For my part, I cannot sufficiently bewail the Condition of the Reformed Churches, who are come to a Period in Religion and will go at present no farther than the instruments of their Reformation. The Lutheran can't be drawn to go beyond what Luther saw; and the Calvinists, you see, stick fast where they were left by that great man of God, who yet saw not all things... I beseech you, remember, 'tis an Article of your Church Covenant, that you be ready to receive whatever Truth shall be made known to you from the written Word of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Simon & Jude, Apostles   Some natures will endure an immense amount of misery before they feel ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8202]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Simon & Jude, Apostles   Some natures will endure an immense amount of misery before they feel compelled to look there for help whence all help and healing come. They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect are nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination. Then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life -- to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man -- a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47071]]></link><description><![CDATA[We don't want to go back to tomorrow, we want to go forward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47071</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That?s what we?re trying to build.

S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Positive thinking will let you do everything better than negative thinking will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People who love only once in their lives are. . . shallow people.
