It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10869]]></link><description><![CDATA[A man should live if only to satisfy his curiosity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I think there's a feeling that there but for the grace of God, these sort of problems could easily happen ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31385]]></link><description><![CDATA[I think there's a feeling that there but for the grace of God, these sort of problems could easily happen to your own children.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31385</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10723]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any fool can criticize, condemn and complain and most fools do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10723</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's just a great place to be a part of.

The prophets were men called by God to serve as His messengers to a stubborn and unheeding people. They were always careful to point out that they were not voicing their own wisdom. Their warnings, entreaties, and promises were always prefaced by the awesome proclamation: "Thus says the Lord..." When the prophets did engage in prognostication, they usually were concerned with events which were fairly close at hand, such as the Assyrian conquest of Israel and the Babylonian conquest of Judah (both of which they foretold with deadly accuracy). But occasionally a prophet's vision ranged farther into the future, to the day when God would enter into a new covenant with his rebellious children. The hope of reconciliation was often linked with the coming of a very particular person, a Messiah or Savior.  What made the prophets so sure that they had a right--nay, a duty, to speak in the name of God? It is clear from their writings that they were not megalomaniacs who confused their own thoughts with the voice of God. On the contrary, they were humble men, awe-stricken by the responsibilities thrust upon them... The prophets minced no words in their indictments of the sins of Israel and Judah, and they trod especially hard on the toes of the rich, the powerful, and the pious. The Establishment responded then as some church members are wont to respond now when a preacher speaks out on controversial public issues: "One should not preach of such things!" (Micah 2:6).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Please accept my resignation.
