The shortest possible description of a Christian -- a description with which the New Testament would fully agree -- is that a Christian is a person who can say: "For me Jesus Christ is Lord." Herbert Butterfield's words about facing the future are good: "Hold to Christ, and for the rest be totally uncommitted." Any alleged conversion which does not leave one totally committed solely to Jesus Christ is incomplete and imperfect. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7906</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11996]]></link><description><![CDATA[This world was never meant for one as beautiful as you]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11996</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Clare of Assisi, Founder of the Order of Minoresses (Poor Clares), 1253 Commemoration of John Henry Newman, Priest, Teacher, Tractarian, 1890   We are made for action, and for right action -- for thought, and for true thought. Let us live while we live; let us be alive and doing; let us act on what we have, since we have not what we wish. Let us believe what we do not see and know. Let us forestall knowledge by faith. Let us maintain before we have demonstrated. This seeming paradox is the secret of happiness. Why should we be unwilling to go by faith? We do all things in this world by faith in the word of others. By faith only do we know our position in the world, our circumstances, our rights and privileges, our fortunes, our parents, our brothers and sisters, our age, our mortality. Why should Religion be an exception? Why should we be unwilling to use for heavenly objects what we daily use for earthly?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7343</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We were a little bummed the rest of that night.
