All religions attempt to bridge the gulf between the terrific purity of God and the sinfulness of man, but Christianity believes that God built that bridge Himself. This particular Friday commemorates His deliberate action in allowing Himself to be caught up in the sin-suffering-death mechanism which haunts mankind. He didn't let it end there, for He went on, right through death. But the men who believe in Him can't forget the kind of Person such an act reveals. That's why they call it Good Friday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7422</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39324]]></link><description><![CDATA[Perseverance is failing 19 times and succeeding the 20th.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/39324</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's the amount of spin and drift that he gets, plus his accuracy.

For to be vain, or proud, or covetous, or ambitious, in the common course of our business, is as contrary to these holy tempers of Christianity as cheating and dishonesty. If a glutton were to say, in excuse of his gluttony, that he only eats such things as it is lawful to eat, he would make as good an excuse for himself as the greedy, covetous, ambitious tradesman that would say that he only deals in lawful business. For, as a Christian is not only required to be honest, but to be of a Christian spirit, and make his life an exercise of humility, repentance, and heavenly affection, so all tempers that are contrary to these are as contrary to Christianity as cheating is contrary to honesty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7230</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are six people in the race.
