Even when theologies fail to do justice to this fact, Christians living with Christ in their cultures are aware of it. For they are forever being challenged to abandon all things for the sake of God; and forever being sent back into the world to teach and practice all the things that have been commanded them.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6446</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There lies more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half thecreeds. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21920]]></link><description><![CDATA[There lies more faith in honest doubt, believe me, than in half thecreeds.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[President Bush left for Canada today to attend a trade summit.
