Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Security is mostly a superstition.

Those who would give a quick, easy or confident answer to this question have failed to understand it. It cannot even be seriously considered without a profound awareness of the extent to which Christian ideas have lost their hold over, or faded from the consciousness of, large sections of the population; of the far-reaching changes that would be called for in the structure, institutions and activities of existing society, which is in many of its features a complete denial of the Christian understanding of the meaning and end of man's existence; and of the stupendous and costly spiritual, moral, and intellectual effort that any genuine attempt to order national life in accordance with the Christian understanding of life would demand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7190</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[At the time, my grandparents told my mom, "Lordy, what is Shannen doing?"

We should therefore take care not to derive the least portion of it from anywhere else. If we seek salvation, we are taught by the very name of Jesus that it is "of him". If we seek any other gifts of the Spirit, they will be found in his anointing. If we seek strength, it lies in his dominion; if purity, in his conception; if gentleness, it appears in his birth. For by his birth he was made like us in all respects that he might learn to feel our pain. If we seek redemption, it lies in his passion; if acquittal, in his condemnation; if remission of the curse, in his cross; if satisfaction, in his sacrifice; if purification, in his blood; if reconciliation, in his descent into hell; if mortification of the flesh, in his tomb; if newness of life, in his resurrection; if immortality, in the same; if inheritance of the Heavenly Kingdom, in his entrance into heaven; if protection, if security, if abundant supply of all blessings, in his Kingdom; if untroubled expectation of judgment, in the power given to him to judge. In short, since rich store of every kind of good abounds in him, let us drink our fill from this fountain, and from no other.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7546</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Gray sail against the sky, Gray butterfly!  Have you a dream for going.   Or are you the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5149]]></link><description><![CDATA[Gray sail against the sky, Gray butterfly!  Have you a dream for going.   Or are you the blind wind's blowing?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5149</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43970]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the depth of winter I finally learned that there was in me an invincible summer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43970</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Change, when it comes, cracks everything open. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33883]]></link><description><![CDATA[Change, when it comes, cracks everything open.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33883</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Adversity deprives us of our judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51658]]></link><description><![CDATA[Adversity deprives us of our judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51658</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A major advantage of age is learning to accept people without passing judgment. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23488]]></link><description><![CDATA[A major advantage of age is learning to accept people without passing judgment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I have seen the day of wrong through the little hole of discretion. -Love's Labour 's Lost.

First, that He was a Sabbath-breaker. Secondly, that He was "a gluttonous man and a winebibber, a friend of publicans and sinners" -- or (to draw aside the veil of Elizabethan English that makes it sound so much more respectable) that He ate too heartily, drank too freely, and kept very disreputable company, including grafters of the lowest type and ladies who were no better than they should be. For nineteen and a half centuries, the Christian Churches have laboured, not without success, to remove this unfortunate impression made by their Lord and Master. They have hustled the Magdalens from the Communion-table, founded Total Abstinence Societies in the name of Him who made the water wine, and added improvements of their own, such as various bans and anathemas upon dancing and theatre-going. They have transferred the Sabbath from Saturday to Sunday, and, feeling that the original commandment "Thou shalt not work" was rather half-hearted, have added to it the new commandment, "Thou shalt not play.".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7289</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One thing, however, I must premise, that without the assistance of natural capacity, rules and precepts are of no efficacy. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41]]></link><description><![CDATA[One thing, however, I must premise, that without the assistance of natural capacity, rules and precepts are of no efficacy. [Lat., Illud tamen in primis testandum est, nihil praecepta atque artes valere nisi adjuvante natura.]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Money is like love; it kills slowly and painfully the one who withholds it, and enlivens the other who turns it on his fellow man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are many, many prayer services around the world, with people praying for his speedy recovery. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36744]]></link><description><![CDATA[There are many, many prayer services around the world, with people praying for his speedy recovery.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36744</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A boy becomes an adult three years before his parents think he does,and about two years after he thinks he ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21861]]></link><description><![CDATA[A boy becomes an adult three years before his parents think he does,and about two years after he thinks he does.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intellects whose desires have outstripped their understanding. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35198]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intellects whose desires have outstripped their understanding.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35198</guid></item></channel></rss>
