In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There's something big coming to the outside area of Ottawa, sort of a private clinic for holistic aspects of healing. ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32101]]></link><description><![CDATA[There's something big coming to the outside area of Ottawa, sort of a private clinic for holistic aspects of healing.

You put some of the virus of some dreadful illness into a man's arm, and there is a little itchiness, some scratchiness, a slight discomfort--disagreeable, no doubt, but not the fever of the real disease, the turning and the tossing, and the ebbing strength. And we have all been inoculated with Christianity, more or less. We are on Christ's side, we wish him well, we hope that He will win, and we are even prepared to do something for Him, provided, of course, that He is reasonable, and does not make too much of an upset among our cozy comforts and our customary ways. But there is not the passion of zeal, and the burning enthusiasm, and the eagerness of self-sacrifice, of the real faith that changes character and wins the world.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Only kings, editors, and people with tapeworm have the right to use the editorial "we." ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23805]]></link><description><![CDATA[Only kings, editors, and people with tapeworm have the right to use the editorial "we."]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23805</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8357]]></link><description><![CDATA[It takes one person to forgive, it takes two people to be reunited.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8357</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never idealize others.
