Its core was the conviction that, in thus extending the range of western liberal culture and developing its assumptions, they were in effect establishing on earth that which would grow into the kingdom of God. Some put it sharply but un-Biblically: "building the kingdom"; others, of a more secular turn of mind, echoed J. A. Symonds' hymn, "These Things Shall Be". That whole view exists today only as debris, for it has foundered on the rocks, not so much of human sin, as of the contradictions and complexities of the very western culture that was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6477</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Present-moment living, getting in touch with your "now," is at the heart of effective living.

Paul does not, in fact, speak (when he is using the language strictly) of "justification by faith", but of "justification by grace through faith," or "on the grounds of faith." This is not mere verbal subtlety. It means that the "righteousness of God" becomes ours, not by the assertion of the individual will as such, but by the willingness to let God work.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7859</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10256]]></link><description><![CDATA[Courage is what it takes to stand up and speak; courage is also what it takes to sit down and listen.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/10256</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27777]]></link><description><![CDATA[When I was a boy I was told that anybody could become President; I'm beginning to believe it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/27777</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19279]]></link><description><![CDATA[He who hesitates is not only lost, but miles from the next exit.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/19279</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[When we know love matters more than anything, and we know that nothing else REALLY matters, we move into the ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/58381]]></link><description><![CDATA[When we know love matters more than anything, and we know that nothing else REALLY matters, we move into the state of surrender.

Forgiveness is God's idea, God's desire; and it is He who appoints both the Judge and the Counsel for the Defense. It was He who inaugurated the priestly work, that men might receive His cleansing and turn to the Lamb of God slain from the foundation of the world. God has provided for himself a Lamb. It is He who sends His Son to be our Elder Brother, and to incorporate us as adopted sons into the circle of His Fatherly love. So then it is the voice of His beloved Son which is most clearly heard by the Father in heaven. In that voice of intercession, all the voices of intercession are contained and heard. The Son is talking to the Father about us, and what He says is not Please but Yes.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6494</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give--which is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25613]]></link><description><![CDATA[Love has nothing to do with what you are expecting to get, it's what you are expected to give--which is everything.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25613</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15749]]></link><description><![CDATA[Stressing output is the key to improving productivity, while looking to increase activity can result in just the opposite.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/15749</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[He's the rock around which we normally build our innings. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42696]]></link><description><![CDATA[He's the rock around which we normally build our innings.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42696</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We got this information.

All we can do is believe or disbelieve; to give it in our life the place of the final reality to which everything else must give way, or to refuse it that place. Many people ... would like to talk the Word of God over. It raises in their minds various questions they would willingly discuss. It has aspects of interest and of difficulty which call for consideration; and so on. Perhaps there are some that confusedly shield themselves against the responsibilities of faith and unbelief by such thoughts. All that such thoughts prove, however, is that those who cherish them have never yet realized that what we are dealing with in the Gospel is GOD. When God speaks in Christ, He reveals His gracious will without qualification. And without qualification, we have to believe in it, or refuse to believe, and so decide the controversy between ourselves and Him. God has not come into the world in Christ ... to be talked about, but to become the supreme reality on the life of men, or to be excluded from that place.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8024</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hanging is too good for him said Mr. Cruelty. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26852]]></link><description><![CDATA[Hanging is too good for him said Mr. Cruelty.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/26852</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[For the first time in history, a private company is organizing a mission to the moon, ...
