Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64272]]></link><description><![CDATA[Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64272</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am pleased to be praised by a man so praised as you, father. [Words used by Hector.] [Lat., Laetus ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48003]]></link><description><![CDATA[I am pleased to be praised by a man so praised as you, father. [Words used by Hector.] [Lat., Laetus sum  Laudari me abs te, pater, laudato viro.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I am ready to meet my Maker.

Righteousness comes back when man by faith is brought to walk with God again, and to give Him His true place by acting or being acted upon in all things according to His will. Anything, therefore, not of faith is sin. And all such sin is bondage. Self-will is bondage, for self-will or independence of God means dependence on a creature; and we cannot be dependent on a creature, be it what it may, without (more or less) becoming subject to it. What has not been given up for money, or for some creature's love? But who has ever thus served the creature more than the Creator without waking at last to feel he is a bondman? I say nothing of the worse bondage which comes from our self-will, in the indulgence of our own thoughts, or passions, or affections. Even the very energies of faith, while, as yet unchastened, it acts from self, ... may only bring forth more bondage... Who but God can set men free? And He sets them free as they walk with Him. All independence of Him is darkness.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7987</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33881]]></link><description><![CDATA[The horror of class stratification, racism, and prejudice is that some people begin to believe that the security of their families and communities depends on the oppression of others, that for some to have good lives there must be others whose lives are truncated and brutal.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33881</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Rose of Lima, Contemplative, 1617   Lift up your heart to Him, sometimes even at your meals, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7881]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Rose of Lima, Contemplative, 1617   Lift up your heart to Him, sometimes even at your meals, and when you are in company; the least little remembrance will always be acceptable to Him.

The Confessions of St. Augustine June 19, 1996 Commemoration of Sundar Singh of India, Sadhu, Evangelist, Teacher, 1929  Many we have who plead themselves to be Christians. This might be allowed them, would they not do such things as the Christian religion abhors. But this is the least part of their claim.
