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". 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 which was the substance of its belief.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6740</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[It is looking like we will have a couple other minor systems move through this week, Tuesday and Saturday. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32493]]></link><description><![CDATA[It is looking like we will have a couple other minor systems move through this week, Tuesday and Saturday.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/32493</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23409]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shared joy is a double joy; shared sorrow is half a sorrow]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/23409</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The loss which is unknown is no loss at all. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25584]]></link><description><![CDATA[The loss which is unknown is no loss at all.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/25584</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[His Christianity was muscular. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6156]]></link><description><![CDATA[His Christianity was muscular.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6156</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Shows like 'CSI' are teaching people that without forensic evidence, you can't convict anybody. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42529]]></link><description><![CDATA[Shows like 'CSI' are teaching people that without forensic evidence, you can't convict anybody.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/42529</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[What a special moment for soccer in this state.

Whether for the Church or for ourselves, let us not take ourselves into our own hands, or choose our own lot. "My times are in Thy hand." He loveth the Church, which He died to purchase, His own Body, and all the members of the Body, better than we can; He loveth us better and more wisely than we ourselves He who made us loveth us better than we who unmade ourselves; He who died for us, better than we who destroy ourselves: He who would sanctify us for a Holy Temple unto Himself, better than we who have defiled what He has hallowed. Fear we not, therefore, anything which threateneth, shrink we not back from anything which falleth on us.

This bondage becomes most painfully apparent in our lives when we earnestly feel the need of changing but cannot; when we are attracted to another value that for one reason or another conflicts with the desires of our true god --that value nearest and dearest to us. But our true god lies so deeply inside us that often we are not even consciously aware of its presence or of what it actually is.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6221</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[The man who works for the gold in the job rather than for the money in the pay envelope, is ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17798]]></link><description><![CDATA[The man who works for the gold in the job rather than for the money in the pay envelope, is the fellow who gets on.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/17798</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1780]]></link><description><![CDATA[One of the many things nobody ever tells you about middle age is that it's such a nice change from being young.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/1780</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5005]]></link><description><![CDATA[Good business leaders create a vision, articulate the vision, passionately own the vision, and relentlessly drive it to completion.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5005</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5958]]></link><description><![CDATA[Forgiveness is the answer to the child's dream of a miracle by which what is broken is made whole again, what is soiled is again made clean.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/5958</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ: From Thee all skill and ...]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6819]]></link><description><![CDATA[Feast of John Vianney, Curè d'Ars, 1859 Continuing a short series of verse on Christ: From Thee all skill and science flow,  All pity, care and love,  All calm and courage, faith and hope;  O pour them from above.
