S. Lewis when he says [of the doctrine of the Final Judgment], "There is no doctrine which I would more willingly remove from Christianity than this, if it lay in my power". But we cannot do so, for two reasons: first, because it enjoys the full support of Christ's own teaching; and second, because it makes a good deal of sense. If the gospel is extended to us for our acceptance, it must be possible also to reject and refuse it. The alternative would be for God to compel an affirmative response.   It would be nice to be able to say that all will be saved, but the question arises, Does everyone want to be saved? What would love for God be like if it were coerced? There is a hell because God respects our freedom and takes our decisions seriously -- more seriously, perhaps, than we would sometimes wish. God wants to see hell completely empty; but if it is not, He cannot be blamed. The door is locked only on the inside. It is not Christians but the unrepentant who "want" it [to be locked].]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/6839</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[To love is a pleasure of youth, a sin in old age. ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51641]]></link><description><![CDATA[To love is a pleasure of youth, a sin in old age.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/51641</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Mark! where his carnage and his conquests cease, He makes a solitude and calls it--peace! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45873]]></link><description><![CDATA[Mark! where his carnage and his conquests cease, He makes a solitude and calls it--peace!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/45873</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Yes, child of suffering, thou may'st well be sure He who ordained the Sabbath loves the poor! ]]></title><link><![CDATA[http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47890]]></link><description><![CDATA[Yes, child of suffering, thou may'st well be sure He who ordained the Sabbath loves the poor!]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/47890</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Still you keep o' the windy side of the law. -Twelfth Night.

Do not take up the vain excuse of your rawness of inexperience which you may imagine or assume. For sterile modesty is never pleasing, not that humility laudable which passes the bounds of reason. Attend to your work; drive out bashfulness by a sense of duty, and act as a master. But I am not sufficient for these things, you say. As if your offering were not accepted from what you have, and not from what you have not. Be prepared to answer for the single talent committed to your charge, and take no thought for the test. For he that is unjust in the least is unjust also in much. Give all, as assuredly you shall pay to the uttermost farthing; but of a truth out of what you have, not what you have not.]]></description><guid>http://maxioms.com/maxiom/7741</guid></item><item><title><![CDATA[Hispanics tend to use radio very frequently.
