"Only those who believe obey" is what we say to that part of a believer's soul which obeys, and "only those who obey believe" is what we say to that part of the soul of the obedient which believes. If the first half of the proposition stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of cheap grace, which is another word for damnation. If the second half stands alone, the believer is exposed to the danger of salvation through works, which is also another word for damnation.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/8604</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Politics is not a bad profession.

The mind of our generation, having little comprehension or taste for such a message, is usually content to try to discover "the Jesus of history", conceived as a human example and teacher of a distant past. Meanwhile, there exists always alongside all forms of religious belief the great tradition of mystical experience. The mystic knows that, whatever be the truth about an historic act or person, there is a Spirit dwelling in man. In our time, even natural science abates its arrogant denials and admits the possibility of such immanence... The weak point of mysticism, as seen at least by a matter-of-fact person, is that it is apt to be so nebulous ethically. What the Immanent is, those who claim most traffic with It can often least tell us. Is It a power making for righteousness, or is It a higher synthesis of good and evil? Or is It not a moral -- that is to say, not a personal Being at all?... The raising of these questions is not intended to throw any doubt upon the validity of mystical experience as such; but we have a right to ask what content is given in the experience. Paul was a mystic, but all his mystical experience had a personal object. It was Jesus Christ, a real, living person --historic, yet not of the past alone; divine, yet not alien from humanity.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7501</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The ear is something we cannot close at will, and we are the poorer for it. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25197]]></link><description><![CDATA[The ear is something we cannot close at will, and we are the poorer for it.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25197</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43962]]></link><description><![CDATA[Wherever you go, no matter what the weather, always bring your own sunshine.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/43962</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24669]]></link><description><![CDATA[Any society that would give up a little liberty to gain a little security will deserve neither and lose both.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/24669</guid></item></channel></rss>
