Just as if He had said: "Thou hatest me, and art mine enemy, yet I love thee, and am thy friend." ... As though God in human nature were saying: "I am pure, simple goodness, and therefore I cannot will or desire or rejoice in, or do or give anything but goodness. If I am to reward thee for thy evil and wickedness, I must do it with goodness, for I am and have nothing else."   ... Theologia Germanica  June 7, 2002   Some will not believe in miracles because the laws of nature work uniformly. But their uniformity is undisturbed by human operations; the will of man wields, without cancelling, these mighty forces which surround us: and why may not the will of God do the same?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7947</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14611]]></link><description><![CDATA[Never be afraid to trust an unknown future to a known God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/14611</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Here is the Truth in a little creed,  Enough for all the roads we go: In Love is all ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8365]]></link><description><![CDATA[Here is the Truth in a little creed,  Enough for all the roads we go: In Love is all the law we need,  In Christ is all the God we know.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8365</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hatred is a boomerang which is sure to hit you harder than the one at whom you throw it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18878]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hatred is a boomerang which is sure to hit you harder than the one at whom you throw it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18878</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Everything in art is but a copy of nature. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51142]]></link><description><![CDATA[Everything in art is but a copy of nature.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51142</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is loneliness that makes the loudest noise.

Therefore I do not see how it is possible in the nature of things for any revival of religion to continue long. For religion must necessarily produce both industry and frugality, and these cannot but produce riches. But as riches increase, so will pride, anger, and love of the world in all its branches. How then is it possible that Methodism, that is a religion of the heart, though it flourishes now as the green bay tree, should continue in this state? For the Methodists in every place grow diligent and frugal; consequently, they increase in goods. Hence, they proportionately increase in pride, in anger, in the desire of the flesh, the desire of the eyes, and the pride of life. So, although the form of religion remains, the spirit is swiftly vanishing away. Is there no way to prevent ... this continual decay of pure religion?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7080</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[They didn't play that convincingly, but they were there when it counted.

By individual depravity, I mean my own. I find it out in myself; or, rather, He who searcheth me and trieth my ways, finds it out in me. That sense of depravity implies the recognition of a law from which I have broken loose, of a Divine image which my character has not resembled. It is the law and the order which are universal. It is this character of Christ which is the true human character. It is easy enough to own to a general depravity; under cover of it, you and I would escape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7151</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Obviously, in dealing with a relationship, sexuality has to be involved, and jealousy and emotions like that.
