Take that one phrase (surely the most daring that the mind of man ever conceived), "We are the heirs of God." That is what they felt about it, that not God Himself could have a fuller life than theirs, and that even He would share all that He had with them! Tremendous words that stagger through their sheer audacity! And yet, here we are, whispering about the steepness of the way, the soreness of the self-denial, the heaviness of the cross, whining and puling, giving to those outside the utterly grotesque impression that religion is a gloomy kind of thing, a dim, monastic twilight where we sit and shiver miserably, out of the sunshine that God made for us, and meant us to enjoy -- that it is all a doing that nobody would naturally choose, and refraining from what everyone would naturally take: a species of insurance money grudgingly doled out lest some worse thing come upon us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7619</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I pastored a country church, a farmer didn't like the sermons I preached on hell.

The gospel of love -- with its emphasis upon brotherhood, equality before God, the dignity of every human being, and man's social responsibility toward man -- does not satisfy the lack that he urgently feels. That calls for something altogether different, for an assurance that he is superior, that he is right where others are wrong -- a kind of cosmic teacher's pet.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7788</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a wilful sin between myself and God. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56381]]></link><description><![CDATA[I couldn't live in peace if I put the shadow of a wilful sin between myself and God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56381</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This is the first time I have seen an entire state create task forces to reduce registration failure.

An Eagle sailing through the air pounced upon him and carried him off in his talons.
