You make mistakes, do you not? And what happens? You make other mistakes, and when you have made all the mistakes you possibly can without drowning - and some of them many times over - what do you find? That you can swim? Well - life is just the same as learning to swim!

The same study should free us from the assumption that God will always be on our side whatever we do, will always protect His Church from temporal evil; or that He is only concerned with the faithful believers. It was precisely His concern for the wicked Ninevites that so distressed the prophet Jonah.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6571</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be witty is not enough.

I contend that the historicity does matter, and I do not see why we, who live nearly two thousand years later, should call into question an Event for which there were many eye-witnesses still living at the time when most of the New Testament was written. It was no "cunningly devised fable" but an historic irruption of God into human history which gave birth to a young church so sturdy that the pagan world could not stifle or destroy it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7791</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If the triangles made a god, they would give him three sides. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56946]]></link><description><![CDATA[If the triangles made a god, they would give him three sides.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56946</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christmas Eve The soft light from a stable door  Lies on the midnight lands; The wise men's star burns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Christmas Eve The soft light from a stable door  Lies on the midnight lands; The wise men's star burns evermore,  Over all the desert sands.
