And until we understand the Gospel, the good news about our brother-king -- until we understand Him, until we have His Spirit, promised so freely to them that ask it -- all the Epistles, the words of men who were full of Him, and wrote out of that fullness, who loved Him so utterly that by that very love they were lifted into the air of pure reason and right, and would die for Him, without two thoughts about it, in the very simplicity of no choice -- the Letters, I say, of such men are to us a sealed book. Until we love the Lord so as to do what He tells us, we have no right to an opinion about what one of those men meant; for all they wrote is about things beyond us. The simplest woman who tries not to judge her neighbor, or not to be anxious for the morrow, will better know what is best to know, than the best-read bishop without that one simple outgoing of his highest nature in the effort to do the will of Him who thus spoke.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8069</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's very important for us as a team to have this long week of games on the road because when ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30489]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's very important for us as a team to have this long week of games on the road because when the tournament comes, this will be great preparation for it.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6944</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Believe Robert who has tried it. [Lat., Experto crede Roberto.] ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14671]]></link><description><![CDATA[Believe Robert who has tried it. [Lat., Experto crede Roberto.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14671</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The love of money is the root of all evil. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42997]]></link><description><![CDATA[The love of money is the root of all evil.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42997</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20431]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the keys to happiness is a bad memory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20431</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Mission Statement is a dense slab of words that a large organization produces when it needs to establish that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47730]]></link><description><![CDATA[A Mission Statement is a dense slab of words that a large organization produces when it needs to establish that its workers are not just sitting around downloading Internet porn]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47730</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Two wrongs do not make a right. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62455]]></link><description><![CDATA[Two wrongs do not make a right.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62455</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have a blue print for how to make a national or state fund work after the success of the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39196]]></link><description><![CDATA[We have a blue print for how to make a national or state fund work after the success of the Florida catastrophe fund.

Utopias are the straws to which those cling who have no real hope; utopias are as unattractive as they are incredible, for those who know what real hope is. Utopias are not a consequence of true hope but a poor substitute for it and therefore a hindrance and not a help. The hope that is in Jesus Christ is different from all utopias of universal progress. It is based on the revelation of the crucified one. It is, therefore, not an uncertain speculation about the future but a certainty based upon what God has already revealed. One cannot believe in Jesus Christ without knowing for certain that God's victory over all powers of destruction, including death, is the end towards which the time process moves as its own end.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6628</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ask me my three priorities for Government, and I tell you: education, education and education. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13390]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ask me my three priorities for Government, and I tell you: education, education and education.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13390</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I feel a whole lot better.
