For the system of those who, in order to rid themselves of difficulties, do not hesitate to concede that divine inspiration regards the things of faith and morals, and nothing beyond, because (as they wrongly think) in a question of the truth or falsehood of a passage, we should consider not so much what God has said as the reason and purpose which He had in mind in saying it--this system cannot be tolerated. For all the books which the Church receives as sacred and canonical, are written wholly and entirely, with all their parts, at the dictation of the Holy Ghost: and so far is it from being possible that any error can co-exist with inspiration, that inspiration not only is essentially incompatible with error, but excludes and rejects it as absolutely and necessarily as it is impossible that God Himself, the supreme Truth, can utter that which is not true.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6350</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nothing is so secure in its position as not to be in danger from the attack even of the weak. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51065]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nothing is so secure in its position as not to be in danger from the attack even of the weak.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51065</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The music of the brook silenced all conversation. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4924]]></link><description><![CDATA[The music of the brook silenced all conversation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4924</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is a statistical fact that the wicked work harder to reach hell than the righteous do to enter heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61556]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is a statistical fact that the wicked work harder to reach hell than the righteous do to enter heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61556</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We ourselves feel that what we are doing is just a drop in the ocean.

For my part, I must not only say, but plead whilst I live in this world, and leave this testimony to the present and future ages, if these papers see the light and do survive, that if I have ever seen any thing in the ways and worship of God wherein the power of religion or godliness hath been expressed, any thing that hath represented the holiness of the gospel and the Author of it, any thing that hath looked like a preludium unto the everlasting Sabbath and rest with God, which we aim through grace to come unto, it hath been there and with them where and amongst whom the Lord's day hath been had in highest esteem, and a strict observation of it attended unto, as an ordinance of our Lord Jesus Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7207</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Our goal was to offer something unprecedented to the greatest baseball fans in America.

Her brains are made of gingerbread. Whenthe judgement day comes, God will find six crumbs. Stooping by the coffinlid waiting for something to rise as the something's always did. ImagineHis surprise, bellowing above the general noise, "Where is Effie? Shewas dead." Back to God in a tiny voice: "My name's Maybe."The first crumb said. The number two crumb picked up the song."Might, I'm called. I've done no wrong." Cried the third crumb,"I am Should. Here's our little brother Could and my big sisterWould. Don't punish us for we've been good." And the last crumb, withsome shame, whispered unto God, "My name is Must and with the others,we've been Effie, who isn't alive and never was.

Many preachers have made use of this fact to point out helpful spiritual implications; and yet, by New Testament times, the word carried no such denotation as "called out." It was simply the word for "assembly" or "congregation." It so happened that in the Greek city-states an assembly of the citizenry resulted from the people being called out of their city and summoned from their farms to participate in such gatherings. Even though the etymology of the word remains, its real meaning is just "assembly," and a Greek-speaking person of New Testament times would be no more inclined to understand ekklesia in its original etymological value of "called out" than we today would recognize "God be with you" in "good-by," which, as we may learn from the dictionary, was derived from the longer phrase.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Balance is the enemy of art. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3292]]></link><description><![CDATA[Balance is the enemy of art.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3292</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the nuclear option.
