That the Christian religion is only a declaration of God's goodwill to us, without any expectation of duty from us -- this is an error which one could hardly think could ever enter into any who have the liberty to read the Bible and attend to what they read and find there. The three great promises of the gospel are all very expressly contained in our Saviour's first sermon upon the mount. There we find the promise of blessedness often repeated but never absolutely made, but upon certain conditions, plainly required on our part, as repentance, righteousness, humility, mercy, peaceableness, meekness, patience. Forgiveness of sins is likewise promised, but only to those who make a penitent acknowledgement of them and ask forgiveness for them., and are ready to grant that forgiveness to others which they beg of God for themselves. The gift of God's Holy Spirit is likewise promised, but it is upon condition of our earnest and importunate prayer to God. The gospel is everywhere full of precepts enjoining duty and obedience upon our part, as well as of promises on God's part, assuring blessings to us -- nay, full of terrible threatenings also if we disobey the precepts of the gospel.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As adults, we must ask more of our children than they know how to ask of themselves.

He is free to move from place to place, from job to job, from acquaintance to acquaintance, and -- if he has attained a high degree of emancipation -- from wife to wife. He is in every context a more and more anonymous and replaceable part, the perfect incarnation of the rationalist conception of man. Wherever western civilization has spread in the past one hundred years, it has carried this atomizing process with it. Its characteristic product in Calcutta, Shanghai, or Johannesburg, is the modern city into which myriads of human beings, loosened from their old ties in village or tribe or caste, like grains of sand fretted by water from an ancient block of sandstone, are ceaselessly churned around in the whirlpool of the city -- anonymous, identical, replaceable units. In such a situation, it is natural that men should long for some sort of real community, for men cannot be human without it. It is especially natural that Christians should reach out after that part of Christian doctrine which speaks of the true, God-given community, the Church of Jesus Christ. We have witnessed the appalling results of trying to go back to some sort of primitive collectivity based on the total control of the individual, down to the depths of his spirit, by an all-powerful group. Yet we know that we cannot condemn this solution to the problem of man's loneliness if we have no other to offer. It is natural that men should ask with a greater eagerness than ever before, such questions as these: "Is there in truth a family of God on earth to which I can belong, a place where all men can be truly at home? If so, where is it to be found, what are its marks, and how is it related to, and dis tinguished from, the known communities of family, nation, and culture? What are its boundaries, its structure, its terms of membership? And how comes it that those who claim to be the spokesmen of that one holy fellowship are themselves at war with one another as to the fundamentals of its nature, and unable to agree to live together in unity and concord?" The breakdown of Christendom has forced such questions as these to the front. I think that there is no more urgent theological task than to try to give them plain and credible answers.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7045</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We learn so many things from golf- how to suffer, for instance. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17810]]></link><description><![CDATA[We learn so many things from golf- how to suffer, for instance.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17810</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23198]]></link><description><![CDATA[O! beware, my lord, of jealousy; It is the green-eyed monster which doth mock The meat it feeds on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23198</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If men are God's gift to women, then God must really love gag gifts ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17415]]></link><description><![CDATA[If men are God's gift to women, then God must really love gag gifts]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17415</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Christ is the Word of God.

It is God. We have mistaken the nature of poverty, and thought it was economic poverty. No, it is poverty of soul, deprivation of God's recreating, loving peace. Peer into poverty and see if we are really getting down to the deepest needs, in our economic salvation schemes. These are important. But they lie farther along the road, secondary steps toward world reconstruction. The primary step is a holy life, transformed and radiant in the glory of God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7782</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33232]]></link><description><![CDATA[The question is, are we happy to suppose that our grandchildren may never be able to see an elephant except in a picture book?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/33232</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Beware how you take away hope from another human being. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65655]]></link><description><![CDATA[Beware how you take away hope from another human being.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65655</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A favour is half granted, when graciously refused. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51570]]></link><description><![CDATA[A favour is half granted, when graciously refused.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51570</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Knowledge will give you power, but character respect. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66331]]></link><description><![CDATA[Knowledge will give you power, but character respect.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/66331</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28158]]></link><description><![CDATA[Lord, grant me the serenity to accept the things I can not change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to hide the bodies of those I had to kill because they pissed me off.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28158</guid></item></channel></rss>
