The two ideas of Free-will and Divine Sovereignty can not be reconciled in our own minds, but that does not prevent them from being reconciled in God's mind. We measure Him by our own intellectual standard if we think otherwise. And so our solution of the problem of Free-will and of the problems of history and of individual salvation must finally lie in the full acceptance and realisation of what is implied by the infinity and the omniscience of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6891</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Want, the mistress of invention. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23003]]></link><description><![CDATA[Want, the mistress of invention.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23003</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There is a need to find and sing our own song, to stretch our limbs and shake them in a ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62478]]></link><description><![CDATA[There is a need to find and sing our own song, to stretch our limbs and shake them in a dance so wild that nothing can roost there, that stirs the yearning for solitary voyage.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62478</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hee that will deceive the fox, must rise betimes. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49482]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hee that will deceive the fox, must rise betimes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49482</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Just coming from playing in a hostile atmosphere, we knew Louisville was going to be tough.

It is illogical to tell men that they must do the will of God and accept his gospel of grace, if you also tell them that the obligation has no eternal significance, and that nothing ultimately depends on it. The curious modern heresy that everything is bound to come right in the end is so frivolous that I will not insult you by refuting it. "I remember," said Dr. [Samuel] Johnson on one occasion, "that my Maker has said that he will place the sheep on his right hand and the goats on his left." That is a solemn truth which only the empty-headed and empty-hearted will neglect. It strikes at the very roots of life and destiny.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6337</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11257]]></link><description><![CDATA[To appreciate heaven well, it's good for a person to have some fifteen minutes of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11257</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have some big, long, thin boys.
