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[I heard a Stock-dove sing or say His homely tale, this very day;  His voice was buried among trees, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12813]]></link><description><![CDATA[I heard a Stock-dove sing or say His homely tale, this very day;  His voice was buried among trees,   Yet to be come at by the breeze:    He did not cease; but cooed--and cooed:     And somewhat pensively he wooed:      He sang of love, with quiet blending,       Slow to begin, and never ending;        Of serious faith, and inward glee;         That was the song,--the song for me!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/12813</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The intellectual is constantly betrayed by his vanity.

This is, of course, why many otherwise honest intellectual people will construct a neat by-pass around the claim of Jesus to be God. Being people of insight and imagination, they know perfectly well that once to accept such a claim as fact would mean a readjustment of their own purposes and values and affections which they may have no wish to make. To call Jesus the greatest Figure in History or the finest Moral Teacher the world has ever seen commits no one to anything. But once to allow the startled mind to accept as fact that this man is really focused-God may commit anyone to anything! There is every excuse for blundering in the dark, but in the light there is no cover from reality. It is because we strongly sense this, and not merely because we feel that the evidence is ancient and scanty, that we shrink from committing ourselves to such a far-reaching belief as that Jesus Christ was really God.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7378</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Being relaxed, at peace with yourself, confident, emotionally neutral, loose, and free-floating - these are the keys to successful performance ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64016]]></link><description><![CDATA[Being relaxed, at peace with yourself, confident, emotionally neutral, loose, and free-floating - these are the keys to successful performance in almost everything you do.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/64016</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[We played very sloppy early.
