We may truly try our faith by immediate intuitions of the Sun of Righteousness.

He does not advise them to find a happy medium between the contending opinions or to average the two extremes in a compromise. On the contrary, he admonished them that "every one be fully convinced in his own mind" (Rom. 14:5), because God is able to make both stand, as both of them are serving the Lord in obedience to their individual convictions of His will... Each of us has to find personally what is the will of God for his own life, and let all others meet their responsibility to do the same... For God, by giving different commands to many, and putting them together according to His plan, shall accomplish ultimately His complete will.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6896</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[As a rule, we find what we look for; we achieve what we get ready for. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65162]]></link><description><![CDATA[As a rule, we find what we look for; we achieve what we get ready for.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/65162</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You can't gang up on the post players because they have so many good shooters on the perimeter. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35493]]></link><description><![CDATA[You can't gang up on the post players because they have so many good shooters on the perimeter.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/35493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945  It is not experience of life but experience of the Cross that ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8585]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of Dietrich Bonhoeffer, Teacher, Martyr, 1945  It is not experience of life but experience of the Cross that makes one a worthy hearer of confessions. The most experienced psychologist or observer of human nature knows infinitely less of the human heart than the simplest Christian who lives beneath the Cross of Jesus. The greatest psychological insight, ability, and experience cannot grasp this one thing: what sin is. Worldly wisdom knows what distress and weakness and failure are, but it does not know the godlessness of men. And so it also does not know that man is destroyed only by his sin and can be healed only by forgiveness. Only the Christian knows this. In the presence of a psychiatrist I can only be a sick man; in the presence of a Christian brother, I can dare to be a sinner.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8585</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[You know when you’re in a movie and you don’t know anybody else in the theater and the most beautiful ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/13731]]></link><description><![CDATA[You know when you’re in a movie and you don’t know anybody else in the theater and the most beautiful thing happens on the screen?

For it is in love that we find the greatest of strengths and the deepest of sorrows. Love can seem to be so fleeting and unachievable yet it remains well within our reach if we only learn how to embrace it's power. To experience true love, we must be willing to open ourselves up and sacrifice part of our heart and part of our soul. We must be willing to give of ourselves freely, and we must be willing to suffer. It is only when we expose our inner selves to the white hot flame of rejection, that love can burn so brightly as to join to souls, melding the two into one, creating a bond that joins forever. It is from this bond that we draw strength eternal and power ever lasting. It is in this thing that we call love that we find the means to achieve greatness, both in ourselves and in our lives.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25636</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Deals are my art form.
