He called for the love of our enemies, not their destruction; ... for readiness to suffer instead of using force; for forgiveness instead of hate and revenge. One might even say [that] Jesus was more revolutionary than the revolutionaries, or revolutionary in a very different way. The revolution he had in mind was a radical change of heart on the part of mankind, involving conversion away from selfishness and toward the willing service of God and of people in general.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6323</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34973]]></link><description><![CDATA[I maintain the rather old-fashioned view that this is my work and it's in the public arena, but that doesn't entitle everyone to know what happened at home before coming here.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The mind and the voice by themselves are not sufficient. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64478]]></link><description><![CDATA[The mind and the voice by themselves are not sufficient.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Major streets are littered with bodies of people killed today, most of them northerners. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36784]]></link><description><![CDATA[Major streets are littered with bodies of people killed today, most of them northerners.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36784</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There have always been two kinds of Christianity -- man's and Christ's.

Does anyone today remember how the emperor Constantine made Christianity the official religion? It is said that he had a vision -- saw a cross in the sky with the inscription, "In this sign shalt thou conquer." He accepted the new faith promptly, because he thought it would defeat his enemies for him. That is man's Christianity, a means to earthly triumph. And in our present crisis we are appealing to it to defeat the Russians for us. We hear of the life-and-death struggle between Christianity and Communism, the necessity of "keeping God alive as a social force" -- as if our Lord could not survive a Soviet victory! It is a poor sort of faith that imagines Christ defeated by anything men can do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Service to others is the rent which you pay for your room here on earth. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57718]]></link><description><![CDATA[Service to others is the rent which you pay for your room here on earth.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57718</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A Corpse or a Ghost-- . . .

For God reigns in the hearts of His servants; there is His Kingdom. The power of grace hath subdued all His enemies; there is His power. They serve Him night and day, and give Him thanks and praise; that is His glory. This is the religion and worship of God in the temple. [Continued tomorrow]  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 11, 1997  Commemoration of Ethelburga, Abbess of Barking, 675  The temple itself is the heart of man, Christ is the high priest, who from thence sends up the incense of prayers, and joins them to His own intercession and presents all together to His Father; and the Holy Ghost by His dwelling there hath also consecrated it into a temple; and God dwells in our hearts by faith, and Christ by His Spirit, and the spirit by His purities: so that we are also cabinets of the mysterious Trinity, and what is this short of heaven itself, but as infancy is short of manhood?... The same state of life it is, but not the same age. It is heaven in a looking glass, dark but yet true, representing the beauties of the soul, and the grace of God, and the images of His eternal glory, by the reality of a special presence.  ...Jeremy Taylor, Holy Living    October 12, 1997  Commemoration of Wilfrid, Abbot of Ripon, Bishop of York, Missionary, 709 Commemoration of Elizabeth Fry, Prison Reformer, 1845  If God reveal anything to you by any other instrument of His, be as ready to receive it as ever you were to receive any truth by my ministry: for I am verily persuaded, the Lord has more truth yet to break forth out of His holy Word.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6500</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30382]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want to emphasize that a large earthquake such as 1906 is not just a San Francisco quake, but a Northern California earthquake.
