St. John of the Cross  December 15, 2000   Two thousand years of failure have not taught some reformers that you can't stop sin by declaring it illegal. Two thousand years have not taught them that you can't save a man's soul by force -- you can only lose your own in the attempt. Drunkenness and gambling and secularism and lechery -- various hopeful churchmen have earnestly tried to outlaw them all; and what is the result? A drunken nation, a gambling nation, a secularist nation, an adulterous nation. And, often, a ruined Church.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He is well paid that is well satisfied, And I delivering you am satisfied,  And therein do account myself ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54732]]></link><description><![CDATA[He is well paid that is well satisfied, And I delivering you am satisfied,  And therein do account myself well paid;   My mind was never yet more mercenary.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54732</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lukewarm acceptance is more bewildering than outright rejection. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52913]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lukewarm acceptance is more bewildering than outright rejection.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52913</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nonsense is to sense, as shade to light; it heightens effect ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44601]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nonsense is to sense, as shade to light; it heightens effect]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44601</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Over the two games Liverpool fully deserved to go through, ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40195]]></link><description><![CDATA[Over the two games Liverpool fully deserved to go through,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/40195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It gives them an incentive to market the film aggressively to their constituents.

The invisible church, composed of all Spirit-baptized persons, is indefectible, it cannot be ruined; against it "the gates of Hades shall not prevail." The local assembly may indeed by sadly ruined; but it can be restored, as, by the grace of God, has been seen times without number -- at Corinth, for example. The only other institution in question is that agglomeration of sects that is called "Christendom." But that is unrecognized by the New Testament -- it is not of God at all: and that it is "in ruins" is no matter for our regret.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wake Forest is honored to once again host the NCAA Championships.

To possess a high spirit, to behave with proper spirit when used ill -- by which is meant, a quick feeling of injuries, and a promptness in resenting them -- entitles to commendation; and a meek-spirited disposition, the highest Scripture eulogium, expresses ideas of disapprobation and contempt. Vanity and vainglory are suffered without interruption to retain their natural possession of the heart.   ... William Wilberforce, A Practical View  July 31, 2000 Commemoration of Ignatius of Loyola, Founder of the Society of Jesus, 1556  Jesus used the term abba (which means father or "daddy" in his Aramaic mother tongue), as an address in his prayers to God. There are no other examples of this usage in contemporary Judaism, but Jesus always addressed God in this way. The others perhaps regarded it as child's talk, a form of expression too disrespectful to be so used. But for Jesus, abba expressed the filial intimacy he felt toward his Father. As the divine Son of the Father, Jesus enjoyed a unique relationship with him, and his mission in the world consisted in opening up the blessings of sonship to those who believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6688</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21733]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21733</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Maybe in order to understand mankind, we have to look at the word itself: "Mankind".
