The Colloquies of Erasmus  February 13, 1999  Faith is the source of energy in the struggle of life, but life still remains a battle which is continually renewed upon ever-new fronts. For every threatening abyss that is closed, another yawning gulf appears. The truth is -- and this is the conclusion of the whole matter -- the Kingdom of God is within us. But we must let our light shine before men in confident and untiring labor that they may see our good works and praise our Father in Heaven. The final ends of all humanity are hidden within His hands.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8434</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Serenity is knowing that your worst shot is still pretty good. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46328]]></link><description><![CDATA[Serenity is knowing that your worst shot is still pretty good.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/46328</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16951]]></link><description><![CDATA[The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/16951</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Let's grow marijuana instead of cows in WestCanada.(re a 30 million dollar bust in an abandonedOntario brewery). ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/577]]></link><description><![CDATA[Let's grow marijuana instead of cows in WestCanada.(re a 30 million dollar bust in an abandonedOntario brewery).]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/577</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56427]]></link><description><![CDATA[Sincerity makes the very least person to be of more value than the most talented hypocrite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/56427</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64299]]></link><description><![CDATA[Intelligence is the wife, imagination is the mistress, memory is the servant.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64299</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For every man there is something in the vocabulary that would stick to him like a second skin.

It is not enough to express formal belief in the "Incarnation" or in the "Divinity of. Christ"; the staggering truth must be accepted afresh -- that in this vast, mysterious universe, of which we are an almost infinitesimal part, the great Mystery, Whom we call God, has visited our planet in Person. It is from this conviction that there springs unconquerable certainty and unquenchable faith and hope. It is not enough to believe theoretically that Jesus was both God and Man; not enough to admire, respect, and even worship Him; it is not even enough to try to follow Him. The reason for the insufficiency of these things is that the modern intelligent mind, which has had its horizons widened in dozens of different ways, has got to be shocked afresh by the audacious central Fact -- that, as a sober matter of history, God became one of us.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7942</guid></item></channel></rss>
