But it was different with those who could claim no such prerogative, and with those Jews who had become uneasy as to the grounds of such a relation and their validity -- in a word, with any who had been led by conscience to take a deeper view of the consequences of sin. So long as these were found mainly in punishment, suffering, judgment, so long 'remission of sins' -- letting off the consequences -- might suffice. But when it was recognized that sin had a far more serious consequence in alienation from God, the severing of the fellowship between God and His children, then Justification... ceased to be sufficient. 'Forgiveness' took on a deeper meaning; it connoted restoration of the fellowship, the establishment or reestablishment of a relation which could be described on the one side as fatherly, on the other as filial.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6540</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9826]]></link><description><![CDATA[No ear can hear nor tongue can tell the tortures of the inward hell!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Royko said it was the worst thing anybody could ever do to him, ...

He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If you've got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65280]]></link><description><![CDATA[If you've got them by the balls their hearts and minds will follow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65280</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Well, something must be done for May, The time is drawing nigh--  To figure in the Catalogue,   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45421]]></link><description><![CDATA[Well, something must be done for May, The time is drawing nigh--  To figure in the Catalogue,   And woo the public eye.    Something I must invent and paint;     But oh my wit is not      Like one of those kind substantives       That answer Who and What?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45421</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A child's hand in yours - what tenderness it arouses, what power it conjures.
