The gates have been opened to evil in part because of a terrible discrepancy between human ideals and actual possibilities -- terrible heresies concerning the nature of man and the structure of the historical universe. Christianity, even if it cannot persuade men to rise to the contemplation of the spiritual things, embodies principles which may at least have the effect of bringing the dreamers down to earth. Because it confronts the problem of human sin, it can face our difficulties and dilemmas without evasions -- without the fundamental evasiveness of those who believe that all would be well with the world if it were not for a few unspeakable criminals, always conveniently identified with the political enemy of the moment.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6630</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The more my wrong, the more his spite appears. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51488]]></link><description><![CDATA[The more my wrong, the more his spite appears.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51488</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Fate steals along with silent tread, Found oftenest in what least we dread;  Frowns in the storm with angry ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15387]]></link><description><![CDATA[Fate steals along with silent tread, Found oftenest in what least we dread;  Frowns in the storm with angry brow,   But in the sunshine strikes the blow.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We are seriously looking at it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30775]]></link><description><![CDATA[We are seriously looking at it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/30775</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The (Christian) "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12620]]></link><description><![CDATA[The (Christian) "doctrines" are translations into our concepts and ideas of that which God has already expressed in language more adequate, namely the actual incarnation, crucifixion, and resurrection]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12620</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I admire addicts.

In a world where everybody is waiting for some bline, random disaster, or some sudden disease, the addict has the comfort of knowing what will most likely wait for him down the road.

There was none of the indeterminate, inconclusive talking which we are apt to describe as "sowing the seed". Our idea of sowing the seed seems to be rather like scattering wheat out of a balloon... Occasionally, of course, grains of wheat scattered out of a balloon will fall upon ploughed and fertile land and will spring up and bear fruit; but it is a casual method of sowing. Paul did not scatter seeds, he planted. He so dealt with his hearers that he brought them speedily and directly to a point of decision, and then he demanded of them that they should make a choice and act on their choice. In this way he kept the moral issue clearly before them, and made them realize that his preaching was not merely a novel and interesting doctrine, but a life. (Continued tomorrow).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7973</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Happy, twice happy, you who dwell in the country, if you only knew the pleasures which surround you! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51798]]></link><description><![CDATA[Happy, twice happy, you who dwell in the country, if you only knew the pleasures which surround you!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5466]]></link><description><![CDATA[Accept the challenges so that you may feel the exhilaration of victory.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5466</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[People say Malala\'s voice is being sold to the world.

And we have seen how rapidly they develop their own forms, their own structures of thought, of language, and of organisation. It would surely be a very unbiblical view of human nature and history to think -- as we so often, in our pagan way, do -- that this is just an example of the tendency of all things to slide down from a golden age to an age of iron, to identify the spiritual with the disembodied, and to regard visible structure as equivalent to sin. We must rather recognise here a testimony to the fact that Christianity is, in its very heart and essence, not a disembodied spirituality, but life in a visible fellowship, a life which makes such total claim upon us, and so engages our total powers, that nothing less than the closest and most binding association of men with one another can serve its purpose.  ... Lesslie Newbigin, The Household of God February 2, 2000 THE PRESENTATION OF CHRIST IN THE TEMPLE  Persons that are well affected to religion, that receive instructions of piety with pleasure and satisfaction, often wonder how it comes to pass that they make no greater progress in that religion which they so much admire. Now the reason of it is this: it is because religion lives only in their head, but something else has possession of their heart; and therefore they continue from year to year mere admirers and praisers of piety, without ever coming up to the reality and perfection of its precepts.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7277</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When you come to the end of your rope...tie a knot and hang on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21195]]></link><description><![CDATA[When you come to the end of your rope...tie a knot and hang on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21195</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who feels no compassion will become insane. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9183]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who feels no compassion will become insane.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9183</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/18969]]></link><description><![CDATA[But I can tell you what I believe: When tens of thousands of innocent souls have perished in Darfur-when 11 million children are without health insurance-when our colossal debt subjects our economic future to the whims of Asian bankers-no one can tell me that faith demands this Senate spend its time arguing over a handful of judges.
