This is what people have come to expect. It's not viewed as a serious continent. It's a place of strange, bizarre and illogical things, where people don't do what common sense demands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31492</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Lawrence, Deacon at Rome, Martyr, 258   There are doubtless many reasons for the degeneration of Christianity into churchiness, and the narrowing of the Gospel for all mankind into a set of approved beliefs; but the chief cause must be the worship of an inadequate god -- a cramped and regulated god who is a 'good churchman' according to the formulas of the worshipper. For actual behaviour infallibly betrays the real object of the man's worship. All Christians, whatever their Church, would of course instantly repudiate the idea that their god was a super-example of their own denomination, and it is not suggested that the worship is conscious. Nevertheless, beneath the conscious critical level of the mind it is perfectly possible for the Anglo-Catholic, for example, to conceive God as particularly pleased with Anglo-Catholicism, doubtful about Evangelicalism, and frankly displeased by all forms of Nonconformity... The ultra-low Churchman on the other hand must admit, if he is honest, that the God whom he worships disapproves most strongly of vestments, incense, and candles on the altar. The tragedy of these examples -- which could be reproduced ad nauseam any day of the week -- is not difference of opinion, which will probably be with us till the Day of Judgment, but the outrageous folly and damnable sin of trying to regard God as the Party Leader of a particular point of view.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7964</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What's in a name?

([Dr. Arthur] Way's translation shows this.) One line in a song that comes in Romans 8 has been a great help to me. Way calls the song a "Hymn of Triumph to Jesus". This is the line: "How can He [the Father] but, in giving Him [Jesus], lavish on us all things -- all?" "Freely give" means to give lavishly. What do I need today? Strength? Peace? Patience? Heavenly joy? Industry? Good temper? Power to help others? Inward contentment? Courage? Whatever it be, my God will lavish it upon me.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7560</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Need and struggle are what excite and inspire us. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57992]]></link><description><![CDATA[Need and struggle are what excite and inspire us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/57992</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good Margaret, run thee to the parlor. There shalt thou find my cousin Beatrice  Proposing with the Prince and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19694]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good Margaret, run thee to the parlor. There shalt thou find my cousin Beatrice  Proposing with the Prince and Claudio.   Whisper her ear and tell her, I and Ursley    Walk in the orchard, and our whole discourse     Is all of her.
