In fact, however, faith in Jesus Christ crucified and risen did not first appear at some later stage in the tradition, but was the foundation of the tradition, the very soil out of which it grew; and it is in light of that faith alone that the tradition can be understood. This faith in Jesus Christ, the Crucified and Exalted One, explains both the things which the primitive tradition makes known to us, with its manifest concern for the factual truth of the tradition about Jesus, and at the same time the peculiar liberty which the evangelists take in making alterations in the record in points of detail. In relating the acts and words of Jesus, they do not refer back to any sort of "archives" possessed by the community... Jesus Christ is not for them a figure of past history whose proper place is in a library.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8254</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If our inward griefs were seen written on our brow, how many would be pitied who are now envied! [It., ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18339]]></link><description><![CDATA[If our inward griefs were seen written on our brow, how many would be pitied who are now envied! [It., Se a ciascun l'interno affanno  Si leggesse in fronte scritto,   Quanti mai, che invidia fanno,    Ci farebbero pieta!]]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18339</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63438]]></link><description><![CDATA[Actually I don't remember being born, it must have happened during one of my black outs.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63438</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every man has a mob self and an individual self, in varying proportions. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42859]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every man has a mob self and an individual self, in varying proportions.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27669]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is amazing what you can accomplish if you do not care who gets the credit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27669</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What is happening across the pages of almost every newspaper is a ruthless attempt to destroy the young challenger among ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36897]]></link><description><![CDATA[What is happening across the pages of almost every newspaper is a ruthless attempt to destroy the young challenger among the Tory modernizers' camp and to keep the Conservatives firmly on the right of British politics.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/36897</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[criminal, n.

Who goeth in the way which Christ hath gone Is much more sure to meet with Him than one   That traveleth by-ways; Perhaps my God, though He be far before,  May turn, and take me by the hand, and more,   May strengthen my decays. Yet, Lord, instruct us to improve our fast By starving sin, and taking such repast   As may our faults control; That ev'ry man may revel at his door, Not in his parlor -- banquetting the poor,   And among those, his soul.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7920</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[[Continued from yesterday]  4.

When the church finds its members falling into gross and scandalous sins, then it is time for the church to awake and cry to God for a Revival of Religion. When such things are taking place as give enemies of religion an occasion for reproach, it is time for the church to ask God, "What will become of Thy great name?"  5. When there is a spirit of controversy in the church or in the land, a revival is needful. The spirit of religion is not the spirit of controversy. There can be no prosperity in religion, where the spirit of controversy prevails.  6. When the wicked triumph over the church, and revile them, it is time to seek for a Revival of Religion.  7. When sinners are careless and stupid, and sinking into hell unconcerned, it is time the church should bestir themselves. It is as much the duty of the church to awake, as it is for the firemen to awake when a fire breaks out in the night in a great city. The church ought to put out the fires of hell which are laying hold of the wicked. Sleep! Should the firemen sleep, and let the whole city burn down, what would be thought of such firemen? And yet their guilt would not compare with the guilt of Christians who sleep while sinners around them are sinking stupid into the fires of hell.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7692</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You are never a loser until you quit trying. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10417]]></link><description><![CDATA[You are never a loser until you quit trying.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10417</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22644]]></link><description><![CDATA[It's not the load that breaks you down, it's the way you carry it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/22644</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The happiest heart that ever beat Was in some quiet breast That found the common daylight sweet, And left to ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56349]]></link><description><![CDATA[The happiest heart that ever beat Was in some quiet breast That found the common daylight sweet, And left to Heaven the rest. -John V.
