It is this explanation of justification by faith only which leads us to the true depth of what the Gospel has contributed to this world. To live by grace and to die by grace, to live in forgiveness every day, every hour and every moment, means to identify oneself with those who do not share our faith, and to realize all the debts we owe them. Let us not be afraid that this will reduce the Gospel to relativism. Its depth is in proportion to its breadth. The deeper it is, the broader and fuller it becomes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8318</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It's often just enough to be with someone.

They cannot believe that there is verily an unseen, mysterious power, till the world and all that is in it has vanished in the smoke of despair; till cause and effect are nothing to the intellect, and possible glories have faded from the imagination. Then, deprived of all that made life pleasant or hopeful, the immortal essence, lonely and wretched and unable to cease, looks up with its now unfettered and wakened instinct to the source of its own life -- to the possible God who, notwithstanding all the improbabilities of His existence, may yet perhaps be, and may yet perhaps hear His wretched creature that calls. In this loneliness of despair, life must find The Life: for joy is gone, and life is all that is left; it is compelled to seek its source, its root, its eternal life. This alone remains a possible thing. Strange condition of despair into which the Spirit of God drives a man -- a condition in which the Best alone is the Possible!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8202</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We've got to be prepared on the local level. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28823]]></link><description><![CDATA[We've got to be prepared on the local level.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28823</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11246]]></link><description><![CDATA[A single death is a tragedy, a million deaths is a statistic.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/11246</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century    On humanist assumptions, life leads to nothing; and every ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6739]]></link><description><![CDATA[Commemoration of Katherine of Alexandria, Martyr, 4th century    On humanist assumptions, life leads to nothing; and every pretense that it does not is a deceit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6739</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[15 minutes a day!

We can so easily have talks with people, and they can say we have helped, write us grateful letters, even stand steady for a time till the juice we have put into them runs out; but, we may have brought them no hunger for God -- because that hunger is no ache in our own heart -- nor brought them anywhere near to the end of self.  ... The Notebooks of Florence Allshorn    September 13, 1999  Feast of John Chrysostom, Bishop of Constantinople, Teacher, 407  Not for that we would be unclothed, but clothed upon, that mortality might be swallowed up in life. These are words by which the slanderers of the nature, of the body, the impeachers of our flesh, are completely overthrown... We do not wish to cast aside the body, but corruption: not the flesh, but death. The body is one thing, corruption another; the body is one thing, death another...
