S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is difficult to inspire others to accomplish what you haven't been willing to try ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21060]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is difficult to inspire others to accomplish what you haven't been willing to try]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/21060</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The sea returning day by day Restores the world-wide mart.  So let each dweller on the Bay   ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4779]]></link><description><![CDATA[The sea returning day by day Restores the world-wide mart.  So let each dweller on the Bay   Fold Boston in his heart    Till these echoes be choked with snows     Or over the town blue ocean flows.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/4779</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   We must be willing to accept the bitter ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7880]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Mary Sumner, Founder of the Mothers' Union, 1921   We must be willing to accept the bitter truth that, in the end, we may have to become a burden to those who love us. But it is necessary that we face this also. The full acceptance of our abjection and uselessness is the virtue that can make us and others rich in the grace of God. It takes heroic charity and humility to let others sustain us when we are absolutely incapable of sustaining ourselves. We cannot suffer well unless we see Christ everywhere, both in suffering and in the charity of those who come to the aid of our affliction.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7880</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of arts And eloquence. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3418]]></link><description><![CDATA[Athens, the eye of Greece, mother of arts And eloquence.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/3418</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The readiness of doing doth expresse No other but the doer's willingnesse. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61597]]></link><description><![CDATA[The readiness of doing doth expresse No other but the doer's willingnesse.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/61597</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Ours is the age which is proud of machines that think and suspicious of men who try to. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Ours is the age which is proud of machines that think and suspicious of men who try to.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/9372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A wounded spirit who can bear? ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48653]]></link><description><![CDATA[A wounded spirit who can bear?]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/48653</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47372]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mankind must put an end to war, or war will put an end to mankind.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47372</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[This concern for the rights and liberties and welfare of the backward peoples is rooted in the Christian ethic of ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7193]]></link><description><![CDATA[This concern for the rights and liberties and welfare of the backward peoples is rooted in the Christian ethic of justice and of the duty to help and protect the weak, upon the Christian valuation of man as of spiritual dignity and worth, as made for freedom, as a potential child of God.

Many otherwise intelligent people have never read with adult attention either the four Gospels or the Letters of the New Testament.

"Salvation" can be seen then as the new life in Christ, in which we are to be "free to develop" into Christ-like people. For this maturing to take place, there needs to be a breaking down of barriers, a breaking up of the soil of our personalities, and a healing of inner wounds and hurts. The soil is softened, the clay becomes malleable through the experience of the tender love of God and the accepting, non-judgmental love of Christians. We cannot be beaten into shape.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6187</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[A girl phoned me the other day and said... 'Come on over, there's nobody home.'
