This is how it is with people who love God for the sake of outward wealth or inward comfort. They do not rightly love God, when they love Him for their own advantage.

In these days, when men are so gladly hearing afresh that "in Him there is no darkness at all"; that God, therefore could not have created any man if He knew that he must live in torture to all eternity; and that His hatred to evil cannot be expressed by injustice, itself the one essence of evil, -- for certainly it would be nothing less than injustice to punish infinitely what was finitely committed, no sinner being capable of understanding the abstract enormity of what he does, -- in these days has a arisen another falsehood, less, yet very perilous: thousands of half-thinkers imagine that, since it is declared with such authority that hell is not everlasting, there is then no hell at all. To such folly, I, for one, have never given enticement or shelter. I see no hope for many, no way for the divine love to reach them, save through a very ghastly hell. Men have got to repent; there is no other escape for them, and no escape from that.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8106</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We have to laugh.

Patton   There is no human failure greater than to launch a profoundly important endeavour and then leave it half done. •Barbara Ward   Who has never tasted what is bitter does not know what is sweet. •German Proverb   A man may fail many times but he isn't a failure until he begins to blame somebody else. •J. Paul Getty   Failure is not fatal; victory is not success. •Tony Richardson   Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have. •Louis Boone   Failure is simply a few errors in judgment, repeated every day. •Jim Rohn  There are two kinds of failures: those who thought and never did, and those who did and never thought. •Laurence J.
