted characters.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47646</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The doctrine of the blessed Trinity is a reminder of the supernaturalness of biblical Christianity.
