And when a Christian fails at something he ought to have done, it isn't just the failure that hurts -- there is also the knowledge that he has let Jesus down. And those little shortcomings of ours, that used to matter so little, compared with the glaring faults of others: we know now that our temper, or our gloom, or our selfishness, reflects on Jesus; and knowing that people are judging your Lord by you is not always a joyous thought to live with. Even the growing up to His measure is hard on a man: we have so little aptitude for such a transformation that it always means conflict, and often rebellion. And temptations hurt as they never did before: not just in the conscience, but in the heart. The assaults of temptation are not on our prudence now, or even on our morals, but on the love for Jesus. His love for us has made Him quite defenseless against our hurting Him, and so temptation is no longer an urge to do a bad thing but an urge to hurt a loving Person.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7020</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We want either an apology or some kind of explanation as to why they chose to do the cartoons. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28521]]></link><description><![CDATA[We want either an apology or some kind of explanation as to why they chose to do the cartoons.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/28521</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54715]]></link><description><![CDATA[Satire is a sort of glass, wherein beholders do generally discover everybody's face but their own.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/54715</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[There are times when I think that the ideal library is composed solely of reference books.
