It reveals a split personality in which faith is "observed" and appraised, thus negating that unity born of a dying-unto-self, which is the definition of faith. To "value" faith is to turn it into a metaphysical magic, the advantages of which ought to be reserved for a spiritual elite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7121</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything in the universe has a purpose.

Now I'm a little more . . . jaded •Source Unknown  People say the word 'naive' as if it were a bad thing. Frankly, I believe that being naive, like a child, is being innocent. Being innocent is happiness. Once innocence is lost there is no turning back, we have now become cynical and jaded adults •Source Unknown  We'll have to change our jaded ways, but I've loved these days. •Billy Joel  ...time misspent and faculties mis-employed, and senses jaded by labor, or impaired by excess, cannot be recalled any more than that freshness of the heart, before it has become aware of the deceits of others, and of its own. •John Randolph  I'm not jaded but I'm not controlled by my emotions. It's not that I'm emotionless, I just have the ability not to be controlled by things like love and hate. •Marilyn Manson  If I don't make it know that, I've loved you all along. Just like sunny days that, we didn't know because we're all dumb and jaded , and I pray to God I figure out whats wrong.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23117</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You campaign in poetry.

"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13857]]></link><description><![CDATA[In the End, we will remember not the words of our enemies, but the silence of our friends.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13857</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[The AP] informed us last semester their operations were to shut down, ...
