And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Church is not a tribe for the improvement in holiness of people who think it would be pleasant to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7857]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Church is not a tribe for the improvement in holiness of people who think it would be pleasant to be holy, a means to the integration of character for those who cannot bear their conflicts.

S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["How does the Water Come down at Lodore?" ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61307]]></link><description><![CDATA["How does the Water Come down at Lodore?"]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61307</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19918]]></link><description><![CDATA[At worst, a house unkept cannot be so distressing as a life unlived.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19918</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Inflation is bringing us true democracy.
