We must try to show them that that impossibility is an essential part of the doctrine. If you do not believe our Lord's words, why do you believe in His return at all? And if you do believe them, must you not put away from you, utterly and forever, any hope of dating that return?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8515</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Where you have friends you should not go to inns. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20991]]></link><description><![CDATA[Where you have friends you should not go to inns.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/20991</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's my girl that advises.

We are to go into the world and so to live our ordinary lives that, all unconsciously to us, those among whom we move will look at us again, and will begin to say, You know I used to doubt if there was much in Christianity save talk. But I have revised my opinion. There's So-and-so (that's you, you understand), that is a man in whom the thing is obviously working out. He used to be so touchy, so opinionative, so mean and shabby in his views, so dully ordinary. Yet now, undoubtedly, the man has won to self-control and a large generous mind, and -- yea, I know it's a queer thing to say -- but he has won to something more, something that somehow (though he never speaks about those things) makes you remember Jesus Christ!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7737</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[If I could remember the names of all these particles I'd be a botanist. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54822]]></link><description><![CDATA[If I could remember the names of all these particles I'd be a botanist.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54822</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[All good is hard.

And truly there is no one to blame for this but themselves. For if a man were looking and striving after nothing but to find a preparation in all things, and diligently gave his whole mind to see how he might become prepared; verily God would well prepare him, for God giveth as much care and earnestness and love to the preparing of a man, as to the pouring in of His Spirit when the man is prepared.  ... Theologia Germanica April 14, 1996  This was the fullness of time, when Christ Jesus did come, that the Messiah should come. It was so to the Jews, and it was so to the Gentiles too...
