Yet they like to be considered as Christians, and listen willingly to the hypocrites who preach that our righteousness is only that God holds us to be righteous, even if we are bad people, and that our righteousness is without us and not in us, for, according to such teaching, they can be counted as holy people. Woe to those who preach that men of sinful walk can not be considered pious; most are furious when they hear this, as we see and experience, and would like all such preachers to be driven away or even killed; but where that cannot be done, they strengthen their hypocrite preachers with praise, comfort, presents and protection, so that they may go on happily and give no place to the truth, however clear it may be.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6281</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24816]]></link><description><![CDATA[Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24816</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42843]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every great mistake has a halfway moment, a split second when it can be recalled and perhaps remedied.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42843</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[That's a three run error on the umpire. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32147]]></link><description><![CDATA[That's a three run error on the umpire.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32147</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the most striking parts of the Day of Atonement is that of the scapegoat.

The high priest placed both his hands on the head of a goat and confessed all the sins of the nation. Then the goat carrying the sins of the people is sent off into the wilderness. But it is not just a piece of history!   There is in the modern world a quest for scapegoats though with one enormous difference. Whenever there is an accident or a tragedy, there is a search for someone to blame. Often all the modern means of communication join in; accusations, resignations, demands for compensation and the rest. If a guilty person is found, then an orgy of condemnation and vilification. Rarely a sense of, there but for the grace of God go I. Instead of dealing gently with one another's failure because of our own vulnerability to criticism, there is the presumption that we are in a fit condition to judge and to condemn.   The enormous difference? The original scapegoat followed a confession of the sins of the people. There was no blaming of someone else, but an admission of guilt and a quest for the forgiveness of God. The goat wasn't hated, but was a dramatic picture of the carrying away sins. It was the very opposite of a selfrighteous victimisation of someone else.   Ever since 200 A.D., Christians have seen the scapegoat as a picture of Jesus. As it was led out to die in the wilderness bearing the sins of the people, so he was crucified outside Jerusalem for our sins. We are to be both forgiven and forgiving people.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who laughs last has not yet heard the bad news. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20107]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who laughs last has not yet heard the bad news.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20107</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[In our family, there was no clear line between religion and fly fishing.
