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[To think is to differ. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52245]]></link><description><![CDATA[To think is to differ.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52245</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You get fifteen Democrats in a room, and you get twenty opinions ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11860]]></link><description><![CDATA[You get fifteen Democrats in a room, and you get twenty opinions]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11860</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA["I can't" isn't a reason to give up, it's a reason to try harder ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53083]]></link><description><![CDATA["I can't" isn't a reason to give up, it's a reason to try harder]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/53083</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Coach Bruce Weber told me in a meeting that all I have to do is play pretty well.

Whenever, by exertion in any unselfish cause, health is broken or fortune impaired, or influential friends estranged, the follower of Christ is called an enthusiast, a fanatic, or even more plainly a man of unsound mind. He may be comforted by remembering that Jesus was said to be beside Himself when teaching and healing left Him not leisure even to eat.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7271</guid></item></channel></rss>
