For to men there is a difference of joy and of sorrow, but for thee, O Lord, there is no difference in these things; everything that comes from thee is a good and perfect gift.   ... Søren Kierkegaard August 16, 2000   By giving to Jesus Christ, the Man who was crucified under Pontius Pilate, this historical personality, the name of Lord, the Saviour, we renounce all mysticism. For mysticism in the strict sense exists only where one soars above the sphere of history, and where in place of the Mediator and the historical event are put the inner word of God, the inner motions of the soul, in order to reach immediacy between soul and God, and, in the end, the identity of both. But while it is necessary to safeguard the Christian message of the Holy Spirit from the mystical misunderstanding by calling attention to its relation to Jesus Christ, it is necessary on the other hand to safeguard the message of Jesus Christ and His work from the orthodox and rationalist misunderstanding by emphasizing that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6691</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If yet not lost to all the sense of shame. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56129]]></link><description><![CDATA[If yet not lost to all the sense of shame.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56129</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Should we grieve over a little misplaced charity, when an all knowing, all wise Being showers down every day his ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34994]]></link><description><![CDATA[Should we grieve over a little misplaced charity, when an all knowing, all wise Being showers down every day his benefits on the unthankful and undeserving?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34994</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's an absolutely fantastic end to the mission. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31072]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's an absolutely fantastic end to the mission.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/31072</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I keep the telephone of my mind open to peace, harmony, health, love, andabundance.
