And man would praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures; yea, man, though he bears about with him his mortality, the proof of his sin, the proof that Thou, O God, dost resist the proud, yet would man praise Thee, because he is one of Thy creatures. Thou dost prompt us thereto, making it a joy to praise Thee; for Thou hast created us unto Thyself, and our heart finds no rest until it rests in Thee. Grant me, O Lord, to know and understand which comes first, to call upon Thee, or to praise Thee, and which comes first, to know Thee or to call upon Thee.  ... The Confessions of St. Augustine    August 29, 1998  Instead of pursuing her appointed path of separation, persecution, world-hatred, poverty, and non-resistance, [the Church] has used... Scripture to justify her in lowering her purpose to the civilization of the world, the acquisition of wealth, the use of an imposing ritual, the erection of magnificent churches, the invocation of God's blessing upon the conflicts of armies, and the division of an equal brotherhood into "clergy" and "laity".]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Boll is playing hurt right now, but I need her on defense. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34261]]></link><description><![CDATA[Boll is playing hurt right now, but I need her on defense.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34261</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is like jelly beans, and sometimes you get your favorite color. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23210]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is like jelly beans, and sometimes you get your favorite color.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23210</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Character is fate.

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.

It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43105]]></link><description><![CDATA[We know no spectacle so ridiculous as the British public in one of its periodical fits of morality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43105</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[God brings men into deep waters not to drown them, but to cleanse them. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53697]]></link><description><![CDATA[God brings men into deep waters not to drown them, but to cleanse them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53697</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63088]]></link><description><![CDATA[Walking with a friend in the dark is better than walking alone in the light.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63088</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Eager souls, mystics and revolutionaries, may propose to refashion the world in accordance with their dreams; but evil remains, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54130]]></link><description><![CDATA[Eager souls, mystics and revolutionaries, may propose to refashion the world in accordance with their dreams; but evil remains, and so long as it lurks in the secret places of the heart, utopia is only the shadow of a dream]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54130</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beauty is grace and confidence.
