All too often, evangelicals are paper people. If we do not preach these things, talk about them to each other, and teach them carefully from the pulpit and in the Christian classroom, we cannot expect Christians so to act. This has always been important, but it is especially so today because we are surrounded by a world in which personality is increasingly eroded. If we, who have become God's children, do not show Him to be personal in our lives, then in practice we are denying His existence, and He cannot be anything but grieved.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The best prophet is common sense, our native wit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1103]]></link><description><![CDATA[The best prophet is common sense, our native wit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1103</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They have become the really hot projects.

He must therefore plunge himself into the life of a godless world, without attempting to gloss over its ungodliness with a veneer of religion or trying to transfigure it. He must live a 'worldly' life and so participate in the suffering of God. He may live a worldly life as one emancipated from all false religions and obligations. To be a Christian does not mean to be religious in a particular way, to cultivate some particular form of asceticism (as a sinner, a penitent, or a saint), but to be a man. It is not some religious act which makes a Christian what he is, but participation in the suffering of God in the life of the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8594</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Liberality consists less in giving a great deal than in gifts well-timed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17268]]></link><description><![CDATA[Liberality consists less in giving a great deal than in gifts well-timed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17268</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is not given but exchanged. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18662]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is not given but exchanged.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18662</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Tear man out of his outward circumstances; and what he then is; that only is he. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Tear man out of his outward circumstances; and what he then is; that only is he.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It will be very hard for anyone to pigeonhole Allen as belonging to any one faction of the Republican Party. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35090]]></link><description><![CDATA[It will be very hard for anyone to pigeonhole Allen as belonging to any one faction of the Republican Party.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35090</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This could be our new favorite place to play.
