"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To be happy in one's home is better than to be a chief.

Redemption is inconceivable without truth and holiness. But the mere fact that the Holy Spirit's first recorded action in the gospels is an expression of redeeming love should cause us to suspect a teaching which represents His work as primarily, if not solely, the sanctification of our own souls to the practical exclusion of His activity in us towards others. It is important to teach of Him as the Spirit of holiness; it is also important to teach of Him as the Spirit which in us labours for the salvation of men everywhere.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7722</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,  To the last syllable of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51387]]></link><description><![CDATA[To-morrow, and to-morrow, and to-morrow, Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,  To the last syllable of recorded time,   And all our yesterdays have lighted fools    The way to dusty death.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51387</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45874]]></link><description><![CDATA[Oh that the desert were my dwelling-place!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45874</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[LSD melts your mind, not in your hand. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28029]]></link><description><![CDATA[LSD melts your mind, not in your hand.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28029</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[. . . then black despair The shadow of a starless night, was thrown  Over the world in which ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12021]]></link><description><![CDATA[. . . then black despair The shadow of a starless night, was thrown  Over the world in which I moved alone.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12021</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, 1933  [Christ] tells us plainly, and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6638]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Josephine Butler, Social Reformer, 1906 Commemoration of Apolo Kivebulaya, Priest, Evangelist, 1933  [Christ] tells us plainly, and without any qualifications, that we are involved in a war in which there is no room for neutrals. Yet people attempt to evade His statement. Generally speaking, these are the very people who are the quickest in laying the blame upon God for all the sorrow and sin in the world. They argue that He could prevent it. They excuse their own do-nothing attitude by making of evil's apparent predominance a ground for doubt of His loving kindness. It never seems to occur to them to look for the cause in mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6638</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47872]]></link><description><![CDATA[So shall thy poverty come as one that travelleth, and thy want as an armed man.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47872</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Giving much to the poore, doth inrich a mans store. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49266]]></link><description><![CDATA[Giving much to the poore, doth inrich a mans store.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/49266</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stay alert, stay alive. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27471]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stay alert, stay alive.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27471</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[I love Victoria but personal feelings have very little to do with business. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32826]]></link><description><![CDATA[I love Victoria but personal feelings have very little to do with business.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32826</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20416]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where ignorance is bliss, 'Tis folly to be wise.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20416</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The soul, secured in her existence, smiles At the drawn dagger, and defies its point. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10270]]></link><description><![CDATA[The soul, secured in her existence, smiles At the drawn dagger, and defies its point.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10270</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Today we live a sad moment, all the Muslims of France, because he who touches a human life touches the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Today we live a sad moment, all the Muslims of France, because he who touches a human life touches the life of humanity as a whole,]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/34958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The Council is in the midst of significant restructuring. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41578]]></link><description><![CDATA[The Council is in the midst of significant restructuring.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/41578</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Publicity is the life of this culture - in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive - and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52520]]></link><description><![CDATA[Publicity is the life of this culture - in so far as without publicity capitalism could not survive - and at the same time publicity is its dream.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/52520</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Daniel (Zamora) is just now rounding into form, but he adds a lot to what we do offensively.

That is understood. But after all, it is the leaders of the country who determine policy, and it is always a simple matter to drag the people along, whether it is a democracy, or a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought to the bidding of the leaders. That is easy. All you have to do is to tell them they are being attacked, and denounce the pacifists for lack of patriotism and exposing the country to danger. It works the same in any country.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46915</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Too many of us have a Christian vocabulary rather than a Christian experience.
