How we shall experience it depends upon the way we shall come up against it: God does not change; it is man's moral state that changes. The wrath of God is a figure of speech to denote God's unchanging opposition to sin; it is His righteous love operating to destroy evil. It is not evil that will have the last word, but good; not sorrow, but joy; not hate, but love.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6888</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Illustrious Predecessor. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14386]]></link><description><![CDATA[Illustrious Predecessor.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14386</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here's a health to the glow-worm, Death's sober lamplighter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17578]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here's a health to the glow-worm, Death's sober lamplighter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51827]]></link><description><![CDATA[The descent to the infernal regions is easy enough, but to retrace one's steps, and reach the air above, there's the rub.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51827</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's so easy to be wicked without knowing it, isn't it? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61548]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's so easy to be wicked without knowing it, isn't it?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61548</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   I know there are many who have pitied my beginnings, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6828]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Martyrs of Papua New Guinea, 1942   I know there are many who have pitied my beginnings, thinking it tragic that I had to endure such traumas both as a child and throughout my life, but I confess that I have rather pitied those who have never tasted the bitterness of a trial "too severe." For how is one to appreciate the contrast of light's dawning hope if his soul has never trembled through the dark hours of a nightmare's watch? Or how can one prove God's faithfulness if he never is granted the privilege of wandering through a barren desert, where only pools of Christ's Presence can possibly provide survival? It is a great honor to be apportioned pain. Christ Himself, though God incarnate, learned obedience through what He suffered. Dare we assume that we as His children can be taught by any wiser or kinder instructor than the severity of unwanted pain? We dare not steel ourselves against our trials, running away from the fires where our pruned branches crumble to ashes. For if we escape those flames, we will risk barrenness of soul and will miss out on the beauty that only is born through the ashes of yesterday's grief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6828</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4869]]></link><description><![CDATA[A coward is incapable of exhibiting love; it is the prerogative of the brave.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4869</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66909]]></link><description><![CDATA[If something can corrupt you, you're corrupted already.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66909</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[...beware of mathematicians, and all those who make empty prophecies.
