Remember, once more, that this is a matter of life and death. I cannot help speaking urgently, for myself, for yourselves. "Whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea." That is to say, it is the deliberate verdict of the Lord Jesus that it is better not to have lived than not to love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Advertising is the foot on the accelerator, the hand on the throttle, the spur on the flank that keeps our ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/753]]></link><description><![CDATA[Advertising is the foot on the accelerator, the hand on the throttle, the spur on the flank that keeps our economy surging forward.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/753</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The philosopher [Immanuel] Kant was right long ago to notice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The philosopher [Immanuel] Kant was right long ago to notice that moral activity implies a religious dimension. The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think INXS wants to see a darker side of me, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42727]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think INXS wants to see a darker side of me,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42727</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our neighbour's crop is always more fruitful and his cattle produce more milk than our own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50752]]></link><description><![CDATA[Our neighbour's crop is always more fruitful and his cattle produce more milk than our own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/50752</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8422]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wisdom stands at the turn in the road and calls upon us publicly, but we consider it false and despise its adherents.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He was just so mature about it.
