Outside, he is to be informed and vocal; inside, he must appear ignorant and mute as a sheep. Christians have within them many questions -- questions that are at once elementary and profound, questions that would ripple the water were they raised. However, because a Christian is supposed to have "answers", life's important questions are not discussed outside the church building; and, because the pastor is the educated, spiritual authority, they are not discussed inside either.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6356</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The law giver, of all beings, most owes the law allegiance.

Sin for him is not a moral failure; it is not even disobedience. Disobedience is a consequence but not the cause. The cause is: turning away from God, and from God as the highest good, as the love with which God loves Himself, through us. For this reason, since sin has this character -- if you say "sins", it is easily dissolved into moral sins; but sin is first of all basically the power of turning away from God. For this very reason, no moral remedy is possible. Only one remedy is possible: return to God. But this of course is possible only in the power of God, and this power is lost. This is the state of man under the conditions of existence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7651</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Every day, nay every moment, try to do some good deed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63865]]></link><description><![CDATA[Every day, nay every moment, try to do some good deed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/63865</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fifty-acre parcels are generally not that available in Silicon Valley.
