It is not enough to have truth planted in our minds.

Its story of our origins and of our end is, to say the least, unsatisfactory. To the question, "How did it all begin?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." To the question, "How will it all end?", science answers, "Probably by an accident." And to many people, the accidental life is not worth living. Moreover, the science-god has no answer to the question, "Why are we here?" and, to the question, "What moral instructions do you give us?", the science-god maintains silence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/308</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Nobody got anywhere in the world by simply being content. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63938]]></link><description><![CDATA[Nobody got anywhere in the world by simply being content.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63938</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5675]]></link><description><![CDATA[The life of a man consists not in seeing visions and in dreaming dreams, but in active charity and in willing service]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5675</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What has always made a hell on earth has been that man has tried to make it his heaven. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62868]]></link><description><![CDATA[What has always made a hell on earth has been that man has tried to make it his heaven.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/62868</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The abilities of man must fall short on one side or the other, like too scanty a blanket when you ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/90]]></link><description><![CDATA[The abilities of man must fall short on one side or the other, like too scanty a blanket when you are abed.

That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item></channel></rss>
