This is a disastrous illusion. Christians cannot behave as though time were unreal. God gives us time, but not an infinite amount of time. It is His purpose that the Gospel should be preached to all nations, and that all men should be brought into one family in Jesus Christ. His purpose looks to a real End, and therefore requires of us real decisions. If we misconstrue His patience, and think that there is an infinity of time for debate while we perpetuate before the world the scandal of our dismemberment of the Body of Christ, we deceive ourselves. In an issue regarding the doing of the will of God there is no final neutrality.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7058</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The importance of controlling bacteria in the home is no different than in the professional setting.

If a Livie or a Guicciardine, or such extensive and voluminous authors had had this story in hand, God must have made another world, to have made them a library to hold their books, of the making of this world. Into what wire would they have drawn out this earth! Into what leaf-gold would they have beat out these heavens! It may assist our conjecture herein, to consider, that amongst those men, who proceed with a sober modesty and limitation in their writing, & make a conscience not to clog the world with unnecessary books, yet the volumes which are written by them, upon the beginning of Genesis, are scarce less than infinite. God did no more but say, Let this & this be done; and Moses doth no more but say, that upon God's saying it was done. God required not Nature to help him to do it; Moses required not Reason to help him believe.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8191</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Methinks sometimes I have no more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6178]]></link><description><![CDATA[Methinks sometimes I have no more wit than a Christian or an ordinary man has.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6178</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It took me seventeen years to get 3,000 hits in baseball.
