And how absurd would it be that in satisfying men you should incur the displeasure of him for whose sake you obey men themselves! The Lord, therefore, is the King of Kings, who, when he has opened his sacred mouth, must alone be heard, before all and above all men; next to him we are subject to those men who are in authority over us, but only in him. If they command anything against him, let it go unesteemed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7812</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The pursuit of the perfect, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58484]]></link><description><![CDATA[The pursuit of the perfect, then, is the pursuit of sweetness and light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58484</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18459]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sin with the multitude, and your responsibility and guilt are as great and as truly personal, as if you alone had done the wrong]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18459</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know what rock musicians are?

But unfortunately this has not proved true, though we can consider it fortunate indeed that, as this inability to unify proves, the letter of the Bible cannot really replace the living Christ as the center of our faith. The Bible is the expression of the life and work of God, and since life is greater than its expression, it cannot be expressed completely in any logical or theological form. Therefore, the Bible itself cannot escape being understood in many different ways. Thus we see how in the wisdom of God it is impossible in practice to make the Scriptures the end or final authority to those who live in fellowship with the Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7955</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The third floor is a total loss.

Do they not set forth the covenant of grace? The doctrine of justification by faith -- does not Paul in his Epistle to the Romans prove it from Genesis and from the Psalms? Where is the doctrine of substitution and the vicarious sufferings of the messiah set forth more clearly than in Leviticus and in the 53rd of Isaiah? The term "Old Testament" leads people to fancy it is an antiquated book; whereas, in many respects, it is newer than the New Testament, referring more fully to the age of glory and blessedness on the earth which is still before us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7044</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Conceit is God's gift to little men ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Conceit is God's gift to little men]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What we need is Star Peace and not Star Wars. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44115]]></link><description><![CDATA[What we need is Star Peace and not Star Wars.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44115</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate chooses our relatives, we choose our friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We should have done more damage to the Iraqi forces before they withdrew from the Kuwaiti theater. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40674]]></link><description><![CDATA[We should have done more damage to the Iraqi forces before they withdrew from the Kuwaiti theater.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40674</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday   We usually think of Jesus in the upper room as calmly and patiently preparing his disciples ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6375]]></link><description><![CDATA[Maundy Thursday   We usually think of Jesus in the upper room as calmly and patiently preparing his disciples for their coming crisis; only in the garden are we shown his deep anguish over what lies ahead for himself. But if this verse ("'They hated me without a cause." Ps. 69:4) occurred to Jesus as describing his enemies, surely he was also identifying with the rest of [Psalm 69] with its vivid description of overwhelming troubles and importune cries to God for deliverance. What in the upper room was still under the surface was openly expressed in the garden.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6375</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are the children of a technological age.
