"Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sins become more subtle as you grow older: you commit sins of despair rather than lust. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56408]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sins become more subtle as you grow older: you commit sins of despair rather than lust.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56408</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ten day ago I drowned these news in tears; And now, to add more measure to your woes,  I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44472]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ten day ago I drowned these news in tears; And now, to add more measure to your woes,  I come to tell you things sith then befallen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/44472</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world - or ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47925]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have the power to make this the best generation of mankind in the history of the world - or to make it the last.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47925</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[World trade means competition from anywhere; advancing technology encourages cross-industry competition.

It is not central heating which makes his existence 'unnatural,' but his refusal to take an interest in the principles behind it. By being entirely dependent on science, yet closing his mind to it, he leads the life of an urban barbarian.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist, Reformer of the Church, 1093 Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6671]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Margaret, Queen of Scotland, Philanthropist, Reformer of the Church, 1093 Commemoration of Edmund Rich of Abingdon, Archbishop of Canterbury, 1240  As a man increases in moral strength of character, so his conscience becomes more sensitive; he realizes more keenly the distance that separates him from the ideal, and hence the weight of the feeling of guiltiness oppresses him ever more heavily. Growth in goodness does not, therefore, necessarily imply increased happiness, on the contrary, it may mean greater unhappiness. And his unhappiness increasing in proportion to the elevation of his ethical standards, a man's end is either Buddha or suicide if he knows no God; while if he knows God, it is despair or that conversion which, having sobbed away its tears on the Father's breast, thence derives ever new strength to fight the battle of life, sure of the final victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The only things they did were headers and throw-ins.
