Temptation may be an invitation to hell, but much more is it an opportunity to reach heaven. At the moment of temptation, sin and righteousness are both very near the Christian; but, of the two, the latter is the nearer.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6227</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is no use walking anywhere to preach unless our walking is our preaching.

533 Commemoration of Thérèse of Lisieux, Carmelite Nun, Spiritual Writer, 1897  When Paul speaks [II Cor. 3] of our being ministers of the New Testament, he does not refer to books most of which were not yet written, but to the gospel, which he found in the Scripture he possessed. The Jews could only see "Old Testament" in Moses and the prophets, because they were blind. To the spiritual all Scripture is gospel, or New Testament (the Law being the schoolmaster, bringing us to Christ), but to the natural and self righteous, as we ought to know from experience and observation, all Scripture (gospels and epistles included) is Old Testament, or Covenant of Works.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8138</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Put thyself into the trick of singularity. -Twelfth Night.

Blessed hills, that heard the song Of the glorious angel-throng, Swelling all your slopes along. Happy shepherds, on whose ear Fell the tidings glad and dear, "God to man is drawing near." Happy, happy, Bethlehem, Judah's least but brightest gem, Where the rod from Jesse's stem, Scion of a princely race, Sprung in Heaven's own perfect grace, Yet in feeble lowliness. This, the woman's promised seed, Abram's mighty Son indeed; Succourer of earth's great need. This the victor in our war, This the glory see afar, This the light of Jacob's star! Happy Judah, rise and own Him the heir of David's throne David's Lord, and David's Son. Let the dayspring from on high. That arose in Judah's sky. Cover earth eternally. Babe of Bethlehem, to Thee, Infant of eternity, Everlasting glory be!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6751</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The philosopher [Immanuel] Kant was right long ago to notice ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248]]></link><description><![CDATA[Continuing a short series on topics of Christian apologetics:  The philosopher [Immanuel] Kant was right long ago to notice that moral activity implies a religious dimension. The atheist [Friedrich] Nietzsche also saw the point and argued forcefully that the person who gives up belief in God must be consistent and give up Christian morals as well, because the former is the foundation of the latter. He had nothing but contempt for fellow humanists who refused to see that Christian morality cannot survive the loss of its theological moorings, except as habit or as lifeless tradition. As Ayn Rand also sees so clearly, love of the neighbor cannot be rationally justified within the framework of secular humanism. Love for one's neighbor is an ethical implication of the Christian position. This suggests to me that the world's deepest problem is not economic or technological, but spiritual and moral. What is missing is the vision of reality that can sustain the neighbor-oriented life style that is so urgently needed in our world today.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6248</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11821]]></link><description><![CDATA[The means of defense against foreign danger historically have become the instruments of tyranny at home.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11821</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[But pleasures are like poppies spread: You seize the flower,--its bloom is shed. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48691]]></link><description><![CDATA[But pleasures are like poppies spread: You seize the flower,--its bloom is shed.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48691</guid></item></channel></rss>
