The seven works of spiritual mercy be these: teach men the truth, counsel men to hold with Christ's law, chastise sinners by moderate reproving in charity, comfort sorrowful men by Christ's passion, forgive wrongs, suffer meekly reproofs for the right of God's law, pray heartily for friend and for foe.   ... Middle English Sermons  September 6, 2001 Commemoration of Allen Gardiner, founder of the South American Missionary Society, 1851 Commemoration of Albert Schweitzer, Teacher, Physician, Missionary, 1965   Of the access for us, at any rate, to the spirit of life -- us who were born in Christendom, and are in touch, conscious or unconscious, with Christianity -- this is the true account. Questions over which the churches spend so much labour and time -- questions about the Trinity, about the godhead of Christ, about the procession of the Holy Ghost -- are not vital; what is vital is the doctrine of access to the spirit of life through Christ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7884</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Thy voice sounds like a prophet's word; And in its hollow tones are heard  The thanks of millions yet ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48453]]></link><description><![CDATA[Thy voice sounds like a prophet's word; And in its hollow tones are heard  The thanks of millions yet to be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48453</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4328]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the country of the blind the one-eyed man is king.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who knows he has enough is rich. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21545]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who knows he has enough is rich.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21545</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The power and diversity of the Armed Forces, active Guard and Reserve, the resolve of our fellow citizens, the flexibility ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11829]]></link><description><![CDATA[The power and diversity of the Armed Forces, active Guard and Reserve, the resolve of our fellow citizens, the flexibility in our command to navigate international waters that remain troubled are all essential to our security.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11829</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6717]]></link><description><![CDATA[We can stand affliction better than we can prosperity, for in prosperity we forget God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6717</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Danny's the last of that generation of players that saved baseball in Seattle.

It only behooves us to labor that we may be vessels of gold or of silver. But to break in pieces the vessels of earth belongs to the Lord alone, to whom a rod of iron is also given. Nor let any one arrogate to himself what is exclusively the province of the Son of God, by pretending to fan the floor, clear away the chaff, and separate all the tares by the Judgment of man.

No doubt there are very good excuses for this lack of discipline. Many forward-thinking men will tell you that the Bible is not worth serious attention, that it is simple, trivial, and out-of-date; and so, even though you may hear the Bible read, read it yourselves, or even study it, the tension of your energy may be relaxed -- subtly relaxed. But is quite certain that a widespread relaxation of the tension of Biblical interpretation has disastrous effects. For there is no corruption that threatens a country so surely as the corruption or sentimentalizing of its religion; and there is no corruption of the Christian religion so swift as that which sets in when the Church loses its strict Biblical discipline.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7861</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To shoot at crows is powder flung away. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10771]]></link><description><![CDATA[To shoot at crows is powder flung away.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10771</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In ways and thoughts of weakness and of wrong, Threads turn to cords, and cords to cables strong. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18539]]></link><description><![CDATA[In ways and thoughts of weakness and of wrong, Threads turn to cords, and cords to cables strong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18539</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Since you know all, and I nothing, tell me what I dreamed last night. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49748]]></link><description><![CDATA[Since you know all, and I nothing, tell me what I dreamed last night.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49748</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Biography lends to death a new terror. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4217]]></link><description><![CDATA[Biography lends to death a new terror.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4217</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happiness is an inside job ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23284]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happiness is an inside job]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23284</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When one makes a Revolution, one cannot mark time; one must always go forward -- or go back.

He reaches out to foreigners who are beyond the borders of the "Israel of God". He seeks the release of captives, prisoners, and slaves. He denounces the scribes and religious leaders who "devour the houses of widows". Despite his well-known requirement of loyalty that surpasses family ties, he insists that a man put the care of his own parents ahead of his obligations to his religion. His treatment of women is radically opposed to the strictures of that day. He exhibits sympathy and understanding toward children. He operates an out-patient clinic wherever he happens to be. He insists upon justice as the basis for everyday dealings between citizens. The social teaching of parables like "the good Samaritan" and incidents such as the encounter with the rich young ruler have had an effect upon his followers that cannot easily be measured. If one summary statement of Jesus' ethics can be made, it is that love of God is best shown by love of fellow men.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6598</guid></item></channel></rss>
